This topic is for discussing proposed solutions and theories to mitigate the aforementioned problem.
I believe many here have already experienced the problem of being in matches where, right at the beginning, someone on their team has already pressed J and abandoned the team. This is a frequent problem, and I believe we need to find solutions for it. To address this problem, I propose a discussion of solutions that are based on sound reasoning. In your view, how would you combat this problem? (justify your answers).
Actually, there isn’t much to discuss. It would suffice if all your crews went on cooldown at the same time. That way, they wouldn’t be able to switch to another nation.
Well, J out with reserve vehicles is used to skip the map and avoid crew lock ( or used before J out kill credit )
Players that wait 20 secs to spawn and immediately J out or players that J out 3 times looks like scripted behavior to farm deaths to … You know, not having suspicious stats.
What the game can do ? Remove them, permanently 😁
PD : unless someone can explain me why a guy spawn 3 times in his top tier lineup and just J out the 3 times ( before the J out kill was introduced )
I’ve been doing this for nearly one year now except I don’t even spawn in. Even statshark has marked me as “player with weird play style, likely odl or not spawning”.
The only time I bothered not even spawning in was when I was doing the BP task for capping and 4 kills and the game kept giving me fucking battle gamemodes.
I think instead of focusing on punishing these players, it would be healthier for the game to focus on fixing why people do that in the first place.
I tend to do it (more often than not when it comes to ground nowadays…) because I’m either thrusted into a full uptier when I only have stock tanks in my lineup, or because I hate the map.
To reduce these, you would either change the matchmaker (which gaijin refuses to do because “what about queue time”) or give players more map bans, ie f2p players get a map ban and premium users 3 (or even better, give 3 to everyone, but gaijin still needs an incentive for players to buy premium, which I understand).
It’s impossible to play these past two days. Every player who has unlocked the AMV BMP-3 just rushes in, dies, and quits. Two minutes into the match, we’re down to 4 or 5 players against a full team. Pls Gaijin do something!
the only answer for what you as a player can do unfortunately is to play lower BRs. Below like 8.0. I find the higher up in BR you go the more common ODLing is. if you play at WW2 BRs its a lot less common.
I barely touch top tier and the ODLing is a major part of that. Its so incredibly boring playing for 5 minutes and having the game basically over after the first engagement because everyone has ODLd.
For an actual fix, it needs to be punished properly. entire lineup locked until the battle you left ends, not just the ones you didnt spawn in. Maybe increase it to locking all of your crews in all nations if you do it repeatedly.
Classic. Don’t address why the guy is leaving the match and instead go for soft banning them from the game for 10 minutes. We all know the best way to teach your kids is to beat them right? This is sarcasm
More likely that the player just closes the game and plays something else, thats bad for business. Just solve the issues that cause people to leave matches and it will get better
the problem is that you cant solve the issues. because the issues stem from players being whingy idiots who dont want to play if its not exactly what they want, which is a physically impossible task.
Players leave if they dont like the map: Different players like different maps, impossible to solve other than the couple of genuinely terrible maps (and even then there isnt 100% agreement on them being terrible)
Players leave if they aren’t top tier: Again, you’ll have to seperate the playerbase too much to reduce the tier spread. there isnt the playerbase for it. Even if they lowered it to 0.7 people would still whinge and cry. Heck I bet there would still be whingeing even if it was a flat 0.0 spread (which will be impossible even if there was enough players for queue times). People like that don’t want any sort of challenge, they want to beat up on people weaker than them.
Players leave because the one tank they want to play they died in. Gaijin have already tried to help with that by giving piles of free backups to keep spawning in the same vehicle.
So what? That is not the issue of J’ing out. Those players will leave as soon as the map loads and the slot will be likely replaced by someone else in a few seconds
Strongly disagree, there is playerbase for it. BR’s are too compressed just to cut the waiting times for a minute at the cost of making unbalanced matches.
Last played sweden probably two years ago, maybe played 1 out of 20 sun city, if they only give me these braindead cqc maps I would actually stop playing the game altogether lol
same i have sweden banned. throw tanks that are designed to engage at 2km+ into a knifefight at melee range? no thanks. if they actually wanted to ‘solve’ odl give us better maps, more map bans, remove the spawn limit on vehicles
