Other players can only kick from from that Session, but they can't ban you.
Why do people say that they get kicked for NO REASON. That's not true at all. I play constantly and rarely see people get kicked for NO REASON like you say. People kick noobs that play 30 hours and jump into versus, which is normal. Maybe not for noobs, but it is for players who do not find pleasure in babysitting and losing a game because of that.
It is not because you are too new to the game to understand why you got kicked, that this automatically means you got kicked for NO reason.
I was playing a versus game with three other people at a LAN game, and we ended up getting the same team; four 'random' players got into the other team, and I say 'random' because two of the players instantly took the same team, Survivor, and joined in quick succession.. They ended up steamrolling us to a degree, and I believe they got two or three to the safe room on the first map of No Mercy; one player ended up dying completely, and then we had our turn as Survivors. I believe we got wrecked just before the stairs to the safe room, but we had fun; on the next map, they ended up kicking the person who died just before they left the safe-room because he was 'bad'.
Guess who joined? Some elite who could dead-stop Jockeys and Hunters, while we essentially got rolled every time; I mean really, it turned into a pub-stomp that wasn't fun for anyone. In this case, can you possibly say the player who got kicked deserved it, even if he had low hours? There's a difference between losing, getting pub-stomped and having a good match; clearly, some players simply have an ego a little to big for themselves, and simply can't stand losses.
Kicking based on hours is absolutely ludicrous; it's elitism, plain and simple, in a game that doesn't reward victory in any way. I can understand if you simply get no opportunity to even attack the Survivors, which results in consistent respawn timers with no damage done, while as the Survivors you simply die in spawn; in those cases, I think it's acceptable to kick someone. Kicking them because they can't dead-stop every bloody Jockey that comes at them, or because they miss a death charge, is absolutely ridiculous, and yet happens to someone in most games I've played; exactly how do people suppose you get better, if you're not allowed to fail?
If you know the basics, I fail to see why you should be kicked from a game merely because you don't meet the elitist standards of your team-mates; I'm not going to play fifty hours with bots just to get the 'privilege' to play online with real players, considering how trolls can easily infest public games. People need to learn to think about something other than their over-inflated ego, as well as stop deliberately rigging games; it's ludicrous, promotes bad tendencies on the part of players and restricting public modes to players who have 'accomplished' something in terms of hours is, in every sense of the word, idiotic.
Its something you have to get used to, the L4D2 community does not like to have fun, they just like to whine and rage.
Luckly, in those cases, you can block the sucker who called the vote so you won't have to meet him in another game again...
Try not to do this. I appreciate you not starting them, but It still makes it really hard for new players to learn how to play, and makes them hate the gamemode very quickly. That was me. And I assume a lot of other people were in the scenario too. For some reason the community is more snotty and stubborn than Dota 2's community, and that really doesnt make sense because L4D2 is not a competitive game. People are just stuck up a$$ holes.
You are the kind of person destroying the community. Let new players play, or else they shall forever be new. Perhaps it's not NO REASON, but it certainly is a stupid reason. L4D2 is not a serious game, and people should not be taking it that seriously.
People need to grab a beer and relax
Exactly how are you defending the point that the community isn't horrible, considering how they both have a fair number of hours played, in terms of time and not comparison, while you adopt an elitist mindset based only on hours played? I mean really, you pretty much contradicted yourself in a point that you can't even support with any kind of logistic backing; if anything, you ended up proving their point for them, which is hilarious given your attitude.
It is what it is, dont let people get you down.
Also custom mission maps are pretty fun. Im really looking forward to RE: Outbreak File 2 and Silent Hill 2 if they come out. Dawn of the Dead was nice as well.
