Ignoring the objective

[Mad Marduk]

Getting caught completely ignoring the objective in comp matches should be reportable for throwing and result in minimum week long bans from comp play. Can we agree on this? I’m tired of losing rank because of people that want to treat comp like a bad qp match. I know I’m not the only solo queue player that has this issue.

just report them for throwing

When you say ignoring do you mean completely ignoring, Like they don't even step foot on it?

- Or is it DPS flanking or standing off it to get a quick pick
- People pushing up once obj is captured or moving to hold the other team off it

These are a couple reasons people might ignore it after its captured.

Does it currently fall under it? I know healers refusing to heal does but not sure about ignoring objective. Unfortunately reporting them doesn’t fix the problem if they aren’t removed from the comp matchmaking pool for a while so they don’t throw other people’s games. My 10 year old is genuinely better than most people I run into in QP which helps when we queue but then I have to turn off VC for obvious reasons. It’s just frustrating when you and even frequently your team are otherwise playing well and winning the team fights.. but they just don’t touch the objective. I almost wonder if 90% of people sincerely don’t understand that it isn’t team deathmatch.

No, I mean they straight up only enter the objective on accident on the way to go elsewhere. Not flanking around. Not forming up to avoid trickling and get a push ready. Just everyone running around the outside of the map having fights that don’t matter while the other team wins the game.

Edit: And this isn’t just after it is captured. A lot of the time they literally never go to it at all.

There's good reason why this is an option in the report log. Even in casual mode ( vs AI ) you should at least show signs that you want to complete the objective, you just don't have to normally take it as seriously about it at all costs.

Purposely ignoring the matches ( and often goofing off the entire match ) meets the very definition of "throwing" a match.

Oh then that sucks, yeah you can report them for throwing and blocking progress.
I don't really mind if DPS go off on their own or 4 people go off while two capture it, thats fine. But completely ignoring it like the mode is DeathMatch is wrong

I've had that. He's not talking about a quick pick, but team that decides to just PvP and not play objective at all.

Sadly they will not do anything to fix comp for players that actually want to climb.
They want to make money and more players playing = more money in their pockets so they will definitely cater to the avg gamer/children who will mindlessly play their game even at the expense of everyone elses time. Almost all pvp team games have this problem with skill gap and mechanical skill/knowledge of team based objectives and playing a role correctly. Its way more complicated and difficult playing as a cohesive team and the new generation of gamers have no social skills or self awareness.

true. i remember playing team based games 10+ years ago it was just better. It's not until now that i realise it's because gaming got much bigger and received a massive influx of casual players.
