30 min "deserter" for not choosing a character. Srsly?

[Cpt. James M.]

Lol, nice game, developers. It's not "leave" from game or something like "trolling", I just didn't choice a character and got 30 min penalty. Nice

[Cpt. James M.]

Do I understand correctly, that leave of one player from the "Champions selection", search starts from the beginning (instead of looking for one player, who left). And you call this system is not stupid?
The problem is that if a person minimize the game and forget to select the character, that is no reason to ban 30 minutes. Because the system has to quickly find a single person for the current queue.
And this is in standart normal game, not ranked. Against trolling exit in selecting champions must be a summarize restrictions(5-10-15-20...etc). I got just 30 minutes. I have never seen such problems in any MOBA.

well , 30 minutes its enough for u dont do that again ^^

where i have to agree sadly is that the big punishment should be the "leaving the actual match".
I can understand people leaving champ select and its a ♥♥♥♥ move but leaving the match is even worse because u waste peoples time even more so i would agree a 15 min bann for leaving select and 30 min bann for leavin the game but i could miss something here :x

Leaving the game doesn't necessarily make it a bad one though. I've had decent matchups when it's 4v5 on both ends. Sure it's a pain, but at least the other 9 people get to play the game anyway. Sometimes you'll get the enemy team (who have 5 people) go a little easier earlier on to let them catch up a little (say it was the support who was missing, or the 5th person came back and was too far behind).

Point is, if someone leaves during lobby, the game never happens, there is no chance of getting into it, you have to requeue which for some people could take an hour or more.

If someone leaves during the game, it varies. If they leave at the start, there is a chance they come back (maybe they dc'd on loading and restart Smite to get back in). If they leave at the start and don't come back, then high penalty is ok. But if they leave just before the end (i.e. a few minutes before end, whether they won or lost), then a harsher penalty would be too harsh as they were there for the majority of the game.

As mentioned before, the reason leaving God Select and leaving actual games starts with a 30-minute penalty is to avoid people abusing the system to enforce their own ideas of how other people should be playing the game. People will leave god select because someone picked a god they didn't want them to pick, people will AFK and quit the game because someone isn't playing exactly the way they think they should play the game; if the penalty was shorter than the actual average length of a Smite game, then it's a simple calculation of "They aren't playing the game MY way, so I can skip out on them and only get a 15 minute deserter penalty rather than *horrors* have to play a 30 minute match with someone who might play the game differently than me..."

Not clicking the Accept button from queue starts with a 2 minute penalty, because sometimes stuff happens and you just weren't paying attention, so that can be a short penalty. But where skipping out can be abused to harass other players, the 30 minute penalty is a requirement. Either pay attention and do what you need to do and play the game, or go find something else to do other than Smite.

Yea, that's perfectly fine. Not selecting a god within the timer is the same as quiting. The penalty for not accepting a queue is first 2 minutes then I think 10 minutes the second time, and finally 30 minutes for the third time. This is very fair and really don't understand what you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about. Sometimes people won't like the role they got or something and purposely not select a god, thus they get a penalty for it.
