RANK SYSTEM ON L4D2

[cr4y]

The game is full of rage quit and some really new players. Rank system like csgo in versus games would improve it so much...

[Dr Chaos MK]

I somewhat agree with you. From your post, I will assume you have experience with CS:GO. I would like to see bans handed out to quitters like CS:GO. & something like Overwatch would be nice too.

I wonder if it's possible to write a plugin to auto-kick/ban people with low hours.

A new player should be kicked for trying to play a game they just bought?

That's actually pretty common in the L4D2 community. Some people just don't like putting up with other people who don't spend a plethora of hours playing L4D2.

that's why I've sugested rank system, it would invite more players to play l4d2 on a more competitive level and on the same level... And punish rage quit which is always good

A auto-ban might be too much. Auto-kick though might be more reasonable.

No. But I believe new players should learn the basics before going online. Please remember that if you go into online games, you will be affecting others. At least having the maps learned makes it more positive for other players. Most people do not understand this unfortunately. They have a entitlement attitude & that causes negative tension.

I will say my experience was & what I did before going online. A few of us played some L.A.N games on both the XBOX 360 & P.C. We practiced there for at least 100 - 125 hours. By then we had the maps learned, knowledge of how the common & the special infected acted & had Expert cleared. THEN we went onto public games. Of course, most people will not have the patience for that.

You have to realize we are all people. We all have different amounts of patience. If you fear you will be treated in a way you don't want to, then avoid public games in general. Single Player and / or Friends - Only games are equally enjoyable.

100 % agree. & I don't 100 % agree with a lot of things. I can tell everyone here that.

I didn't say anything about being afraid of being treated a certain way. Everyone does have different amounts of patience. You're spot-on in that regard.

No, but sometimes new players jump into the most difficult stuff right away without knowing anything about anything in this game. I once played with someone on expert who had 7 freaking hours and got killed several times during the campaign. After the campaign I asked him why the hell he jumped into expert and he said because it was "intense".

I'm all for wanting a great experience when playing a game but what new players don't get is that this is a multiplayer game. That means that while they might be having fun, the other 3 people on the team see them as dead weight most of the time who they have to constantly worry about.
So to be honest, no a player shouldn't be kicked for trying to play a game they bought, a player should be kicked for overestimating themselves and forcing their noobness on others with the expectations that other people have to put up with it, and if they don't then they are horrible people.

Learning in lan play is not really the best thing, especially as a team of the same 4 people. Unless you're gonna play the map the exact same every time, which would be an incredibly dull grind, public learning is always the best. Anybody who has less than 250 hours wouldn't be particularly skilled anyway, unless they had also played on console previously. Even then the jump from console to PC is a learning curve what with smoother framerate and a more pissy player base. Kicking or banning people for leaving isn't always a good thing - in CSGO I got a 7 day ban for leaving when we had an emergency in my home. Not really much I could do about that. As for ranks, that doesn't seem like the best idea, as new players will be bunched together with other new players, they will do terribly, and then quit and never try it again. A mixed skill pool is the best for new and existing players as you can have fun learning how to play and (as I do) have fun teaching people how to play.

if you get banned for 7 days for leaving a game in csgo it's because you left games before, the bans start at half an hour, so what you're saying is that the ranks on csgo doesnt work.
Dude, if you're good player you will eventally uprank because you'ill start to win, it's frustating when the other team have 4 good players and the only way you're loosing it's because you have a player with 30h on your team, this leads to ragequit and the player with 30h dont even know what's happening. It's just becoming sad for good players to play alone, because probably you will get noobs on team, or if you play with friends the others will rage

Depends on what they do. Joining public competitive games or hard difficulty can be obnoxious to the people already there when you don't know basics like how to shove or switch weapons.

What if you just gotta go live in the real world for a little while during a l4d2 game?

Time management. If you have to go to work. Or go to an appointment to your doctor. ect . . . then you should not be playing L4D 2 around the time you need to leave. Simple.

You see, there IS ranking system kinda in the competitive matches in confogl/promod. They scrim and have tourneys in pots which are basically the skill group. I completetly disagree with you in ranked pubs, this would take WAYYY too long to find a match and would ruin the pubing style which is that you're on a ♥♥♥♥ config, ♥♥♥♥ server but you don't need to take things serious or are tied to a match so you CAN quit at any time.
