why the long wait time when you deny a match

[mRsITH]

it is crazy to me to have to wait 3 hrs to play another round when you deny a match. i accidently pushed this button when it popped up with a match. now can someone fix this probably cuase i never dienied a mathc before and i am still wondering why its a 3 hr wait.!!! fix this

Wait times stack, starting at 2 minutes.

You're a bad liar.

[Ninjabutter]

If it's saying 3 hours and you've never done it before, it's a glitch. You can probably fix it by just relaunching the client. It's not displaying the right number.

Or you're a filthy liar, one of the two.

Because nobody likes having "that guy" make them wait ANOTHER 3+ minutes for a 40+ minute game of DotA 2.

it should be capped at 30 minutes or even 10 minutes, and low priority should be removed entirely, the trolls will sink in hidden mmr and play with other trolls by default.

as of right now dota2 needs all the help it can get, because for me it took over 30 minutes to find normals matches on a regular basis, this is assuming it was finding matches fast. bear in mind that i was a 5k mmr player on my 2k mmr account i could get in matches in 5 to 10 minutes.

because of those things dota2 became unplayable, when other games have me enter matches alot sooner. that combined with dota2 reborn lag that never existed before reborn. i amm talking about my screen locking up for 5 to 30 seconds numerous times during matches, which is enough to cost plays on numerous occasions.

No, it shouldn''t be capped at all, its fine, people need to learn to take other people's time in consideration.

No. No no no. That's the worst suggestion I've heard on the forums so far.

LP and dodge penalties are there for a reason: Don't be toxic in a match (not just harassment, but griefing, etc) and you won't get them. EVER.

If you get them, you're an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that deserves it, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

ur kind of stupid cause the system does punish players for days and it has done absolutely no good, any time you search for a match, around 10 times someone failed to ready up, and before the punishments were this steep, people readied up more frequently.

secondly, forcing people to take a time out from queuing up makes it take even longer to find matches(which by your logic is wasting everyone's time and goes against your very own claim about wasting people's time). it already takes me over 30 minutes to just find normals matches, me being the 5k mmr player that i amm. last thing i need is someone being taken out from queue, for not readying up which is why it's not uncommon for me to find matches in 45 minutes or even an hour sometimes.

i don't give a crap about people who don't ready up, i don't consider it a waste of my time, what i do consider a waste of my time is waiting 30 minutes to find matches, and the system promotes it to take even longer, by having less people in the queue. i personally always ready up, thus this doesn't affect me.

i'm thinking about improving dota2, not about my own selfishness of wanting to punish someone for not readying up. shorter queue times, is improved dota2, when it takes 30 minutes to find matches.

anyone with a brain wouldn't care, if you really care about people who don't ready up in dota2 queue times you are a short sighted person who doesn't see the whole picture of what is overall less waste of people's time(i'm talking about the people who never fail to ready up, their time is less wasted if the people who fail to ready up didn't have a time ban). and considering the fact ever since they made the time ban steeper, it hasn't done anything to help people failing to ready up, people fail to ready up more after that change. so that mere fact alone proves that your claimm that longer time ban doesn't improve how often people ready up. which goes against what you just said. which means since people don't ready up more now than before, a longer time ban directly means longer queue time for every single person who is in queue, including the people who always ready up. thus making longer time bans directly something needing to be fixed. dota2 been unplayable more and more and more over time due to changes like these. this is why a capped at 30 minutes certainly wouldn't harm dota2 in way shape or form, kiddo.

I stopped reading right there, please tell me how do you know the system does't work? what kind of data backs up your claim?.

Also, "my main account is actually 5kmmr".. that's another red flag.

If DotA had a surrender option, I might agree.

Having a surrendur option promotes trolling and throwing.

[Jargas]

I don't get why there's a decline button at all. You get punished just the same as if you let it go. Why give the possibility to accidently punish myself.

I also agree there wouldn't be any harm in capping the ban. anything longer than 10 min and trolls wouldn't bother messing with the matchmaking. Before I'm attacked as if I'm suggesting there should be no penalty I know it's there for a reason, I was here back in early beta when you'd have to try 10 times everytime because there was always that one who didn't ready up but as i said with 10 to 20 min between failures to rdy up no one would bother trolling.

Yeah no, sometimes I wish I could surrender and not waste my time on a game that has no hope but if it was ever an option people would abuse it.

How many games has anyone played where people are screaming GG over and over again 20 min in but you end up winning? That would almost never happen again with a surrender option because those people screaming GG would start to feed to force the vote soon as they think it's over

Why would it need one? You get a free abandon weekly, so there's your surrender option.

Then I don't see the problem. If you save it for a rainy day (so to speak), then you'll be fine.
