10 minute wait is too long for first missed match

[Jimson]

I've never dropped out of a single game and I get 10 minutes without even a warning that declining will get me 10 minutes? And inb4, "you made 10 people wait 40 minutes". I had an important phone call, I barely didn't unqueue in time and declined on purpose to SPARE people from waiting on me.

Well, I've got 10 minutes. So I'm complaining.

Think of this as a way to take a moment and do something else. Missing a match of dota 2 just barely is dissappointing or having to decline last minute sucks, but if it happens again it will be worse. Just take the ten minutes. Its better then half an hour. Or a day. Or a week. Or a year.

Just had this happen to me where I was the guy sitting at a 9/10 screen. You get HIGH PRIORITY QUEUE if this happens to you, even more reason that 10 minute wait is too long. 1 guy dropping from the game makes me wait 1 minute, he shouldn't have to wait 10.

Waiting on an important phone call, better queue for a game of dota

Yeah that's good planning

There are other things in life besides games you know....that 10 minute thing is there to remind kids of such things....

Getting mixed messages here,

do I have a life or no life?

Confusing.

All I'm saying is as a guy whose seen both sides of it, the penalty is too harsh for one side. It's one thing if you waste everyone's time with a late game no connect, a simple decline should not hit you so hard.

Or better yet, keep the 10 minute wait and put a warning on the decline button, because with it the exact same size as the accept button, there's not enough disincentive to click it.

I agree with a timer button on the accept/decline option. Then again in the new dota 2 version...it takes literally about 3 seconds to find a match and load to the lobby...so I had no issues there...

the reason wy 10min. is almost none learn from it so they need to do it in a hard way like low they did their best to get the rotten appels out of the basket and put then in a different basket but ones they get out of it they still have not learn anything from that so they get back in very fast

Next time it will be something like 24 hours
