Vote Kick

There is something seriously wrong with voting out a player based on his performance. If you are owning a game, there should be no reason you are punished for being a better player than the rest.

Re: Vote Kick

Perhaps the vote kick needs to be disabled for now.

Re: Vote Kick

never disabell votekick simply put theres always some retard that wil ruin game for all like a lagger or someone taking forever to load


and the rare times when a good player are voted out its usualy because there being a douche and not lettin anyone fight eachother yet not jsut killing people and getting it overwith either

if your gonna string people along then let tehm fight to give them a chance or jstu ****ing end it and it wont matter

Re: Vote Kick

It's a free game, free country. If they're not having fun, they can leave. Don't let all the kiddies who aren't having fun get their way just because they kick and scream. If you're having a hard time, I'm sure "robosaur" will make a new game you can join in on.

Re: Vote Kick

Another game where I was votekicked out. Just because I was owning. It's so sad that you'll get so far in a game, and once you finally start to pull ahead, two little newbie kids votekick you out. I know you were against this stormahawk and it really needs to be out of the game. It does nothing.

Re: Vote Kick

This can ruin a game or save the game.

Same concept with most things, things can be abused, or used to save games by kicking laggers, hackers, or someone truly ruining the game.

Re: Vote Kick

How can someone hack? It's a way for a child to say "I want to win! Not you!" it serves no purpose but to dumb-down the game. I know if I'm getting killed, and there is no way I can catch up, I'll man up and quit. You know robosaur is making a new game right? So what I see almost every game, is where I'm destroying half of the map, and I get the guys whos base I am destroying come up with a votekick, to try and save his ass.

Re: Vote Kick

Robosaur is a bot >.>

Votekick I have seen has done lot more good then harm, it helps us get rid of laggers, thus make games better and not take forever to play

Re: Vote Kick

Yes robosaur is a bot. Anyways, I have not seen any laggers. Eventually a person will lag out anyhow. The game lags whenever someone abruptly leaves.

Make it require a vote from all current players except the one being voted.

Works fine for Legion TD.

Re: Vote Kick

It works for laggers. But it's also being abused by noob players. Instead of kicking your ass kicked and learning from it, they know they can just votekick to win.

Re: Vote Kick

I'd say that maybe only team mates could vote-kick, or go with Shyhalu's idea and make it need a mega-majority.

Re: Vote Kick

Here's the situation that really ircked me. I was Panda, he doesn't have a good ultimate in my opinion. And the only people left on the map were red and LB. Red had Bloodmage, and LB had Beastmaster. Beastmaster had Druids that were pumped up Bloodmage was upgrading. Anyone who's played as Panda knows he is pure hero. Right when I was starting to catch up in units, I was immediately votekicked out. Obviously because I was becoming a challenge. It's in those situations where it was abused.

Re: Vote Kick

IT shouldn't be taken out.

Yea sometimes its abused. What isn't?

Guns are dangerous, we use them for safety and hunting, if someone goes out and kills people with it, should the government take away all our rights to carry weapons and be safe? Or toss them because some abuse it?

Re: Vote Kick

You are going way off topic. You must be one of the players who hates to lose. Or hates to see other people playing good. What's your battle.net acct name?

Re: Vote Kick

Um no, I'm right on topic, you apparently can't see when someones making a example. Including a relevant example to my point, I use them all the time.

Hate to lose? Are you even reading my posts? I don't bitch and moan about losing, sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, I finish a game, I dont pm the user yelling at them, I go to the next game with a fresh face.

Just because a a low few abuse the system doesn't mean the system should be taken out, and from what I've seen, its done more good then bad. Though I do agree with shockers point, it should be a 2/3 vote, I didn't know it wasn't that already xD.

Re: Vote Kick

You can't compare a gun to votekick. You can compare votekick to discrimination.

Re: Vote Kick

Its a relevant example if you bothered to read it.

I wasn't comparing a gun to votekick, I was making a example thats the same concept to what im getting at with votekick

Re: Vote Kick

That votekick is like a gun? If you're annoyed with someone, you just pull that votekick trigger and it makes everything go away? I already know how you feel about it, I'm sure you've used it in the past to get rid of some competition.

Re: Vote Kick

Um. No. You apparantly didn't understand my example, I'm not comparing, I was using things very unrelated, but the concept the of example is the same as the issue. Same concept.

Now back on topic, Just because a couple abuse it doesnt mean it should be gotten rid of. I see it very often help get rid of laggers so people dont sit around forever. Once in a while its abused, but what isnt?

Re: Vote Kick

It's actually underused in my opinion. Unfortunately, most of the people on Bnet are too incompetent to realize the proper command to vote even if they are sentient enough to have an opinion on whether the person in question should be kicked.

Re: Vote Kick

Can you make a rule that everybody who lods with less then e.g. 25kb/s will be autokicked?
Sometime there is sb who need 10 min to download the the map. And make the other wait.

Tbh, this feature is pretty useless, harassers are almost always those who are getting owned.
