Just lost a game (my promotion into Gold) because our most fed member dc'd
So tell me why can't we have a pause function in this game? And don't give me the it can be abused bullshit. Dota 2 has a pause function. Can it be abused? Yes it can, but it overall does more good than bad. It ensures players time to get back into the game should they ever dc. And if the player rage quit? Then he loses a shit ton of mmr while the other members of the team are safe to leave the game.
Yeah yeah blah blah "people will just get into groups and have one guy quit if things go bad." That's not an excuse to not have a pause function. If you don't want that then make the pause function exclusive to solo queue and then people won't have an incentive to abuse it.
I don't get why we can't have that? Why can't we have a way to ensure we don't lose the game just because someone was unfortunate enough to have his internet killed in the middle of the game? What's so freaking hard about implementing it? I'm fine with losing if I get outplayed, but if I lose because the enemy team had enough time to close the gold deficit, then that's when I have a problem.
