@Lyte: Collective Punishment is wrong!!!

So i understand that leavers are put into a Low Priority Queue. That's fine, i agree with that. I dont agree with the execution, however. I just queued with someone in a LPQ and this message pops up, telling me about abandoning matches etc. So fine, my team gets placed in LPQ but why cant we talk while we are waiting? the only way is to wait it out or push the "Leave Queue Button"?!? That is so wrong because it punishes me. You are punishing by association.

Can't you see that that is not right?!?

You can talk......... you just have to not be on the screen that has the counter on it. The counter still counts down if you're not queued at the current time.

not true. the timer screen is in front and you cant do anything in the client. its so wrong. Why punish people queuing with a leaver? I didnt leave!

You can click the button at the bottom of the timer. and it goes away. it continues to count down while not on the screen. so you can talk in the game lobby. Even while not in Queue the timer goes down.

yeah, we did that and it restarted the counter back to 5 mins. not talking about the dodge timer here. this is the new low priority queue.

5 min for low prio? its generally 20. Anyway, yes low prio is based on Queue timer until X games played. its supposed to be an incentive to not get in the Q. Hence, its a punishment. Low prio Q's are avoidable.

I thought you meant dodging Q, which isn't always
