You had plenty of time to adjust heading and speed. Again, the other player is at fault but so are you from your screen shots. Oh and N&S. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure but something seriously needs to be done. The reduction of team torp damage does nothing but allow people like this to not learn because now instead of killing me with 2 torps he just leaves me useless with no repair to get picked off by enemy ships. Either make punishment for people like this in ranked ques extremely harsh or i dont know. I think tkrs in ranked que should get a 24hr ban from ranked for first offense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't aware they were pulled from replay. Carry on. People make mistakes, I've been torped multiple times by allies, all you can really do is shrug it off and move on.

My point is if you are going to que up in rank que's(whats supposed to be a competitive more professional que'ing arena) YOUR SKILL LEVEL SHOULD BE WAY ABOVE MAKING MISTAKES LIKE TORPING FRIENDLIES ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR THAT Edited January 15, 2016 by RockaholicRaven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are systems in place to automatically deal with TKers (I think escalating eventually to a perma-ban? But I'm not sure if they ever went live with that last part). Sending replays to support can sometimes do something, if it looks like an intentional TK. That's the hard part, though... for a system to tell what's done on purpose and what was just a very bad accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(But still, making the friendly damage restrictions more stringent in ranked... doesn't seem like a bad idea to me, since it's a higher level of play).

1,013 Batwingsix Alpha Tester 2,716 posts 4,076 battles Report post #19 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) At least you had a 46%'er... last night I had a 1k game plus 32% Winrate on my team, rest were 35-45%. (yes, after that retarded of a game I had to go look them up....) I was the only person on the team who does over 20k damage average... and they are in ranked, well, they are almost all that is in ranked now since the last season guys already ranked out again or aren't bothering this season. A few examples excluding names of course and damage rounded to the nearest 1,000th. Battles: 858 WR: 39% Average Damage: 18,000 - Derpitz Battles: 243 WR: 46% Average Damage: 22,000 - Atago Battles: 2140 WR: 41% Average Damage: 14,000 - North Carolina Battles: 116 WR: 43% Average Damage: 21,000 - Atlanta Battles: 1152 WR: 31% Average Damage: 14,000 - Atago This is why ranked is nothing more than a smaller Random. There is nothing "Competitive" or skill based about it, it is who has the proper tier and can count to potato can play Edited January 15, 2016 by Batwingsix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
854 TheStarSlayer Members, Beta Testers 1,591 posts 2,659 battles Report post #20 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Stupid mistakes like that are bound to happen, its annoying when it occurs but not worth getting an ulcer over. The most reprehensible crap I've seen was last season an enemy Kongo intentionally wedged his ship into the A9 corner on New Dawn the entire match and left his team to die with only one active battlewagon. Not even AFK, he started shooting back when we finally found him at the end of the match. Making dumb mistakes is one thing, being a craven cur intentionally trying to ride your way up the rankings without engaging is a whole nother level of messed up.
