All the time players keep canceling competitive matches to join friends, This hurts a lot of other players. suggestion once starts the quest can no longer cancel the match, Or that there is a penalty if you cancel multiple times. As if these link imbalances weren’t enough.

Hi Impostor! I’m interested in hearing more about your suggestion regarding match cancellations.
How long do you think the penalty should be if you cancel multiple times? And do you think it should be a static penalty or should scale up with more and more cancellations?
Looking forward to your reply!

Queue Penaly OFC - progressively scaling. 5 minutes 10 minutes 30 minutes 1 hour and so on.
Well, I know this happens all the time, I’ve been on hold for 15 minutes while there are several cancellations. I believe that starting with a 15-minute penalty would reduce that a little bit.
If it is competitive and they cancel the game, I would give them a 3-day penalty in the mode.
was happening to me today all the time and i was curious why,now i see
I’ve been posting about this for weeks and have not gotten a single response. Its NOT the players cancelling. The system is broken…And you are automatically assigned a penalty even if you cancel the queue properly, then fast travel or change characters AFTER you’ve already canceled it.
seriously…I’ve been sitting here waiting for a match and received multiple cancellation for the past 30 minutes… I got furious and turn the game off… (Grrrr)

Bumping this topic.
Tried to play competitive PvP today - in last 1h I got successfully matched ONCE. 23 queue dodges in a row and another 15-streak of dodges at the moment of writing this. At ELO 1000-1100
This is big problem when there is need to get as much points as possible per week to get decent amount of experience required to progress PvP rank, especially when you are one-two steps before “Extreme”.
Please introduce following penalty system for queue dodging:
- One dodge per day is allowed without penalty but make sure there are no tricks to bypass this (like logouts, character switching, temporary offline or what else is there)
- Progressive penalty for dodging queue after 1st dodge, like 1 min, 5 min, 25 mins, 125 mins and so on. Penalty itself should guarantee character is not able to join any of PvP queues.

Exact same bug every day for me as well, at least 3 failed matches per single game found. I don’t think it’s people dodging queues, I think it’s a massive bug that’s been in the game since like February of this year. Multiple forum posts have been made, Amazon’s only response is that they “can’t replicate the issue on their end.”

I bealive it should be static, as still if you press escape during queue it will automaticly cancel the match. I made it a habbit not to ever press escape during queue but i remember how many times it happened playing different regions. I guess people don’t have much to do when i queue so they toggle between their windows opening crates, sorting eq etc. and escape is very convinient there. It also happens with enter and i accidently aborted some raids when people vote to stop and i’m in middle of writing msg with others, and enter does confirm my vote to abort the raid. So please pretty please disable this useless function -.- it pops right on center of our screen to click it anyways
This is probably bug or mm issue. I got not this problem when i play unranked, but when i want to play ranked i got the same problem There is no way to play. I can play only in rush hours my class is in silver/gold.

i think there’s also a bit of intentional match dodging in it. Call me conspiracy nuts but i’ve seen people feeding suspiciously in ranked a couple times. Diamond player doing around 100k damage for example.
Since one does’t lose rating from canceling the match, so one can arrange let’s say 5 men queueing ranked together. And if all get the match entry pop-up, they enter, otherwise one of the 5 men would cancel match, take turns until they all get entry.
At non-peak server time, it’s very likely to get multiple persons into the match, and in 3v3 it’s very easy to manipulate game (by intentionally playing bad). Effectively, you can start draining ratings from poggers.
For example, you get 2 or 3 dude on one side, and 1 dude on the other, then that 1 dude can lose the match, so in this case they drained rating. Rinse and repeat, should overall be pretty simple.
Again, i have no proof, just suggesting the possibility, tbh this should not be hard, given how limited amount of people are playing ranked, you are seeing the same faces again and again anyways.
how do you bare this? ranked is unplayable… like 1 out of 5 or sometimes 10 is actually a match… rest is cancled … how is this not fixed what the heck ?
