There should be a penalty for people resigning. I had like 3-4 players constantly AFK and when we had the chance to win all resigned. It was me and 1-2 AFK guys and 2 more against the whole other team.

I suggest we remove some ELO from players who early resign individually or 1-2 hours ban on the big team's room. This game is a clear example where we could have won if everybody was online and playing

It wasn't the DRP it was 2 fucking singus made instead of expand on a map that's typically won by expand.
I started DRP way later when it was already kinda over.

I instantly went ground with heavy tanks after first singu (and it took 1 minute or max 2...). Once people started to lose or to resign we had 50% DRP. Can I ask why everybody assisted your tactic instead of expanding?

I bet this will make people early resign more.

Harsh but it would probably work.

Don't touch shines.

1. the majority of games ends with resign. some do early.
2. not being able to resign when you want will prevent some people from even entering a game.
3. i guess no one of the resigned players saw the drp. most people only look at their tiny spot of the map and nowhere else. yes YOU might have seen a way to win this, but the others didn`t.
4. you can complain about getting a team of early-resigners, i guess a team of storage-spammers would be fine then? after all they are playing.

Another infuriating example of a game ruined by resignateers

We had 4 berthas and initally we even held 75% of the map but because half of team resigned we had nobody to hold front lines. Lost ofc.

Ok...so I made a mistake with the singu rush. But why I constantly had 4-5 commanders at the end of the game. It seems that my team didn't actually resign, they just ALT+TAB and gave me everything to micro...at least 50% of the front.

I agree that some of my teammates did an awesome job at bombing ( TechAUmNu ) and holding the left side of the map (don't remember exactly who it was) and I thank them for it. But for the rest of the team? Lu5ck as a decent player complained about singu rush while he made moho early game.

At some point, somebody made a Paladin rush exactly when we were losing the game and seriously? (won't watch the replay because I don't want to point fingers).

At the end of this game, there was just dirtbag spam, a merlin, and a shielded ball that were the only problem in making us win/lose. If we had the chance to counter those things (and we had a scorpion on the battlefield) the game was ours. I couldn't micro 4 commanders at the same time and hold the front from all points. It's just too much for a single player...

Big teams room a few years ago was decent, it was not perfect but you could rely on somebody to hold the ground (even a brown star). Now they just resign the moment they lose the factory, they never ask for a constructor, they never try to micro something in winning the game and most of the time they lose commander or rush missile silo in their base.
I mean it's ok to be like this but they don't even try to see the full view of the map and what's going on.

So my suggestion is:
1. Some kind of penalty for early resigners and resigners in general (I am talking here about individual resigning and not the team vote resign). Maybe 1-2 hours ban?
2. Some kind of penalty for AFK people (those that intentionally alt+tab and go watch movies while team builds their QUE). No metal income for some minutes while in-game?
3. Heavy penalty for resigning vote abusers (we have some example when even Manu12 lost a game because some players trolled him with resign)
4. No ELO for all the resigners if that specific team wins the match (this way we remove the Firepluk style resign and their ELO inflation.

Also is there a way to remove commander metal income? having 4 commanders or even 2-3 will result in a lot of metal income lost. Isn't there any way to change this ...to make commanders not give metal income :(?

Singu rushers had total metal income a bit more than the expanders for like 1% of the whole game(I assume this includes metal overdrive, which singu people had almost double more, but that didnt help). Few moments at minute 8 ish and minute 12 ish total metal income went over the other guys line.

If you penalize players for resigning they will simply start going afk instead ^_^
