Kicking

from Demigod Forums

Why do you even get the chance to kick other players that are connecting to a PANTHEON/SKIRMISH game?

Im tired of watching the games of players in the top 20 where they actually fight NO ONE with no teammate at all or no enemies, or even searching for a game for 20 minutes+ and whenever you find one youll just get the "you've been kicked" dialogue

 

so again... why do you even give the chance to a player to kick another one in a Ranked game... its just retarded

Its because of those people who take hours to connect to anyone. I've been connected to two of the three players in the game, and after five to ten minutes the third person still hasn't connected at all.


Though usually when I kick someone I crash to the desktop, so I end up just leaving the connection attempt and find something else.

Ha!  I didn't even realize that.  Well no wonder those two are so high on the ladder, they always play together.  What a coincidence.  Just one more reason to disregard the ladder.

More seriously though, the kicking is annoying.  It should be put on a timer, and if you can't connect wiithin a reasonable amount of time (at the moment, that's like... a minute or two), you can choose to kick them.

I would agree with this if kicking then found another player to replace the kicked player, but this is not the case.  Right now kicking a player removed the player from the game and is not even replaced by an AI (which arguably would be worse).  Personally if the game doesn't replace a kicked player with a new player the game should at least remove everyone from the game so we do not have these imbalanced 2v1 or even 2v0 games.

Just hit cancel and start another search for a new game, kicking shouldn't be an option in pantheon or skrimish.

This is what I do currently; but the problem is there are people doing this on purpose so they can get a bunch of free wins.  That's why I think as soon as someone gets kicked or leaves the game should either replace them or terminate the current game.  Otherwise we will have people abusing the system.
