Why did dodging get taken out?

I just got 4 placement games in a row where I was matched with Levels 2-22 as a level 50. Idk what the other team’s ranks were, but it felt like they were partied up because they all knew what they were doing.

One game a guy was AFK…:expressionless:
Next one, a guy quit early after sitting at his base for 8 minutes and woke up to a scarab on his doorstep…:expressionless:
Then I get rushed by flamers(could’ve taken this out easily). One teammate quits because a Jerome has TFH Jackrabbits and his pretty much slaughtering everything and my other teammate gets roflstomped by said Jerome and Marines.

That same -Yoinking!- game, I got lagged into the future at the 0:02 second mark. For some reason, the game froze for 8 seconds in the real world but I skipped like double that in the game. Like WTF​:expressionless::expressionless::expressionless:!!! Both of my teammates were on their 3rd building slot and I was still halfway through my first…

Because dodging is fundamentally bad, I really don’t see a downside to it being gone.

To be honest you’re not supposed to dodge in the first place. I understand the frustration though with having bad teammates. If teammates can’t kill Heroic AI they most likely can’t beat real people.

Just got another AFK for my 5th game😐

Thank God 2 guys disconnected the next game on the enemy team.

Just had a game where I got matched with a lvl 17 and 21(?) while the other team had 3 lvl 50’s😑

Literally the 3rd time that this has happened in my 7 placement matches. They made Serina’s Cryo-Flamers seem OP. My teammate that got rushed was doing god knows and was pinging like crazy for me to help…

That’s the reason why I mostly play 1vs1, I hated team games in Halo Wars 1, I hate them in 2. I wouldn’t mind playing with the forum though but randoms…man…

Because dodging was a legitimate problem that exploited the system to artificially inflate your MMR. Lots of players abused it, and it needed to be fixed.

I never understood why people would do placement matches with randoms. I prefer team games by far but I can’t trust randoms, so I only play ranked 3s and 2s with friends. When playing solo I go 1s or team war. Occasionally I find someone decent to try ranked with.

If you solo queue 3’s then expect bad teammates.
Do you dodge when enemy team is too weak?
I don’t think so.

No, but I do give them waaaay more leeway. I’ve lost several games to guys ranked like 15 or lower because I’ve been TOO kind.

Madara said it best: “What adult would go all out against mere children?”

An efficient tactician.

you’re just another glitch in the system :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: umad they patch your way up the leaderboard

No. I’m pissed that they made it impossible for me to get to Diamond without finding a squad…

Coming from the player who is notorious for boosting and dodging to get up on the leaderboard, lol.

Because my friends avoid me :slight_smile:

Because if you wanted to pick and choose who you are playing with and against you should play custom games.
