Ultimately, this would be bad for the game. if everyone was allowed to leave (like it currently is now) without any sort of punishment, it would create bad gameplay environment. THis is a multiplayer game where people queue and play matches together. Leaving is especially damaging in team games, where one person leaving is basically a gg. If we used your logic, then we would have poeple leaving all over the place for whatever reason (founded and unfounded). THis would ultimately create a very bad playerbase

Completely agree

I only disagree with punishment being an automatic option.

For example.
If we had a choice to select option, to wait 10-15 min for best balanced game.

Choice to elect to leave game at the start if 4 out of 8 players want to leave because of lagg (big issue for me, Australia)\

If 3 out of 4 people vote to surrender, game stops. Right now one person can decide to piss off everyone else.

etc.

There are a lot of ways to try to make the game enjoyable for everyone, rather then punish leavers.
They (me included) leave for a reason

Automatch can be a lot better. But punishing people for having bad time playing a game is wrong in my opinion.

then don't play automatch. I still stick around in a competitive CS GO match even we/I get pounded. you know what you are getting into. don't act like some vicious trap has been sprung without you knowing and that you are a victim. don't play random auto match if you think its ok to punish the whole team just because you find it unworthy to keep playing.

I am all for punishing leavers like in CS GO, although not to that extreme.

Sure I could do that, or I could tell you this:

Then don't play random automatch if you cannot handle people leaving the match they don't enjoy. Don't act as if some sort of vicious trap has been sprang for you. You know what you are getting into when you click that random automatch button.
Don't play the random automatch if you think it's ok to punish people by ruining their scarce play time, just because you think your 'fun time' is more valuable then theirs.

See, you can always look at things from different perspective.

I know you will disagree so I will leave you with paradox of what you are saying.

'You believe that people should be punished for leaving the game they don't enjoy because it ruins your enjoyment'

In either case, when I do have time to play I will try to find the game thats enjoyable for me. End of discussion on that issue.
I am sorry for people that feel I ruined their time but they are also ruining my time.
I don't accuse or blame them for being noob, lagging the game, etc. Nor asking for them to be punished because they were thrown into random game with random players, just like myself.

I blame Relic for not allowing me to influence parameters of game I am thrown into.
I would rather not play, then play shit unbalanced/laggy game. Regardless of wining or lossing

No, instead it had all those "noobs only!!!1!1!" lobbies always started by vets looking for an easy game

It took 12 seconds to check player stats, you had to be really stupid not to recognize 'noob bash players' and games

For wast majority of players automatch team game = do not take seriously. Whole lot of people from COH, refuse to play COH2 for that particular reason, random Automatch.

You need 50,000 players online to have any chance of having reasonably balanced games, and there is little chance of RTS game ever achieving that.

You can start with me, Any sort of punishment for leaving shit games will result in me quitting playing all together. I just don't want to waste my time on shit random automatch game. End of story
There are quite a lot of people who will do the same

Too bad that was ONLY and SPECIFICALLY for the wehr.
All other armies were about who can blob more and faster while spamming automatic weapon upgrades.

Guess what? Not much have change since, at least for axis factions, except now even wehr have powerful automatic infantry weapons and allied blobs are nothing like coh1 bar rifles or brits as a whole.

All of what you miss so much is in coh2 for a long time already and there is one of two issues:

Severe case of denial about CoH2.
Severe case of pink glasses of nostalgia.

I'll disagree there with you...

COH2 is COH/OF on steroids, with all the cheesy units, abilities and faction designs multiplied and made worse.
For example. KV8= faster, stronger, deadlier and more impact flame churchill
120 mm mortar = Brit emplacement at least couldn't move
Elephant = it was 10 times easier to flank and kill Marder or Firefly
Call in King Tiger? how about Vet 3 Elite tiger that can virtually give victory on its own.
PE assault grens? how about blob that can take on anything, can reach vet5 and doesn't need to retreat far away?
Straffing run, V1, Defensive barrage. One click abilities. all stronger, longer lasting, easier to use and more impactfull. Did I mention way more of one click = instant hero abilities?
Virtually indestructible super tanks that can only be fought off with another super tank?
etc, etc...

OF was far more strategic and less cheesy to play than COH2

VCOH is dead and things that made VCOH RTS of the year, getting raving reviews and loyal fan base over 7 years have NOT been included in COH2.

That is why COH2 isn't getting raving reviews, awards nor large loyal fanbase

I think you are wearing pink glasses when looking at COH2 and comparing it with VCOH or even OF.

I won't say this game is complete sh.. but it's no COH

'Play with random faction' button is clearly unnecessary.

Relic has provided us with fantastic multiplayer features and we just need to learn to use properly.
Also Relic is working on features that we really want, we just don't realize it yet because we haven't seen them yet.
Multiplayer is working just fine, and we've been asking for 'Random button' for 2 and half years.
That's just rude, stop it.
If it's needed Relic would implement it, because it cannot be that hard.
