You played so good against BrownTrout and SMW, that 45 minutes after the game ended BrownTrout is still raging and kicking everybody from the lobby who joins =)

I can only imagine you guys played awesome! Keep up the good work!

I think you meant for this to be put into of topic? Because I don't understand the point of this

Point is, i don't wanna bitch about it, and there's nothing there can be done about it, since there is no control of the lobby.

So i'm just trying to look at the positive side here =)

But i think he stopped, i joined a lobby and he wasn't there.

Make a new lobby and become a lobby host.

Doesn't work, because new players automaticly join the oldest lobby created.

Effectively it stops the game from beeing played, until that lobby either fills up(so new players go the the next oldest lobby) , everybody in that lobby leaves, the game starts, or a new version of MA is uploaded.

[edit reason] I wanna get all scientific about the possibilites

The current issue with Blizzard's lobby setup is that it really helps griefers stop games from starting.

There are those who kick players from lobbies, and since you auto-join the oldest lobby, most people will be joining the one hosted by someone who is kicking. You can try to make your own lobby, but the difficulty there is that your only hope is to message people directly or advertise in arcade chat.

I don't think they realize this however, even though it's a widely known issue in the Arcade community. Countless games have suffered from losses in popularity simply due to the ridiculous things that blizz has allowed to happen to the in-game lobby.

In theory, someone could completely halt all games on Arcade being played by simply creating a large number of smurfs, controlling the top 5-6 lobbies of each game, and writing a macro to ensure that each host isn't kicked for being AFK.



edit: Blizz has confirmed that the lack of auto-start is a bug.

Thank you for this idea

Sadly I'm not the first person with it

BrownTrout always kicks players better than him from loby and dodges better players than him even when hes in a party and quits if the game starts before he can dodge.

BrownTrout is #1 scrub

Raging is never good

and I do get quite pissed when BT starts kicking people.. its infuriating
