I think we should have a way of getting our points back for when we lag out, but with restrictions. For example, if you crushed ur opponents army and were safely winning, then you get it back, but if you were the one behind, you don't. Just provide the replay. And let the mods give appropriate points out. Just my thought, as I am pretty sure its aggravating for everyone. I write this right after I crushed someone 100 points over me and lagged out.

Yeah, it's frustrating
But it's also frustrating for your opponent to be forced to play such a laggy game, and it's frustrating to lose to someone who was lagging and really should have been lagged out and dq'd.

It goes both ways. I personally think the lagouts should be harsher and triggered by less lag, because I've lost way too many games due to the opponent having atrocious lag when the game was not only impossible to enjoy but I knew this person would have lost if they weren't lagging so much.

Besides, the elo system makes regaining elo easy if your skill level is higher than your elo, so it's not a huge deal till you hit such high ranks you can't get matches.

Well they could at least make the lagout time longer. Like 20 seconds.
And yeah, my points were all eaten by a bug, recently, and I have been trying to get my top 50 (dm) spot back, 1 point at a time, but then I lagged out. The game was not laggy. I just started getting the lag and warning sign all of a sudden, then I lagged out. I should've got a +20 in around 1 minute, but I got a -13. It takes all my self control not to punch the screen when this happens. And there are so many lagouts that happen when you destroy the opponent's statue. There are far less active players for the dm top 100 than the normal top 100. There is no one to farm off of, that's why we should be redeemed. It would cause no harm at all. And maybe increase se's popularity, as frequent lag for new players cause them to be judgmental and quit the game.

ps. idk what elo is

Are you serious? Make the lagout timer longer? Just make sure you don't lag. And Top 50 DM is ezpz anyway (even with crappy Order) so you'll get it back fine.

ELO = Rating System

There IS a lagout timer of 20 secs o close to.
It starts from a lower value when you've been lagging loads already.

Also, if the statue destruction animation causes you lag then you're probably playing on a toaster.

lmao

If possible, I hope the lagout timer to be 5 seconds, or 3 seconds. It is always funny to see a player over 1000 ping, who never lag out for tons of matches. LOL

Last time I (as 2400-2500) played against a 1500, who lagged with 1900 ping
Every of my movement and command took 10 seconds to load and he did not even lag out, I ended up playing that match for 40 minutes to giant mass in order to win that game. It is just ridiculous to think more on the laggy side instead of the non-laggy side.

I understand most of the time laggy is not the fault of the players, because some of them have poor internet and computer, and they have no chance to make it smooth.
But, it is their responsibility to try to minimize their lag before the game, for the fairness of the game.

It is much more unfair to the non-laggy player to laggy player, because non-laggy player has better internet, they prepare more, they want to play in fair environment, but they end up losing because they don't adapt to lag.
I saw many laggy players said "lag is fair for both players" , and up till now I still strongly disagree on this comment. Because on the side of laggy players, most of their games they played were laggy ones, they had more experience in laggy matches and performed better. But for non-laggy players, they were forced to play in disadvantage starting from early game, especially for order players in short map, the more laggy, the more hard to rank. I had at least lose more than 300 matches to laggy players in short map who had rating at least 400 lower than me, and had obviously worse skill than me. I did not even remember how many times I was forced to turtle and changed my gamestyle in order to suit the lag games.
And also because of this reason, many top players quit this game..... and I once did that as well.

Because we need more rating inflation.

I heard Reisen once say "300-1000 ping is adjustable" (aka it's fine) yeah...
