This has been happening to me over the last few weeks and it is growing tiresome. If you create a game then you should be prepared to play no matter who enters. You cannot get better by just playing people who are not good. If you are not willing to take on all comers then only join a game that was created by someone else who you want to play.

Also if you have created a game you should be ready to go with your team picked. It is frustrating to say the least when you enter a game and the person takes forever and doesn’t even respond to say hey I am picking my team will just be a second.

Finally to those people who create a game then just sit there and will not start the game or reply to any comments. If you are too scared to play the person who entered the game then just quit by leaving the game and save us the time.

Time is a precious commodity so if you want to play great but if you are not prepared with your team ready and ready to take on all comers then don’t ever create a game as you are just wasting other people’s time.

I agree with your sentiment but..............good luck with that.

I’ve actually have had people tell me they are bailing becaue they’ve seen my name on the leader board............it’s only getting worse.  =(

this annoys me so much, it happens to me every 5 times I play...and I’m only average at this game so my name isn’t on the leader board =/

On occasion I’ve had 20+ ‘drop-ins’ and ‘cancels’ before I could get a game......

wow that sucks

Agreed, it’s annoying waiting for someone to pick their team, but lately I’ve let it slide in hopes of someone picking the X Men

It’s also annoying when someone waits until the last second to make a basic move, like charging at the beginning

Actually its very smart and the reds shouldnt bitch about it as you guys have a choice out way more matches than blue do, we got so many newbs I am glad they stop playing people they cant win against.

So to the Anti’s dont play people who you cant beat, you can chose you you want to play bc they do the same and even worse, if you see a top 20 red then just dont play him/her.

Are.....are you serious?  ::concerned::

There’s also the issue of when you join a game, and the host leaves, and a new person joins and you start the game, it doesn’t work. That’s annoying if you don’t catch the warning, which sometimes doesn’t appear or perhaps disappears after a while

Yes Im serious, alot of reds pray on newbs and I commend the newbs to try to avoid getting smoked. I know you might instruct the new guys and others may too, but most of the time they dont learn anything out of it and they get tricked into a rematch and just get smoked again. If you cant win the game, why play? Top guys are in a different position than newbies/rookies and cant just play anyone knowing you have a chance solid chance to win. Just try to look at it from their point of view.

Also we blues can hardly get any battles and then u guys start talking about how hard it is to get battles, its way harder for us, we hardly get into the stage where one can chose his team, we get booted all the time just bc nobody accepts the game.

So anti’s dont listen to the reds just play games you know you can win or atleast avoid top 20.

Here’s an idea…

Why should you play a top 20 member or a good player

1-Can’t get better by playing those that suck

2-They can teach you

3-Help improve your terrible team

4-Offer to play again.

It happens a lot, people open games they don’t even play. It’s really annoying.

OK lets put a pin in that idea right now.

In a typical time there are about 10 ANTIs playing for every 6 PROs. Lets say for argument sake that 2 of the PROS are top 20 guys.

So, as you suggest, the ANTIs should only play the the non-top 20s so you have 4 PROS and 4 ANTIs playing, 2 PROS looking for games and 6 ANTIs twitling their thumbs.........wanna bet that at least 2 of those ANTIs still looking for games either don’t go to the forums or are as green as they get........and who will they be facing in this scenario I suppose?

By avoiding experienced players, YOU ARE FEEDING THE NEW PLAYERS TO BLOOD THIRSTY VETS!!!!!!!!

That isn’t going to help matters at all....but by all means keep thinking it will. Winning 99% of a couple fewer games helps our side more than winning even 90% of even more.

Are you sure you’re trying to help your side? ::cheeky::

Vets and experienced players are the same dude, I dont think everyone in the top 20 or below for that matter helps new guys, do you? I am not just meaning top 20, just anyone out of your league, there is also some tactics in to this game and losing a game does mean something. I am talking about the <50 wins green green guys, not about +70 0r +50. I am not addressing all anti just those who are really new in the game, they should stick to their own league or slightly better, not go against the top dogs immediately.

1-Can’t get better by playing those that suck

4-Offer to play again.

1.Thats the thing you also suck, so you will get better if you play someone that sucks equally or just isnt way too good for you.

2.they CAN teach you, but not all of them do.

3.How? Those guys will beat you with every team you got, there is just a way too big difference in power.

4.So they can kick your ass again? How does that help?

Every noob I play that will talk, is given a crash course in CWO.  Tips, teams setups, anything.  I guarantee that I have helped teach more ANTI players how to play then any ANTI player themselves.  If you are more worried about 1 battle on 1 hex then fine tell them to dodge us top pro’s, but they will just lose 15 more games vs mediocre players until they figure out how to fusion or learn different ranges on the heroes.  Don’t even pretend that the “noob tips” forum posts do them justice because I know the majority of noobs don’t even know the forums exist.

Yeah Eon, with you it will remain only 1 battle on 1 hex, good argument.

The other thing is only Reds, mostly vets, have posted here until now. Ofcourse you aint gonna agree with me.

I am not thinking Im giving noob tips to every noob, just to the ones that visit this thread, If you know this thread aint gonna reach out why make the thread then, it works both ways. I aint gonna do any harm by telling them something that they are already doing apparently otherwise this thread wouldnt be opened, I didnt open a thread saying they should avoid them, I am just putting sence to their actions, I am not even top Anti but I also get annoyed by the same thing, but I cant do anything about it and I find it irritating that reds open this and whine bc you guys get to choose from way more battles than us, so its even more annoying for us so be glad you atleast get matches.
