Deserter's Penalty For Conceding On The Turn I Would Lose ANYWAY

randconfig

EDIT: Sorry for original rant 😅

Basically, was 5+ minutes into the match, 6+ turns, my opponent had 52 prestige with a deck of near perfect cards from the best RNG i could imagine, and I had a deck of like basic gold coins and I was only at 22 prestige, so when it was my turn, since he was over 40 prestige, I had to match him, but all my cards I drew were treasury 1g and 2g cards, so there was no way I could catch up. So to save time, pressed esc and chose to concede, as again no way I could win so the game was over when I ended my turn anyway. Well this resulted in a 10 minute deserters penalty, and while I'm not sure, I think it also negatively impacted my rank score.

With that in mind, I really wish the devs would make adjustments to the game to not penalize players for conceding that far into the game instead of sitting through animations knowing there's nothing more you can do to win.



This is actually so frustrating, WHY CAN I NOT JUST CONCEDE WHEN ITS CLEAR I LOST THE GAME???

There's no excuse, the match was over 6+ rounds in, my opponent had 52 prestige and I just had 22 prestiege, so during the draw animation, I saw all my cards were single gold cards and knew it was over, so instead of sitting through the stupid animation, I pressed esc and conceded, PLEASE CHANGE THIS SO I DONT GET PENALIZED FOR ACCEPTING DEFEAT WHEN I AM DEFEATED

Others and myself advocate since the time ToT was released to at least have no time penalty on conceding for casual play.

For ranked I can understand.

For casual there is simply no reasonable justification for the existance of that time penalty given that you already don't get a single reward when conceding while you get one when you lose.

And the ridiculous part is that you can even easily circumvent it by just relogging with another character which makes it apart from the inconvenience to relog on another character just actually obsolete. I cannot fathom why it is still there.

Yep, still don't know why conceding the victory give you a penalty ...

Especially in such a bad game where snowballing is a very common thing and often happen. It's not that hard to foresee when you're totally gonna lose.

It's even in the name "Conceding", it means what it means ... and you have a message asking if you're sure and all of that.
It's not like you're just mindlessly closing the game in a hurry and ruining anything to anyone as the other player wins ...
