I hate getting a loss because I get tired of waiting for a match, cancel out, and then get matched with someone just as I'm leaving. I understand getting a loss for leaving an active game in progress, but getting a loss before the match even starts is absurd and is a serious usability bug.

And is there really no way to distinguish between someone deliberately quitting a game in progress and a network connection error?

I think you have been reading my mind.

This happened four times today as I was waiting for a speedball opponent. I wanted to throw my phone against the wall repeatedly. (But I wouldn't be able to pry it off of my fingers )

With the whole disconnecting thing, I feel you bro. That level 60 I was going against probably thought I wimped out because I disconnected the two times I played him/her.

Trueee.
I hate that shiiiettt.

that's been bugging me a lot more lately now that I'm trying to raise my % cuz one loss phases it more than a couple wins. makes it a struggle for every 1%

Interesting. Recently, this situation happened, but instead of getting a loss, my cancel was ignored and I got matched. Maybe it was the late timing of my cancel, but as long as I didn't get a cheap loss, I'm very happy.

I hate that, it dropped me down to 87% from that and a disconnect or two

Same here lol.

I have at least 50+ undeserved losses due to multiple reasons, (d\c, phone call, text, accidently hitting the back button or home button, low battery message lol, etc.

But hey, at least this game doesn't reward early quitters lol

[Rudeboi]

this is a great point!!
i hope they fix this in cestos 2. I do the same thing and i've gotten so many losses because i get tired of waiting for a challenger and i press back as soon as someone joins.
Da_Champ is impatient...

In addition to the main point, is there no way to find out if a player got disconnected due to a bad net connection or if he wilfully disconnected? I hate having so many losses awarded to me because of a flaky connection.

[moonfish]

There is no way to find out how a person disconnected. There is a way to see if someone hit the 'back' button instead of losing their connection but it's useless to distinguish between the two.

If a system was made to distinguish between these two situations, it would be abusable. Someone could reset their router or modem right before they are losing, faking a lost connection.
And even if you do assume that everyone's going to be a gentleman about it... what about people who accidentally hit the 'back' button?

Go sleep on that for a while and do tell if you have a solution that's better than the current situation.
