Hey everyone

Like you I sometimes get very fustrated waiting for everyone to Tab, expecially in a large group as it takes a very long time

My suggestion (sorry if there has already been one) is to give the Hoster the ability to start the game when he/she sees fit

Though this will be a bit edgy at times, it would save alot of wait time when everythings set and the whole 80 players is just waiting for someone whos AFK

I'm with TNF and the other guys on this one, it's a ridiculous idea. Games are already too easily stacked. Why make it even easier for this sort of game rigging to damage the playability of a game?

I do not like this idea personally as i belive it will lead to forced stack games.
if someone is AFK, it's the hosts responsibility to ban them from the room and rebalance.

Most often, for me, i use my tab key as a signal to the host that either I think the room is balanced or that i trust that the host will balance (usually the higher the level of the host the better they are at balancing a room).

If a room is taking too long to balance, just leave and find another room.

Hope this helps

well, i personally dont tab when i see a stacked game (though i ALWAYS tab before going afk), this is a poor suggestion in my eyes, there are enough stackers as it is
