The Rage Quitting Thread

That’s bad religion to be spreading.

You do lose points when you get RQ’d on. We shouldn’t be lying and saying “I lost, so therefore I can’t blame it on RQs at all.” Lets be literal for a second.

You play, you rightfully win and you get RQ’d on. By default you just EARNED those points if that person does not RQ. Ergo that means something unoridnary happened and should not even exist in the game. It’s an error, which means you lost points you just gained.

Now, lets say this guy earned what could be 800 worth of points to RQ and regardless he loses 900 anyways. He’d still have 2800 just off RQs that shouldn’t have happened.

That alone changes the perspective on your progression. Let alone the fact that your potential matchups base themselves off timing (however brief the time is you get out a previous matchup.). So that means fights he could’ve lost would’ve probably never even came to be if that person didn’t RQ and it gave him a few extra seconds to collect those points and then match up with a completely different person after his normal close out.

So with that said, you do lose points from being quit on and we should stop spreading this belief like it’s not a legitimate issue for people who really want to gain and go up with points. this not about our personal agendas where we say “GET GUD” or “It’s just a game”, cuz everyone values certain qualities of the game for a different reason. So this is theirs and they have a legitimate right to get mad about this. Even if some of us can just shrug it off, keep playing and know at the end of the day we’ll get those points back anyways.

all these 7k+ LP RQtters these days ffs
played 20 games today and already five 7k+ LP RQtters
all these ppl need an 1 month ban + reset their points to 0
at this point I can’t say it otherwise because it’s pretty much fact that these ppl deserve this kind of punishment for keep doing this

At rookie level as long as you get the win it’s not a ‘shitty fight’ though. I realize that as you spend more time playing the game, gaining experience along the way; your execution, anti-airing, poking, strategy and muscle memory all improve to the point your matches start looking calculated and well executed. Until then, at rookie/bronze level the best you can do is rack up as many wins as possible in any way you can, study your losses and work on the parts of your game that need attention; slowly improving along the way. Play as many ranked matches as you can until you hit a skill ceiling and consequently start losing repeatedly; study your losses, hit the lab, improve your game again; then play ranked until you start losing again, rinse and repeat. At rookie level it’s expected that some people will actually be rookies on the path to improving their game, with this in mind I think a ‘shitty fight’ for a rookie would be one they lose, not win. As for the ‘horrible scrubs’ thing, well; there’s no need for that really is there; lighten up a bit.

What you are saying is bad religion in some way as well.

What I meant by what I said is that his point total before any RQ doesn’t decrease because of a RQ; his point total GOES DOWN DUE TO LOSSES. I agree that it doesn’t GO UP because he/she doesn’t get the points that he/she earned, but my initial point was that he/she can still make strides to progress up in the ranks by NOT LOSING LEGIT GAMES.

Also your point of…

“Let alone the fact that your potential matchups base themselves off timing (however brief the time is you get out a previous matchup.). So that means fights he could’ve lost would’ve probably never even came to be if that person didn’t RQ and it gave him a few extra seconds to collect those points and then match up with a completely different person after his normal close out.”

… is just plain ridiculous. THAT point is the bad religion you’re spreading. You can NEVER blame a RQ for a legitimate loss you take to someone who played you fairly and beat you. Regardless of timing due to RQs affecting your next matchup, IT IS YOUR FAULT for losing that matchup.

Also, you logic can go both ways. A skewed timing due to a RQ in his/her last match may have set him/her up for an easier opponent, rather than if that person DIDNT RQ and he/she would have been matched up with a more difficult opponent.

I also agree that RQs are tough for people who want to rank up, but lets not get to the pathetic point where we are blaming OUR OWN LEGITIMATE LOSSES on RQs that have nothing to do with subsequent games. Until CAPCOM gets their shit together, the best thing we can do is to make sure WE DONT LOSE in order to keep our points from dropping.

So he HAS videos and he’s still coming in with heresay giving ammo to ragequitters against this thread? Great

This makes no sense. I would easily have 3k more points if ragequitting had been addressed.

You can’t blame ragequitters for your losses, but you can blame them for your loss of points.
Theoretically, if you win 50% of your matches your rank shouldn’t raise or decrease. If you add rage quitters to the equation you still win 50% of the time, but you gain your points only 50% - ragequit% of the time

Before selling my copy of SFV (i was quick so i didn’t lose that much money)…
I was stuck at ultra silver where i would play alot and win alot , but where i would get ragequit upon
and then ocassionally lose to some really good player / character i do not know how 2 play the matchup… and it would continue in a endless loop like that. +0 -0

What about that “makes no sense”?

When someone RQs against you, yes your points don’t increase, but that RQ DOES NOT LOWER THE AMOUNT OF POINTS YOU HAD BEFORE THE MATCH.

CFN = ERamirez - Birdie, Platinum rank.

Beats me first match. Got him on the second and course ragequit.

I don’t think you have any understanding whatsoever of how Ranked points/matchmaking work.

Such a simple mind you have.

  1. You quoted the wrong guy
  2. It’s a simplification for the sake of the discussion

Critique the logic, not the example

I think one of the issues with rage quitting being so rampant is that it’s a vicious circle. You have people who habitually rage quit, which leads to people who feel cheated out of their points to finally start rage quitting because they think they “deserve it” for being rage quit on, which in turn fosters a mentality of “everyone does it, so it’s fine” and “all high rankers do it”. Hell, we have some pretty prominent streamers (besides LTG) who rage quit on stream. I feel like it’s starting to snowball and Capcom should probably crack down excessively hard soon, before it gets so widespread no amount of punishment will keep people from doing it.

Incidentally, this is why I refuse to ever quit out on principle, even if my opponent’s so jittery it’s like I’m playing Michael J. Fox. It’s a slippery slope paved with salt. It starts with “justified” rage quitting over connections or whatever, and soon it’s because I dropped a combo due to lag, and after that I’m just deluding myself into thinking I’m not pressing buttons when I’m hammering jab. I’d like to think that deep down, people who rage quit are way saltier than people who get rage quit on, and at least that way I can keep my sodium levels in check by pretending I have the moral high ground.

Also, Densetchu a fuck. Seriously, I’ve faced the dude several times (each with him having ranked up, mind you) and his Cammy is the worst example of babby’s first rushdown if you haven’t figured out proper mix-ups. Spin knuckle oki cross-up. Cannonball from half screen to try to bait out a reaction. After a single round, he’s like an open book. That’s when he starts throwing out the random supers and unsafe wake-up stuff because he has no idea what to do when his rushdown gets stopped by jabs. And then he quits when it’s obvious he’s not going to win against the solid counter-strategy of block and jab. If you’re going to rank up, at least put in some token effort to level up your game with it. I’m not even mad, just disappointed. What’s the point of playing the game if you don’t get any better at it? I suck balls, but at least I think I suck fewer balls than I used to. Like if I used to suck an entire bag full of balls, I’m only casually slurping on a handful of balls now. Maybe one day I’ll just have the one pair in my mouth.

for the first time since long, today I looked through the current top 100 of the leaderboards and what do I see? 75 out of the current top 100 players are cheaters, RQtter frauds or bots.
prob. even more because 75 of these players Ido know / I am 100% sure they are not legit and I can rek them 10-0 easily.

ffs

If a dood has the word “dildo” in his name den there’s a 99% chance dey ragequit.

Yep. I want to give the new GG a try, but I’m worried that anyone who plays it who also played SFV will now rage quit in every game they play. I remember a time when I could play 30 matches in a game without being rage quit on. Memories. :frowning:

While I do think there’s nothing wrong in leaving laggy game early on because it’s just a waste of time for both parties, that’s a rather commendable way to look at the big picture.

I’m not as strong-willed so I just stay away from ranked, period.
