If you get rid of the dishonorable penalty more and more people will quit every time they don't get a monk (which is about 90% for me). It would make RA even more unplayable than it already is.

were you not here pre-dishoner penalty....? 7/10 time in RA a player would leave before the match started because he or she wasn't satisfied with the random team. Adding a 5 min penalty makes people play the random team out.

Dishonorable penalty is a deterrent for leechers and leavers. Without it the game would be worse off. If you suffer DH then you probably deserve it LMAOROFLXDopter.

Bad example. Just Leeroy and die. Wait for Timer. Problem solved.

It works fine. Its called leave when the timer starts and everyone else gets to. If you leave the game early, you definitely deserve the penalty. Its called Random Arenas for a reason. Also, I assure you people didn't quit the game cause "Oh man, I got dishonorable. Guess its time to find new game to play"

I hate it how you get dishonorable points when you get reported for leeching, even when you're not leeching..

I don't play the random team out; I just rush in and commit suicide. I don't care if I get reported because I have two accounts to alternate from. Essentially, the dishonorable combatant system sucks because it enables abuse via players using running/tanking skills, and deny resign or kite for as long as they possibly can to cause anguish on everyone in the match.

The only fix I see is enabling the /resign function to cause balth faction to be negated, and in turn nullifying all /reports for leeching [which is known to be abused by all players in RA]. That, and forcing one monk into every random team to offer hope for every team.

I hate how you get dishonorable points for actually reporting leechers :P

The dishonorable system is a very broken one, but as people have said, it was probably worse before.

The system we have now is better than no system at all. Removal is not an option. Unless you have a suggestion for how it can be improved, there's nothing here to discuss that hasn't already been talked or raged about to death in the past.

Sounds to me like you deserve the dishonor points. You should have rushed the other team's healer and died like the rest of the team at the very least.

because asshats never resign. Resign Denial equals Abuse in RA. Don't resign, force time wasted, and pressure other players to leave prematurely to suffer the D.Hex. I also add salt and lemon juice to the cut by mapping out at the 00:00 marked every. single. time!

Just run in and suicide, leave as soon as it says Defeat or Victory.

Might as well remove dishonorable. After the removal of TA, RA is just:

Enter
See if you have a monk
If yes then stay
If no then go back to step 1.

And you can't blame people for doing this, why stay and win that 1 round for a pitiful amount of balth.
