Okey doke, when you see players with like 88/800 kdr im pretty sure we know what their intention is. Game ruining. Or when we see a player from the last game we(you) played doing some game ruining/feeding(intenional or not) stuff then joins you in the next lobby to do it again u kinda want to kick them. Theres also people that still have dial up(lagging like fuk) but choose to play the game anyways only to feed and blame lag/drop out. Votekick would be an amazing way to be extremely pre-emptive. Just filtering out past behaviours or known players to have a good game u kno?u kno how much it sucks to start a game then someone leaves at the beginning then it turns into a !draw?then see the exact same player join u in another lobby to do it again?I mean yes i could jus leave and join another game right BUT alot of the times u could have a legit room with lots of good people and then 1 KNOWN feeder/game ruiner joins in and completely fuks it up. Because they cant kick him from the lobby half the room would leave and wait for another game. We need to be pre-emptive.

The only use I see for using vote kick in lobby is to get rid of that guy who just purposely ruined the game before. Yes, I had to clarify the intention, as game ruining can be extremely suggestive. We believe that such cases should be judged by moderators through ban request forum, and not by players in lobby as it would lead to an extremely bad environment for noob and new players.

We had vote kick in lobby enabled in the past. The main reasons we removed it is because it was prone to abuse, it was a waste of administrative resources, and most of all, it was against our noob / new players friendly values.


Yes there might be a few benefits for having vote kick enabled in lobbies, but the pros vs. consequences are hugely in favour of keeping it disabled. Your suggestion is denied.
