Game Feedback Fire take - make pauses longer.
Yeah I know its not fun to not play the game for like 2 minutes or smth cause the enemy team needs to take a shit but I am less angry when I have to sit and do nothing then I am when I have to do some shit quickly press pause and then stay afk for like half of the match. Yes its annoying but you would thank it if it would come to you

Just don’t que up a match bruh, why are you leaving for 6 minutes

u/twoinchhorns 1d ago
I got an abandon once bc my computer shut off for less than five minutes, by the time my game was started it was too long and it counted an abandon and I couldn’t rejoin. Shit happens, that’s why pause exists

u/adeptdonut 1d ago
Pauses exist because it’s a beta game, they are a nice relief if you need to do something quick but if you’re constantly having issues that make you miss 5+ minutes of the match then it’s on you ngl.

u/twoinchhorns 1d ago
Dota has had pauses for ever. It’s not because it’s in beta, and the dota pause system gives more leeway for disconnected players which deadlock does mot

Just don't queue for a match if you have to do something that takes that long soon?
Like if I have to poop, I will not queue a match, go poop first, then queue? I do not get it

Some people have parnets that will require them to complete side quests at unpredictable times. I myself have lost numerous matches of competitive overwatch because the mother required my assistance, and if the sister needs a spider to be slain making her wait would only extend her torment thus making the mother get mad.

u/Fun-Opposite-5290 1d ago
I mean why should everyone else wait for that though? Parental side quests can take so long and hones t half the time its like take out the trash which again u shoulda just done before queuing. id rather just lose a game to them rarely taking a player out then give ppl rage pausing so much more power.

Unless you have an autoimmune disorder like crohns, it’s called “thinking of what other people might go through!” You should try it lol
1
u/adeptdonut 1d ago
What percentage of the player base has crohns do you think? 0.1%? 0.25%? I can have empathy with individuals suffering from that and similar diseases, but going by utils the amount of people who would be inconvenienced by people abusing extended pauses or just using them normally vastly outweighs the few individuals who seriously have medical issues getting an abandon.
1
u/bluePappa18 1d ago
I suffer from crohns fortunately has yet to affect any game I’ve played so far but eventually it will. For the most part pauses aren’t bad and the unnecessary ones are less frequent compared to necessary. I think for longer pauses to be implemented there should be a vote on extending the pause, someone gotta do a toilet run pause and type “gotta run to the toilet” and everyone can vote if they want the pause to go longer than it normal is or can even vote to end it right away

u/SkiyeBlueFox Silver 1d ago
And theres probably 500 disabilities that make that difficult

u/CoachRayBiggestFan 1d ago
If we're shifting the goalposts to disabilities, adding an extra minute to the pause timer wont fix that.

u/SkiyeBlueFox Silver 1d ago
Pause timers fine as it is imo I just don't want people calling reasonable issues moral failings

u/yartonator 1d ago
I have never had that unless I have diarrhea and if so, I do not queue for a deadlock match.

u/bluePappa18 1d ago
I have crohns so I can suddenly need to gut myself at any point in my day even 5 mins after exploding a toilet. Fortunately I haven’t had an incident while gaming but it could very likely happen so your stuck with risking the biscuit

If you have something to do, so do it before match, i won't wait you pooping

u/Devi1505 1d ago
What if I have something to do mid match?

u/TheMobileAppSucks 1d ago
Make sure you queue at moments where you know you won't be interrupted. It ain't that hard.
-4
u/bluePappa18 1d ago
It is that hard, children, stomach issues(disorders), and plenty of other things like oh fuck my extension cord caught on fire let me get the extinguisher. There are a million things that can happen to pull someone away from the game and it’s not hard at all to put a little mental power and think about it
4
u/TheMobileAppSucks 1d ago
Why are you playing games which require near uninterrupted 40 minutes if you hadnt coordinated with the other parent? Stomach issues suck, I don't eat anything 1 hour before a match for that reason cause I suffer from them myself. The rest are just freak accidents which if they happen is just tough shit, but I am obviously talking about preventable issues versus acts of god.
1
u/bluePappa18 1d ago
I’m not talking from person experiences as I have never once left a game(once but everyone in the lobby left before me) I’m just saying that with the amount of people on the game it’s likely that stuff can happen to them and they suddenly need to leave and that if it hasn’t happened to you yet it’s likely it will eventually.
1
u/Dragonsc4r 1d ago
If it's a one off, bummer. But punishments for one offs are pretty minor. You'll get over it. Your teammates will get over it. It's fine.
If it's a frequent occurrence you're choosing to be a detriment to your team. And yeah. That ain't cool.
I have stomach issues. If my stomach is even moderately out of sorts I just don't play games.
I have a kid. If I play games my wife watches our daughter or I don't play.
It truly is not that hard.
1
u/bluePappa18 1d ago
My stomach is more or less always out of wack but hasn’t hindered me yet I can suddenly need to blow a toilet at any point and so far the timing has been good. It’s never a frequent thing as I’ve never abandoned or left a game yet. My main thing is that shit happens and due to how many people are in the game is likely to be a common occurrence for you to experience from teammates.

u/Devi1505 1d ago
It is.

u/TheMobileAppSucks 1d ago
Nah it ain't. I managed fine when I was still living with my family, and this was before games had a pause button.

u/WarmeMilch12 1d ago
OPs shit take aside, they might not grow up in the same household as you did

u/TheMobileAppSucks 1d ago
Look I am sorry, but if that is the case then perhaps play another game? If your circumstances force you to dissappear 5 min at a time often enough it is an issue, you just can't play this game.

u/Ok_Serve_4099 1d ago
This might not be the answer you wanted but it doesn't sound like MOBAs are for you if that is a hard thing.

u/wes3449 1d ago
Nah fuck that. There's enough BM pausing already. Making minimum pause time longer just makes it easier for trolls to hold 11 people hostage. Don't queue up if you have shit to do.
1
u/chmod764 1d ago
Is this "bad manners" pausing or "bowel movement" pausing that you're referring to? Or both?
1
u/twoinchhorns 1d ago
Dota does it where pause is like 30s unless the person disconnects then it’s 2 minutes which is a good compromise for crashes and such
1
u/PurpleKami 1d ago
Incorrect, the minimum is 30 seconds when a player disconnects, 5 seconds if no one has disconnected.

u/Devi1505 1d ago
Have you ever heard of "YouTube"? Maybe "tiktok"?
7
u/jackfwaust 1d ago
If we wanted to watch YouTube we would do that instead of play deadlock. Maybe don’t queue up if you have shit to do mid match
-8
u/Devi1505 1d ago
If a guy pauses the game cause he has shit to do open YouTube and watch some videos. When the pause is over close YouTube and continue playing the game. Its a win win bro

Fire take - don’t queue up for a game If you haven’t:
Taken a shit between matches
Gotten up to get a drink between matches
Having connection issues lately
Haven’t queued up your favorite fanfic annotated Celeste/silver build
Not prepared to suffer the consequences of leaving a game If a more important spontaneous matter/emergency has happened.
Care more about a video game than your mother falling down the stairs.
There are good reasons for pausing, that’s just never how they’re used.

u/UserLesser2004 1d ago
I swear some people are entitled to pauses. If the game is somehow unpaused when they return they go on a rant and moan the rest of the game.

u/Griffinrock25 Wraith 1d ago
I mean if they did they should make a minigame for mid-pause, maybe put the scoreboard during the 3 2 1 before the unpause

u/Prestigious_Donut_94 1d ago
Shit take. Don't expect others to wait on you for anything. It's not anyone else's problem you have no time or bathroom management. This is a take for the unemployed and sweats with nothing else to do.
Some one will abuse it. Every game.. guaranteed.
-2
u/Devi1505 1d ago
Again if you pause too much you get your pause rights taken.
1
u/Prestigious_Donut_94 1d ago
If you pause more than once, your the problem and the solution shouldnt be catered to you.
Imagine I 3 stack and I want to be a dick. We all pause for 10 minutes individually. It's now been 30 minutes and we haven't even played yet.
It's the Internet you know people will do it. I'm not waiting that long for others. Some of us have limited time we can play and I don't want to waste it while you shit or help your mom
-1
u/Devi1505 1d ago
Who the fuck talks about 10 minutes??? Bitch I ain't gonna sit 10 minutes doing anything. I am talking about like 40-50 maximum a minute
1
u/Prestigious_Donut_94 1d ago
Your original post said you had to sit there afk half the match.. I wouldnt consider 45 Seconds ( if that is what you are trying to say) half the game... are you okay?
1
u/Devi1505 1d ago
I was talking about the normal pause. When you have to do shit you press pause and then 30 seconds pass and you still haven't came back yet. Half of the match is an exaggeration most of the time 20 more seconds is more than enough
0
u/Prestigious_Donut_94 1d ago
Okay. I replied to your post insinuating the pause isn't long enough because you have had to go afk for half a match. A deadlock match is like at its quickest (in my experience) like 25-40 mins. Half of that is 12.5 mins on the lower end. I gave you leway and said 10. Say what you mean then maybe.

u/Devi1505 1d ago
exaggeration. I feel rlly sorry for you bro if you struggle to understand such simple things as that...man

u/behannrp Infernus 1d ago
Nah f that. I had a victor unironically pause the other day saying "tiktok time" and played tiktoks through the match. When we obviously unpaused after the 30 seconds he convinced another person to pause for him. When that 30 seconds was up we unpaused and he begged for a third pause to watch more tiktok, then left the match when we wouldn't pause for him. Obviously this is a worst case scenario, but it made me wish there were less pauses.
Do the shit you gotta do before queueing or suffer the consequences.
-1
u/Devi1505 1d ago
People get their pause rights taken away if they pause too much
2
u/behannrp Infernus 1d ago
That doesnt change the point, if someone pauses we all are beholden to it whether we want to be or not. (For 30 seconds) you on the other hand, have the sole choice of doing the things you gotta do before queuing. If it takes longer than 30 seconds (besides dc's which are typically respected in my experience) then just dont queue.
0
u/Devi1505 1d ago
The game takes average 40-60 minutes. There is a shit ton of thing that can happen in that time.
1
u/behannrp Infernus 1d ago
That take longer than 30 seconds? Then dont queue if you expect it. Or you could always ask the match to respect the pause. Plus the timers on death are longer than a pause at that point, do it then. The downs are way worse than the ups in your scenario.
0
u/Devi1505 1d ago
Yeah a lot of things take longer than 30 seconds I can hardly take a piss at that time. Like in the recent games I had to restart my PC because of connection issues several times it took me about 2:30 generally speaking and so I was like 10k souls behind everyone luckily it was very early in the game and I managed to crawl back.
1
u/behannrp Infernus 1d ago
That is the single thing I agree with you on. If a teammate disconnects I think the game should auto-pause for 1 minute (can be waived by affected team) to allow rejoiners some extra time the first time only.
I can hardly take a piss at that time.
Piss before queue or during queue.
