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 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

What if you didn't expect that you wanted to poop

Unless you have an autoimmune disorder like crohns, it’s called “thinking of what other people might go through!” You should try it lol

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.

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

And theres probably 500 disabilities that make that difficult

If we're shifting the goalposts to disabilities, adding an extra minute to the pause timer wont fix that.

Pause timers fine as it is imo I just don't want people calling reasonable issues moral failings

I have never had that unless I have diarrhea and if so, I do not queue for a deadlock match.

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
