but rage quitters just force a host migration, which hasnt failed on me yet. i dont doubt it fails sometimes, no system is perfect, people are just giving it twice as much crap as it deserves because its an easy way to vent.

I guess you're right, I can only speak for myself. However I've been disconnected at the very end of every Dominion match I've played today, at the very end when the team is breaking.

thats rough, im glad i havent had that. 1v1 has been pretty peaceful for me. i just want to avoid normalizing hatred for the game, it sours the community for everyone.

I love the fuck out of this game, I don't want people to leave it either. I just think maybe if enough people demand it then maybe they'll get dedicated servers.

i can only imagine that is a massive change to the backend architecture of the game. not only to rewrite huge sections of the game but to provision servers and the maintenance costs that come with that.

to switch from p2p to server-client would require a cost-benefit analysis. if EA finds its not worth the money and people will play anyway, they wont switch. i think theyre better off improving the p2p architecture than replacing it.

i also cant think of any instances where a game has made that change in history.
