I played this game for the very first time today. I've been playing WC3 games for years, and I've absolutely mastered several of them. So, it offends me greatly when I play on Battle Tanks Qualify (which is supposed to be for noobs anyways) for the first time and my entire team is telling me to leave and trying to kick me. Sure, I had a horrible K/D ratio, but how is anyone supposed to get good at this game if they constantly get kicked? This is one of those games where if you have a bad start or if you feed the enemy a little, it affects your team for the rest of the game.
I played 4-5 games today, and I got kicked out of 2 of them. Whenever I asked for help (what weapon do I pick, where do I buy armor/HP, etc.), I was ignored, called stupid, and/or told to leave. So then I asked them how I'm supposed to get good at BT if I constantly get kicked and nobody gives me any help, and they told me to go 1v1 a computer. My reply was that's like telling someone to go play the Campaign so they can get better at ladder. (I figured they were being sarcastic/crude, but w/e.)
Out of the hundreds of custom games I've ever played, I have never experienced one with a worse community than this. The map itself is really fun, but I honestly don't see how the game will last longer than a few months if every noob undergoes the same experience that I had today.
Hopefully this changes your mind about kicking players with even 0 Kills 25 Deaths. If you're playing on a bot that was meant for noobs to figure out how the game works and get better at it, then you need to give them a suitable environment to do so.
Seriously though, the first time I ever played this game, my K : D was like 0 : 20. I wasn't suiciding, and I certainly didn't deserve to get kicked. Keep that in mind.

Quote:Stop kicking players based on score, if you don't offer them advice or suggestions then stfu and leave the game yourself.+1
Quote:Kicking should only be there to kick people who start to insult others and flame around wildly. Or people who try to ruin a game by suiciding or parking their tank in the corner.+1
Quote:I never give up and never kickvote someone only because of bad score. It's only when people start to suicide to ruin a game, don't play with the team saying "you're all noobs!" or park their tanks in the corner of the base. And most of the time you can't even kick those corner-parkers.+1 One of my allies put their tank in the corner and went afk for the rest of the game like you said.
