Removing the -kick command was a disaster. We just have one early feeder, followed by a pissed off intentional feeder. Game ruined, no kick. I'd rather get unfairly kicked sometimes but know that other games will be fair and reasonable. Now this game with the intentional feeder is a joke so I just -afkai until the end. And guess what? I wont get kicked.
I play to have fun, not for rank. I never even logged on these forums before. I just set up this account out of shock they decided to ruin public games like this. I played BTanks because it was fun; we could usually kick out nubs or feeders before they ruined games. Now every 10 year old (and yes, 10 year olds play), drunk college student, and gamer with a bad day will ruin games anytime they want. What's worse is they will be able to stay for 100% of the game and look good when they join the next game. -Kick was the biggest reason BTank games were consistently fun, and why I quit DOTA after years to play BTanks. I sincerely hope the developers bring it back; without the ability to self-police, there are far more games ruined.
Or to put it another way: An abused kick command could ruin a couple people's game, and usually early on. A lack of kick command can ruin 8 people's game for 1-2 hours that they can't leave without consequence. I'm shocked that's what the developers chose.
