Edit: so there is a reward for playing well?

Edit edit: nevermind, just looked over your other posts, Firemage, you never have anything serious to say about anything. You would never attempt a discussion, you only deliver a pithy one-liner, then smoke-bomb out of the discussion. I repeat my original thesis: There is no ingame reason to actually keep trying to win a match if it looks like your team is gonna lose. I am so tired of people going afk in base after they rush the enemies and die once, but there is no penalty for them doing that, and there is no reward for me to not do that.

Could we have some perk for being the only person on the team who actually tries?

The only good reward for playing well would be to be able to carry a game, not be a complete coinflip with teammates.

The reward for playing well is the increase of your rank and more currency.

Okay, but what about matches where it's obvious that your team will not win? Why still play well? You get nothing for being the best player on the losing team.

You still keep trying.

It won't happen all the time, but I have seen CC matches clawed back from having the crystal halfway into the team's goal circle.

Okay. I have a teammate who is afk in the base after dying once from rushing past the point before it unlocks. Why should I keep trying? The afk teammate gets no punishment. I get no reward.

Edit: In fact, if the 4 of us DO manage to claw a victory out of that, it rewards the afk teammate as well. That doesn't seem fair.

When you stop trying because it looks like a lost round, then you are one of the main reasons for the lose.
Never surrender and always try to win.

Report AFKs and griefer, when they do it regularly then they will get penalised.

But I would not be surprised to see you complaining about having a temp ban in a few weeks.

↑ this 100%. I've seen the Crystal at 99.9% and we've turned it around and won. Dont just give up. And I personally, report the sore losers who just 'sit' out bc they're losing. It's up to square to follow-up and investigate and hopefully discipline those players with a timeout or whatever.
