    I don’t know for you guys but in my opinion its pretty lame to SDS to end the game just because the other guy sucks big time. The quit option is there for a reason.

    Is there any method to avoid your opponent prolonging the game indefinitely (or at least long AF) without the mercy rule?

    I have never had this happen before. They might have it for this: If I am up by 12, and they don't want to quit, but I know that I am going to win, they are wasting my time without a mercy rule. If there is the mercy rule, I don't have to waste my time. I can go to another game.

    Only reason people wouldnt want the mercy rule is to pad your stats and help stroke ego. If you are mashing a team, there should be a mercy rule. That way the team getting destroyed can also have whatever rewards there are for when the game ends instead of getting a quit or disconnect

    I personally wouldn't mind some personal stat padding and ego stroking. I like stroking of most kinds, as a matter of fact.

    But what I don't want is to open a door for someone to be able to make me spend an entire day playing them. It only takes 1. And if no mercy rule existed, there'd be more than 1. Especially at the earliest levels where players are less invested in their records or stats.

    Bruh what’s wrong with padding my stats, stroking my ego and destroying the enemy team at the same time ? At least I don’t need a trash can to do those things.
