    Should be implemented like Russian Roulette, If they time-out you give them a good ass whooping.

    If it is changed to a "runaway" attempt then in the end they will still more than likely get hit if they let an attack against an opponent that is hitting them back hard and take the loss as they …

(Staff edit: Name removed) attacked you, but timed out 2015/01/109:12:03 PM

so because i was winning he decided to time out, this should count as a loss for him right?

i think eventually they may look to changing it into a stalemate or loss. Could get it so that the system will look at who was more likely to win and the award the result accordingly

Although it's done to me, too, i think it's fair. That player needs to wait for 4 mins to time out. So he sacrifices (or exchanges if u wish) his time for some of his health and for not giving u a loss.

In theory you could just time out instead of running away when the opponent is too strong. This does not make any sense at all.

To be fair ive done this trick before. We have a nice chain going rather then try run and most likely fail I sat and times out so I was left with more life then if I ran and failed I would of been stuck with 1 life for the chain so just time out you end up with more life then running.

Its happened to me so I do it to others unless it's changed I can see more and more people doing this as people catch on

Really unfair and this should be changed as soon as possible. Several threads have been made about this issue already and I hope the devs can look into this.



You don't get a free pass when you time out during RR and so it should be for fights.

It could take a while for devs to make something about this, probably it would take even longer if it was suggested, maybe several people reporting this as a bug could speed up things? Anyone else agree?

Problem is that if you make these count as a stalemate, everyone would start doing it for the award.

ive had a few do this to me recently and I personally class it as bug abuse. It should be changed so that it counts as a loss to the attacking player

Wouldn't it make sense to make the attacker lose automatically if it times out? There'd be times where the attacker did lose connection or Torn servers being shit, but I think it's better than having this massive flaw in defending, where you can avoid losing completely.
