Return of Reckoning

This then puts you to the back of the que when you return. Punishments won't really matter because these people are simply afk. Why can't a new player be put in their place? I don't see an issue with players joining 1 minute late or 5 minutes later. Its better than scenarios ending early.

Since DPS usually wait like 15 minutes per pop they often end up getting 2 fights per hour because of scenarios ending early and back of the que they go. I had 4 in a row end early too.

- Ranked Scenario rewards have been reduced to 10 for a win and 3 for a loss as weekly rewards have been implemented.

Oh that makes me sad. Definitely the reason ranked had such appeal. The weekly reward isn't going to be big enough to offset 15 emblems per win.

It's about a potential payout of 750 tokens provided 200 games are played and you're at the top of the ladder (3k MMR) at the end of the week.

10 tokens for 10 minutes is a better rate than normal SCs still.

It was way out of whack, and still kinda is.

We fixed an issue where AFK players were not getting punished properly. Should see far less of them now, unless they want to deal with a 20 minute quitter debuff.

And if it's done deliberately, GMs have the option of manually enforcing quitter for extended periods of time.

Eventually banners won't stay at tier 1 and will get higher buffs.
When the buff is low, why even bother with it?
Usually you can already judge what team setup is stronger, so using banner benefits the better team only, as the inferior team wouldn't want to risk to plant their own banner.

Destro will start zerging forts again. There no 100+ ppl on order side instead of primetime. What I should do then if I'm playing order? You should batter try to equlize realms, and do not give 1 side adventages? After that kobs nerfs.
