Seal Clubbing - the solution

Seal Clubbing - the act of floating (doing nothing, afk) or intentionallly losing (suicide) to drop infamy to a level where you slaughter / 1 hit your opponents for faster resources gain.

My proposal:

Based on the exisiting matchmaking (MM) max range (ive heard its +-800) remove any league bonuses for the owners specific ship (max infamy per ship type, not per account - important) type based on its previouosly max achieved infamy score minus max MM range.

I.e my max infamy on mk4 speeder is 2k. I only earn league bonus down to 1200. Past 1199, no bonuses are recieved. Pop up a msg or something when i enter battle.

It should be easy to implement, act as a suitable deterrent and also not penalise existing captains if they wamt to try out other boats as max is stored per boat. There is still a chance they will load up thier lower ship, but it will remove 90% of the seal clubbers and only leave the true griefers who you can ban or wever.

Thanks for listening!

 

i wish rovio makes it that players who want to drop infamy be given the option to sell their infamy at the shop. that way, they wont affect their teammates who want to gain trophies. instead of being a burden for other players on their team, let them sell their infamy at the shop. its so frustrating playing in a "team" when someone wants to lose. its like a 4 vs 6 match instead of 5 v 5. sometimes its like a 3 v 7 match when two players wanting to drop infamy are on the same team.
