Bring back vote kick?
Removing the vote kick function from HoN is one of the most worthless decisions S2 has ever made. They think they have it covered with the “Report a player” function, which is bullshit. No one is afraid of losing their account. S2 wouldn’t even take away people’s accounts if they were out of control. Case in point, KingRaven. This guy is a total asshole and flames everyone every single game yet will never lose his account no matter how many times he gets reported. No one signed a contract when they paid their 30$ saying they would be nice on the internet, and S2 isn’t going to steal anyone’s 30$ dollars by taking their account away for such reason. The “Report a player” function is a useless placebo that doesn’t get anything done.
The only way to prevent moronic behavior is to have an quick fix like vote kick. “Hey moron, stop feeding or we’ll kick you.” That takes care of things pretty fast, and if it doesn’t, you just kick them and play it out 4v5 and your game isn’t ruined. Instant solution. Worked fine and it’s mind-boggling that it would get removed.
There are all kinds of idiots in HoN that can ruin your game whether they are just plain terrible, feeding on purpose to boost Milkfat’s stats, illiterate, or just some vindictive troll who gets off on wasting your time (read: 30% of the HoN community). There’s absolutely no reason they shouldn’t be kicked from your team if a unanimous vote passes.
Anyways lets see how the rest of you feel and if its a landslide maybe S2 will have the sense to bring vote kick back.

You can no longer get temp banned for trash talk. What was psych degree Nome thinking when he had that as a rule? I’m glad S2 hired that kid to relive his glory TDA mod days…

As for vote kick, eh, this will prevent people who probably shouldn’t be kicked from getting kicked. There is no ideal way to implement an objective kick system in this game.

I’d like to go to your weblog extra usually however recently it appears to be taking forever to come up. I go to from work, and our connection there’s fairly good. Do you think the problem could be in your end?
