This will not be a thread on how nonfunctional the online can be in FG at times or at the small 100 friends cap. Instead, we will be looking at how the matches are moderated (kicks, bans etc) which is in some serious need of fixing.
The leaving a match penalty: I have no sympathy for rage quitters. BUT sometimes you leave a game for a damn good reason. Most times I want to leave is when my opponent is rocking internet from the 90s and the game is playing at 10fps, has a whole second worth of input delay, OR BOTH! They should make it like how it is in other Online Games (Call of Duty, CS GO etc) Where if you leave matches excessively you will be put on probation and have a 5 minute waiting period. Because in Smash 4 if you're playing a match of Free For All and the connection is awful, you have to wait for the time to run out (which is a 2 minute timer but when its lagging it can take up to 10 minutes) or leave, and get a 20 minute ban from playing online at all. Even with friends. Which is ****ing disgusting in my opinion.
Finally, getting kicked from matches for dumb reasons: Im Ok with Frequent SDs and being AFK getting you kicked. But for frequently targeting one player (or griefing as the game sometimes calls it) is stupid. Most of the time when you get kicked its when you just attacked someone and strung together a combo. OR when someone is constantly trying to take you down but you just defend yourself, and you get kicked. And all of those can result in a ban (I once got banned for a ****ing hour after some guy kept coming after me and I fought back) Im not saying get rid of kicking people from matches, just dont kick them for no reason at all.
What do you think Nintendo should change about the Smash 4 Online? Reply to this thread and tell us what you think and why.
