Just as the title says: block those who always have score like 0-10 from random team game completely. Free for all is where they can shine. In team game they just pull their team down.

This is why we'd need the ability to form teams outside of guilds, because it's obviously very frustrating when you have random people joining that just randomly bomb everyone and even themselves, yet it doesn't seem quite right just to outright ban them just for playing badly.

@ whoever takes the "guild

@ whoever takes the "guild teams" approach:
You change guilds constantly just to play guild wars?
What if I don't want to play vs guilds?

It takes more time to:
- join a new guild
- gather together 3 members of the guild to play blast network
- figure out if they're worth anything
- wait for another guild team to appear that I can play with (99% of time there are 0 players from guilds)
... than to simply play a random team.
At the same time, implementing friend-based teams (offered a long time ago) would fix most of these problems. Just add capable players to your friend list and thats it! No need to look for a new guild with 3 capable members, who are online and want to play blast network each time you want to play. And, the best part - add these as one player to random teams and you have enough players to play with, like, ALWAYS!

Friend teams: not an option.
Kicking incapable players pulling the team down: not an option.
Disabling ability for players to block others BEFORE other can move: not an option.
Predicting lag and changing timed event remaining time before execution: not an option.
Dealing with lags: not an option.
Making more servers worldwide: not an option.
Considering any suggestions unless it is pointless AND unrealistic: not an option.

PS: yeah, I feel better after ranting like that :P

So because your an elitist,

So because your an elitist, everyone who isn't as good as you have to go into another game mode? good system there. /sarcasm

AND how do you propose to go get this system going? by looking at peoples K/D ratios, what if they're new to the bomberman gameplay? "Oh I know I'll play team game so that that way I don't have a whole tonne of people on my ass" "sry not pr0 enuf 2 play go 2 nub mode" <-- player gets there ass handed to them because they don't know what they're doing. <-- player never plays game mode again. And then suddenly: new topic in suggestions forum: "OMFG 2 many nubs in random matches ban dem from playing".

Atleast playing with teams give them the chance of winning and positive reinforcement.

the only way that this can be done so that roodypoos like you don't complain about having nubs on their team is by having ranked gameplay, but in my opinion, this is not a major problem, and something that does not need to be fixed.

So having a newbie player who doesn't know how to play makes it easier for the team to win?
What planet are you from, again?

If they don't know how to play, they can play free for all.
You can either judge by last 50 game KDs (if you played 5 games, can you call yourself experienced at blagst network?), or judge by their ranking, or simply count the amount of games they played.
Or you can find other suggestions and up them, instead of downing anything.

Instead of complaining how things are people should stop for a second and think how things should be. Thats what I'm offering: alternative ways to dealing with currently broken or unbalanced moments. Not just ranting about how newbies become baggage.

INFER MY POST AGAIN KIND

INFER MY POST AGAIN KIND SIR.

Im talking about easier to win for the newbie, not for the team. I'm one of those aforementioned "newbies". I played random once, its a hellish s***storm of epic fail, and I didn't enjoy any moment of it. this is why I play team games only.

Your current suggestion does not help the system at all, it hinders it. people prefer to play specific ways, I prefer to play as a team. I function better, and play better. your suggestion, effectively denies the player from playing in a certain way. you would not play a team game exactly the same way you would play a team game, and eventually you would get games where by you get newly promoted people who have experienced only FfA and boom, they destroy how team games work.

At least my suggestion of ranked play will solve the problems, and still allow all player levels to enjoy what ever game type they like, and keeps the pros away from the newer people.

So pairing people who play a lot (lose/win - doesn't matter) with people who play well and play rare is a good idea...
I don't see in what way, though.

PS: on monday, when I had some half free day, I got to 1st position in the leaderboard. Does this make me "pro"? I'm better than average newbie player, but having my lags almost eliminates ability for tactical planning. Seeing any player with noticeably smaller lag puts me at a HUGE disadvantage. So, how about pairing players by their pings?

I suppose that could be done, but lag problems are a pain in the ass for the entire game, and can only be really solved by world wide servers which OOO cannot afford to do iirc

Its not that they can't afford it. Its just they don't plan to make this game big and worldwide. Small and laggy works and brings in the money with minimal money investments, so why bother?

Probability...

The team with fewer/better complete losers ("loser" being 0-6 or worse) is (generally) the winning team. The chance of it being yours is around 50%, so you win about 50% of the games if you're not a complete loser yourself. This is about how it should be: it's RANDOM team and there are only 2 teams.
