This entire night of games has been dull due to this thing. 100% of people don't like it, including myself. It's also useless as I'd just make a widget to get around it somehow.

I use it to make ctrl-a ctrl-d a hotkey for resign. The game ends when all players resign so it does not make games take longer.

Dull? What makes them 'dull'? No explosions at the end? Articulate your objections!

The default 'quit' behaviour should be /spectator. Most people have programmed themselves to 'control a control d' to quit, and ragequitting ruins a lot of games.

/spectator is just difficult to type. The GUI should have an easy 'resign' button that /specators you, and even then, ragequitting should be discouraged.

Perhaps we could have the widget disable if you are the last player on your team if you miss the explosions.

Fine. I do miss the explosions, and so does everyone else.

This would be good.

100% of people don't like it

This poll shows something else.

It's also useless as I'd just make a widget to get around it somehow.

Of course you can. We don't want to remove self-d at all, you should still be able to self-d units. We will never be able to prevent rage 100%. But we can make it more difficult.

The default 'quit' behaviour should be /spectator. Most people have programmed themselves to 'control a control d' to quit, and ragequitting ruins a lot of games.

+1

Perhaps we could have the widget disable if you are the last player on your team if you miss the explosions.

If you want to see explosions, blow up your fusions and then use self-d on the 90% rest that doesn't have a big explosion.

This poll's count is not even close to the number of people who complained yesterday.

"This poll's count is not even close to the number of people who complain about ruining games by rage quitting."

Just letting everyone know I was in a room full of complaining people, don't shoot the messenger. Poll's outcome is the final decision, so be it.

"There were 2 rooms full of complaining people about self-d used for rage quitting."

"Some people/number of people/room full" is not an argument. Provide a representative poll for the ca community.

That's a good idea, I'll make an SD poll.

Look try to be in my shoes. I was in the midst of a whole bunch of people saying they are displeased with this change, so I came here and made a poll. Let's be happy that we are closely knit with the player community enough to be in touch with the word on the street. I understand your point that there is another side to the argument and people hate that too. Just saying that's why I made the poll.
