Timer pause is a new strategy in bg

Kasnow1

Not a fight without the opponent pressing the pause button to bypass the system. Who is silent consents. Who lets it go is an accomplice. Kabam your silence on this subject is regrettable. you who removed this option in qa so that corvus does not take advantage of it. On the same subject, you demonstrate a two-speed tolerance. We take note of this and consider that all shots are permitted in bg 😉.

I didn’t have one person do it to me and I’m in GC. Kabam also hasn’t gone silent, they’ve talked about it a few times.

Crying over any small thing that causes you to lose because you cannot get more then 15k in a bg's fight . If they take the pause button next you ppl will be on here with something else that "causes" your L's in bg's .try learning if y'all put in as much time grinding as you do "learning" how to complain on the forum someone pausing wouldn't be an issue at all lol

It's not that you can't make 15k, it's that you get dropped out from the match with a loss when it wasn't even you pausing the fight.

I win most of the fights I do. If you think this topic is about victory or defeat you are in the wrong place. I don't care about that. I prefer to lose in a beautiful game than to win in a game easy to deflect.

A couple things worth mentioning.

Removing the pause button is something the game team has discussed. However, it comes with its own problems. Notably, navigating how to handle players that would let the game idle in the background instead. Additionally, removing the pause button is a major change to the game infrastructure that could have many knock-on effects. Until that time, as we have said before, using the pause button as a strategy is considered unsportsmanlike and frowned upon.

Onto this season's meta... Yes, we have heard you, some of you really do not like the meta. We have heard from many people that this meta has forced them to use champs in ways they never would have and resulted in them learning a whole new area of the game they otherwise never would have. We've also seen reports from Summoners who were initially outraged, then took the time to learn the meta and found ways to thrive within it.

We take all of these factors into consideration and will use the information in how we build metas for future seasons.

OP, Kabam has not been silent on the pause button issue. The quoted post is from this thread:

I've not had anyone try to pause against me in this meta let alone lose to anyone that did. That doesnt mean I don't want to, and have wanted to since the betas, see the ability to pause removed.

It's cheap, ridiculously unsportsmanlike, and should never be a viable option to win for anyone.

The he pause button should stay. But people should be actively discouraged from using it to abuse the scoring system
