    Can we make this bright and bold and advertise it on main page? It's actually amazing how many people believe this and will waste a timeout at weird times to 'reset'.

    Regardless of whether it's real or not, what's stopping a player from "disconnecting" during an intermission in order to change host?

    The penalty they take once the game restarts

    So let’s quit out to stop fake momentum that doesn’t exist from happening only to start the game short handed and go down by a goal...

    I get it but where I can just edit my routers settings and block myself from connecting to EA West or Central servers thus forcing it to be on East thus not giving the ideal connection for all 12 players.... (I know of West players who do this... but obviously block east.) Is that really fair either? It's also something that LG cannot monitor or enforce rules for. Just too many ways to manipulate it so you gain an unfair advantage over the other team.

    Also for all the dumbass West Coast people who whine that East players complain too much. If I build an all East line and have them only play home games. The chances of them playing against a full west line are what? 1%? If I make an all west line and have them play all home games... the chances of them playing vs an east line are 99%. Stop living in la la land people. The only ones abusing connection are West lines.

    Part of me feelings like that would just result in more DR errors for that person who blocks certain server

    But once again that further increases the argument. Why are people backing out? Accept the server you land on and play the game

    Majority of the players are east coast which results in majority of the games going to the east server.

    The purpose of this poll was to see how the community felt about their time being wasted when teams quit out. Which is overwhelming in favour of just playing the game once you load into the game.

    #1 fix would be server selection for CC. That would all us control where a game is played.

    I legit have no issues with a west line playing a game that lands on a west server regardless if they are home or away.

    That isn’t my issue

    My issue is quitting out trying to force a game to a certain server based on some untested theory that goes against how the game is setup and wasting people’s time.

    At the end of the day, the league is made up of east and west players. No everyone is going to be happy with what server is selected by EA for every game. But majority of us would prefer t get our games played within a reasonable amount of time

    Remember that the type of internet and the way you are connected to it makes a huge difference too. I'm East and never had any issues playing with a western connection, I mean the numbers are a little higher but nothing where it is not playable. Even played with people in Europe while playing club and it wasn't that terrible

    I'm from the east and the difference, west vs east host, from last year to this year seems like night and day. I believe how you described the host selection this year is a modification from last year and even previous years. My recommendation would be to leave things and there should be no reason to back out currently.

    Back out should be allowed for the home team. Home should always have host advantage.

    All west players are handicapped basically every game.... 90% of games seem to be east coast. The easterners would just keep backing out if it was a west connection lol. Westsiders are already used to playing on east servers as a norm. If this was allowed not one west game would ever come to fruition. Any skilled west player is likely better than the average skilled eastern player they just have to play on east servers every game lol.
