i dunno. i’m asking. hence the question mark. surely there’s a way to tell if a match finishes with a retreat or finishes naturally, no?
regardless of the reason for retreating, if a defensive match plays out to the bitter end, and the server knows that is how the match ended, you should get a win for it.
They could. They could make it so that a retreat doesn’t count as a loss. But that wouldn’t solve the problem for two reasons:
This would allow anyone who ever thinks they were going to lose to retreat and rob their opponent of the defensive win. The only defensive wins would be from people who fail to realize this and surprise cascade wins.
it would still be possible to win trade. It would just take a little longer. You would have to attack the person you’re trading and choose a team of 2 1s and the 3 loaner and just allow the other team to win. This would still be faster than 40 wins and get exploited like crazy.
