Swap w/ Leavers

[Zieen]

When you're only tank or nuker leaves -- whether due to connection interruption or rage quit -- it can doom the game. I think it would be great if players still in the game were given the option (via a minimally obtrusive prompt?) to swap their character out for the terminated players.

Say I'm playing a level 13 kraken and my friend is playing a level 15 accursed. My friends internet dies and he can't get back in. Under normal circumstances, after 5 minutes accursed is out of the game for good. I'm suggesting the ability to swap with him at the 5 minute termination point so that I am now playing accursed and kraken is out of the game for good. (not saying kraken is worse than accursed, but in some situations it would make sense).

Nice hero suggestion. That aside, i think it's not necessary to have such a system because the leaver-system will actually sort this stuff out.


My friends internet dies and he can't get back in.
I think the problem some people have getting back into a game is some sort of bug S2 is hopefully going to fix. If a leaver leaves on purpose, he will actually get a higher leaver percentage and eventually won't be able to join "No Leaver" games anymore. So under normal circumstances it isnt necessary to swap your heroes and your friend should normally be able to reconnect to the game.
