Just wondering if I'm being extra salty with how my games in crucible go or if it's reasonable to ask for some adjustment to the mercy rule. Because, honestly, most of the matches I'm in are either won by at least 30-40 points or lost by 30-40 points. Like, yeah, you can pull through in something like capture if you manage to get a couple points held for a while, but most of the time if you're losing by 30-40 points... You're not coming back from that. There's a reason there's that huge lead.
For myself when that happens, which is [i]often[/i], it just feels like... Why bother? We're going to lose anyway, there's literally nothing I can do to help. And once it's at that point I'm not having fun, it's just a slog to get killed over and over and over to get it all over for minimal rewards. At one point, albeit last season (3), I was in a game that was 40 - 105 with 5:31 left in the match. Can you guess how that went? Who won? At least at that point it was over quick, but really... If you get a lead that far ahead there's no reason the mercy rule shouldn't kick in and let you get to a new, better matched game ASAP to get the feeling of having your teeth kicked in away.

Comebacks do happen more often. Just don’t give up. Of course if there’s 4 weak links in your team that’s a different story but more times it does get a bit more interesting when those same weak links get it together and tighten the score. Maybe not a win but it does get interesting.
