It is good if leaver leave for example before level 5 - that will take about 10-15 minutes of players time, but if he leave between level 15 and 30 which happens in maybe 40%+ games which go without problems after level 10, then that is totally disaster and mostly has for final result losing game on some late level. Main point of this game is team work and need 4 players, or 2 players which is not case here. So all 4 players are there to do damage on waves and if someone leave the game balance will be broken, especially between levels 10 and 30. It is very simple, if 1 player leave the game, it is over. Now problem are players which are leaving more than 40% of their games and there are a lot of them with similar behavior. Back to game, each player/each side is doing some damage and without single player there is 1 wave less and 1 side less to fight vs waves, so some waves can be killed only if all players participate, so what to do with 3 players if they are not enough to kill waves..
If chance to win with 4 players is about 70%, with 3 players will be 10% after 10level, 20% after 20level, 50% after 30level, 70% after 35level
My suggestion some time ago
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=89255To be more easy to explain, I will use football teams Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real is little stronger atm because Ronaldo is playing like no one ever played, so players are Real and waves are Barcelona. So 1 player has left the game without substitution, Ronaldo is injured, and Barcelona will be punished with red card for that crime. Now Real is not same team anymore, Ronaldo was 40-60% of team, so that will be hard job for team to win the game. Now depends on game mode, Barcelona can be punished with 1-3 red cards, 1 because of start on Ronaldo and other/s for complain. So balance is broken and it is almost impossible to control the game again.
