I'm fine with this. There are some braindead or brand new players out there who should 100% be confined to the kiddie pool until they learn the basic mechanics.

the goal of this ... is to lie to us—to insult our intelligence by trying to pass off an obviously phony product as legitimate

I heard Sue Storm's ass is great and modeled after a model with a great ass

This feels like a bandaid on a gunshot wound.

The problem is that every game has a losing team, and the players are supposed to feel bad no matter how well they performed. "Defeat" or "Loss" messages, sad music, sinking stats, public match record showing off your failure; there's punishment baked into this model of game.

Trying to keep players by throwing them easy wins is an insult. You're the game developer that created this "winner/loser" model to begin with. Now you're trying to make me feel better with this bullshit? You're the one that caused the pain to begin with.
