Yeah harpy was in a position to say "no roper or no game" cos he had lower season rating. But as I said, harpy could have searched "tus no Roper anyone?" in AG and the outcome would be the same = no game.
Rules like "you can't fall back from a TUS match after joining the game lobby" or "agreements regarding scheme picks are not valid" would have loopholes and lead to awkward situations.
1. What if you "drop" after you see your opponent's pick? Or just suddenly find out that you can't play? Or in 2vs2 games your partner goes afk and never arrives at the game lobby? If such a rule was in place, no one would ever say "no Roper or no game" but simply leave the lobby. A free win could be given no matter what was the reason for leaving, though, and the player would have one week to play the pick.
2. Someone who doesn't want to play Roper writes "tus no roper anyone?" in AG. You would need to lie to him "ok let's tus no roper" to get him in the lobby and then pick Roper. Or at least get logs where he looks for "tus no roper" and then refuses to play regular tus with you.
Also, some players play just occasionally and they want to play certain schemes or with their buddies. Avoiding rules and such are meant for situations where a player tries to abuse the system in order to get in playoffs. If these rules applied stricly to every player, there would be just less players and less games. If harpy can't have a tus game without rope schemes, he won't simply look for tus. Is that what you want?
cancelling?
"tus no ropes"
are you kidding me?
Never saw Chel..people looking for "tus defaults only"? It's not a new thing.
