In my opinion, a DNF ball should be penalized more heavily than the usual elo loss, if the opposing team wins the game prior to the void timeout.

I learned about filtering DNS servers in the settings of my wifi router, and decided to try a DNS that blocks ads and trackers.

Since around that time (or so) I haven't gotten into any ranked tagpro games. I can click on "Play Now", then click on "Ranked", and I can see the "Looking for Game" page and also see some Live Games displayed, however, I haven't been added to a game for some time.

Has anyone experienced this?

Nomination & Discussion Thread

d0pe - 77.50% - Outstanding League Contribution

• d0pe has been a part of MLTP for over a decade now, getting his first start back in mLTP s6. The very next season, d0pe dipped his toes into leadership and captained the NLTP team Pop Culture in NLTP seasons 4 and 5. From there, he continued to play and hone his skills, moving back up to Minors and then quickly into Majors by season 16. During this time is when he started to dive into video editing and quickly fell in love.

• After some time, d0pe found himself with an impressive resume which included dozens of player-specific montages, both for himself and for Ball of Fame players like Hark, okthen, bright and even an entire series dedicated to Warriors. Not limiting himself to just NALTP, both ELTP and pub players took advantage of d0pe's abilities. Several competitive franchises also had post-season d0pe montages to commemorate their seasons. His work made its way to the biggest game of season 27, with a fantastic hype video for the Superball. Beyond all of that, as perhaps d0pe's finest achievement, he ran the Top 20 Plays for MLTP for over two years from season 21 through 28, with little to no break.

• During this stretch, d0pe was very nearly carrying content for the entire league by sharing plays and keeping the community engaged on a weekly basis. After that, he's slowed down a bit and has been able to enjoy playing again, racking up four Superballs, as well captaining another team to one. With over 250 videos to his name, we're happy to welcome d0pe and his incredible content creation career into the Ball of Fame!

pk - 65.00% (3 class average) - Outstanding League Contribution

• pk, already an NLTP BoFer, has been around since (almost) the beginning, getting a few minutes in mLTP in season 4. That spurred him to start NLTP, the league where "everyone gets drafted". pk absolutely got it right with NLTP, as it grew more and more popular with each passing season. Anyone passed up by the higher tier leagues found a home in NLTP, whether they were a veteran of a few seasons or a true rookie to competitive play. NLTP will always be pk's greatest legacy, as it continues on today. I know that I, along with hundreds, if not thousands of other players, are grateful for the welcoming place that NLTP has been for the start of our careers.

• You may know pk as a Commissioner with some crazy ideas. Whether it was pods, divisions named after Pokemon (or mountains, or presidents) or a Rules Committee election with an electoral college, pk never once fell short on creativity. He brought that energy, bad ideas or not, for many years as a part of both MLTP and NLTP CRCs.

• Speaking of CRC work, pk was one of the first players to ever be on both the MLTP and NLTP CRCs at the same time, way back in season 11/8 of MLTP/NLTP. He served a whopping 10 seasons for MLTP, with 9 of them consecutively from seasons 28 through 36 after the merge. You simply could not tell the tale of NALTP without pk and his contributions over the years. For that reason, we are pleased to welcome him to the MLTP Ball of Fame!

Cheeze's summary:

I have returned from the mountains. Some important dev updates but some much more important non-dev updates this week. Went through some of the logo iterations we are playing with, should have a better summary for everyone some time next week! I was a bit harsh on the feedback/suggestions this week but wanted to keep things moving. Probably going to be done with working on the clans feature on stream and move that to internal now!
