#You die if you take too long in penta

Trolls? Noobs who probably can't even count to 10 and are still in kindergarden?

Penta is that one gamemode where no matter what your skill level is, one person is enough to make all 5 lose.

What if each person had maximum one minute (which is more than enough) to complete their minigame, and if they don't THEY get killed instead?

This would also fix people trolling on purpose to get their entire team killed.

It's not lore accurate but at least would make the gamemode less painful to play. (The normal 4 minute timer would still stay)

it's far from painful now, i don't even remember dying in new penta and when i play as guard people are barely dying too (someone dies in like 1/3-5 games)

😭 bruh not everyone is you

there’s multiple suggestions saying the same thing so obviously people have a problem with the game. You clearly haven’t experienced trolls or noobs that have no idea what they’re doing.

should we add a tutorial? (at the lobby) and to queue they must have finished it once

This wont stop quitters or trolls but atleast it can remove a few kids that can't interact with the mechanics or controls

it's to the point where I usually just leave if I get penta in the game. 7 out of 10 times I get killed bc some guy with nothing going on decides to spend their own life inconveniencing others. It's so bad, and even when that doesn't happen, it's just a boring game. You play for like 10 seconds when the game lasts for 4 minutes. Just give the option to play all five games on my own. Or automatically kill a player if they take >60 seconds to complete their game.

The fact that you can time out from doing nothing but not from losing for too long is incredibly stupid too. It gets rid of exactly zero trolls, they just have to actually be there to do it. If anyone takes more than 45 seconds to complete a game, they just deserve to lose automatically. I still stand by the idea that playing all 5 games yourself would be a better solution though.

Will never arrive though as Penta is meant to be a team game, not a solo game. They already added an anti afk timer where it automatically completes it .. other than that, solo penta is never going to arrive.

Why must it be a team game? Show accuracy is the only reason I can think of, but when the game is miserable 50% of the time and boring the other 50%, I don't believe that's an excuse. I understand that asking for a rework like that would be a lot, but the other idea, auto-eliminating players who take too long, I can't imagine it'd be a huge thing to add. Team games only work when there's consequences for losing. Besides frustration and wasted time, there are none. And neither of those matter to a troll whose entire goal is losing. And that's not to say there should be consequences to losing, because nothing that could be added would matter to a troll.

You already said it ..
Show accuracy and the childhood game of penta is meant to be a TEAM game.
Also as you just stated, adding anything will 100% not matter to a troll, unfortunately theres trolls everywhere in every game, you cant get rid of them no matter what happens. So as far as it stands, its staying as a team game, exactly how its supposed to be .. thats why they added the anti afk timer and if you're acquiring trollers, start forming a team ahead of time then so you dont have any trollers when the game arrives.
