[quote]The Mercy Rule aims to identify these games in progress, and end them early. This serves three goals: 1. End bad matches as quickly as possible 2. Give players full end-of-match rewards to discourage quitting 3. Reduce the number of players who are joined into bad games via join in progress When the Mercy Rule hits, Shaxx will call out the end of the match. We immediately disable join in progress to prevent any additional players from joining the game (if anyone has dropped already) and reset the game clock to :10 seconds. After those 10 seconds, the match will end normally. All players will receive their end of match rewards and return to matchmaking. The version of the Mercy Rule you will play in 2.0. is enabled for all team playlists except Elimination and Trials of Osiris.[/quote]
