I will say why these locked games intrigues me.
First off, most locked games tend to be between small groups, often lower-leveled. To me this is a concern since our community is already small, and needs growing, and to see locked games are what concerns me.
It concerns me simply because they tend to be lower-levelled. This could be a) dislike of community b) group play or c)just want to try things out however, d) could be they don't want to socialise.
A) is a large problem. If they make locked games because of community (toxic, namecalling, GG spam), then that means they don't want to join us, and don't want anyone saying ; "nub, make a damned Geo on that spot!" This probably means they also don't want to be criticized, or pushed around by higher-leveled players, some of who are pure tryhards.
B) group play:
A bit weird, since we have a community to play with, but when maybe no one is on, they invite their friends and play a nice, tryhard game of 0K. They could also just want to play with their friends, no one else as they might be using a voice chat/skype
C) Well, why not.
D) This is probably not a new point, but if they feel as if there is something bad about the community,and they don't want to socialise because of that then that is not exactly a good image for us
