Did Champ come back?  There are always asses, but it would have helped if he had said to all why he was pausing.  Did the other two try to talk to you about what was going on before they unpaused?

Ah, it's unfortunate you can't talk when paused.  I haven't paused yet so didn't know. 

Seems like being able to talk when paused would help with things like this though.  I play DOTA2 where you can do that and people are more understanding when you can talk about it.

What, I'm pretty sure I've used the chat while paused.

But anyways, the pause feature should not be used in multiplayer unless everyone agrees to use it. It was rude of Champ to pause the game unless it was an absolute emergency, and if you don't say why you are using pause I have to say it is entirely his fault. No one wants to sit there for no reason because someone else maybe has an issue.

If it's a such an emergency you can't take 15 seconds to tell people you need to pause (and this is if you know it won't take more than 5 minutes) then take the loss, a stat point isn't worth the rudeness to other players to expect them to sit around staring at a frozen screen not knowing how long the person will be gone or even why they paused in the first place.
