What do you guys think the devs should do for players who drop out of games, sure there’s the incentive of not dropping out with a join game delay but what about the players left in the match with imbalanced teams?
I suggest that there could be a system that automatically drops a new player that is in queue waiting for a match to take the place of the player who dropped out.
Some important points I would do if i were to implement such a system:
-
Allow players to opt-out of the “Drop-in” system to prevent annoyances of being dropped into a game mid-match.
-
The Opt-Out button must be next to the “Join any team” button for easiest accessibility
-
Once the game is past its halfway point (50% tickets on attacking team, half way through defensive cap points, half tickets on any team on Conquest) the auto balance system locks that match of any newcomers. This is for players who don’t want to be constantly thrown into almost ending matches.
-
Add obvious notifications that players have left/joined the match
-
Replace the empty player slots with AI bots until new players can be found.
