Seriously, it shows absolutely nothing further useful about the server, just a list a players, which is already available when you select the server in the server list.
How about a scoreboard and time remaining? That way I can know if I’m about to jump in a totally lopsided game or one with 30 seconds left instead of waste my time connecting and waiting out the deploy timer.

That’s the deal. You shouldn’t see such things so you don’t cherrypick.

I’ll have to agree with laudatory. People already stacking and leaving games to join other games to stack or the current one. Don’t need them sitting outside in the server lobby cherry picking games. No just no!!!
I would be okay with the time left showing, but not showing which objective or part they are on. Just a straight “5:33 remaining”
My worry is that when you do that and i’ve been in games where people leave and someone comes in to take his spot in the final 5 or so minutes. What happens when people see look there is a spot but hey 5min left in game nah I’m not joining so it’s 6 v 5 till match ends because now people know the timer and go why enter just wait till it ends.
Wow, how ignorant. Not letting people pick their games isn’t going to stop people from stacking, and only makes it more punishing and infuriating for people looking for fair games, or ones that aren’t immediately ending.
Players already will just bail on a stacked or late games anyway, and not letting them have the game info before they join isn’t a solution.
The real problem is the balance system and the real solution is improving that from the outset; not trying to force players into garbage lopsided games.
One of the best ways to ensure people will hate a game is to repeatedly throwing or forcing them into totally stacked trash instead of giving them an option that might actually be fun.

As you said first fix the matchmaking then look into this. Not the other way around. Right now this is a non issue until matchmaking get’s fixed.
No, right now it’s completely frustrating and another reason to drive players away. Nothing is gained by not providing more info.
I’d be all for seeing the time left on a game, tired of joining a game in the last minute and not being able to do anything.
You are free to join games which are in the lobby. Noone is forcing you to join already started games, seriously.
