Suggestion: Pre-scramble non-competitive matches

I found this game really addictive but after the fast paced learning curve, memorizing the maps, working my way higher on the scoreboards and buying several classes/cases, I’m having difficulty staying interested. It’s just not as exciting anymore.

I could join a clan and start on competitive matches but honestly, that sounds exhausting. I’m much more of a casual player but your Quick Join system is excruciating in it’s current state, 75% of the time I’m placed on a losing team, mid match on which most of my team mates have already bailed on or given up on the objectives. That didn’t bother me so much at first because I needed practice and credits but now there is nothing enjoyable about it. Perhaps even worse is the opposite effect, when I land on a good team and we’re just camping outside the spawn on the first objective. It seems like I’m either frustrated or bored now whenever I log in and more often than not, I just don’t now.

I think the only solution here is the scramble before each match, people who want to play on more organized teams will always have Stop Watch but I think the rest of us are just looking for a “good game.”

Scrambling may not even help, though. You still can’t stop leavers or teams being uneven, and then people can still switch during the game. If you take away switching and try to force balances games, it’ll likely just turn people off.

What I’ve come to realise is that whenever I first join a game, expect to be on the losing side. They’re the ones that more likely to have had people leave, so yeah, you’re going to be placed there. Finish the game, see what difference you can make, and then just come at it fresh in the next game.

Idk. I have days where I hate how badly balanced my games are, and I have days where I have outstanding games. It’s just the nature of pubs, whatever they do there will always be times like that.

People leave because the teams ARE uneven. It’s not just about the first game either, that trend lasts several games. The better players on the loosing side just switch sides or leave.

I wouldn’t suggest automatic scrambling if I hadn’t seen it work, most people don’t even know about pressing F5 and requesting a scramble. Problem is the winning team will usually win that vote because most are enjoying the free ride, occasionally though it does and the next match is much more fun.
