Wins/Losses are tracked if the game ends immediately after joining

“joining a game as it’s about to end”, I’m sure you have also experienced this, just sitting in the lobby waiting to deploy and then the game ends without you spawing in.

Often you will join the lossing team (nothing wrong with that, as you should be put on the team with fewer players), other times you’ll join the winning team.

The problem is that I gained 1007 credits and a case without even playing, I also gained a “win” on my stats page from this game.
Remember how I said that often you’ll join the loosing team? well this is the problem, you will also receive a “loss” on yout stats page for that.

Is it possible to make it so that you will not gain anything from a game, if the deploy timer hasn’t ended?

This is a very small problem, this I know. I would just like to see this being put on a “to do” list.

I think the best way would be to show match progress & time left in server browser - but I’m unsure how hard would it be to implement.

So if the first line of your thread is explaining that your title is misleading, maybe the title should be changed?

Otherwise, I agree with your point. If you don’t have a certain minimum time in a match it shouldn’t count in your stats/missions. You have no chance to contribute before it is over in this scenario, yet it still affects you.

Indeed it should, however english not being my first language, I wasn’t sure what I should call this thread, that would describe the problem while still being short and sweet.
So I went with a joke instead.

Please feel free to change the title, or give me a suggestion as to what I should call it.
