- @GutmanSca I kind of agree with you, but only if the team-swapping is sorted out!
I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm staying in a match that 2 vs 5 or worse!! ☹ Ive done it in Bfn if the teams are too uneven, Ill swap to the team with less players, not sure I help much but it makes me feel better about these crazy matches.
Rarely leave a match in the middle even if I'm not having fun.
It is a huge issue.- @asabaida Yes, I'll swap for that reason if it's not too uneven, but I've given up trying to swap / stay if you're seriously outnumbered.
As @dwooten77 says, even the best players can no longer carry the teams through & it just ends up a pointless, frustrating experience that usually puts me off playing ANY part of the game for a day or two. Its has been brought up here before but I don't mind a new thread as it is such a game killing issue and such a simple fix.
Popcap - disable team switching after the initial character select or please explain the rationale for leaving it in? It makes no sense to me and hurts the game.
- Does anyone know if this issue has been raised or acknowledged anywhere other than the forum? I don't use Discord or anything . . .
Oh I dunno about the discord.. too much going on in there and only sometimes interesting and relevant stuff.
Maybe on Twitter,,, certainly the matchmaking has been mentioned both on Twitter and Reddit... not sure about team swapping but probably.

- @spIash_damage Oh, that's good to know! Thanks!
Usually I swap teams when the difference is too big. It's good to see other people do the same.

We read all the posts and comments -- we hear the feedback. I can't comment on those other items just yet but I appreciate they're important to the community.
Note the last sentence. 🙏🤞🎅
I like team switching. I usually go to the losing team to see if I can turn the tide. Winning without any challenge is extremely boring to me.
- @mikepal19 If you're switching to help the losing team, that's fantastic! Unfortunately, most players don't though.
My son asked me a little while ago to take over the controller on his account to try & help him with the weekly challenges because he was getting frustrated and I didn't do any better.
A match that's 4 vs 7 at the start just gets worse - your team gets frustrated with being so far behind & you yourself get fed-up with being killed 6 x by several people. You then start losing players, which makes it even worse & if someone new joins, most of the time, they'll instantly switch to the winning team.
My son having had 5 games like this so far this morning & watched me having the same problems, has just told me not to bother trying again, as he hates the game & won't play it anymore now ☹

My last year in GW2 was like that. You might be surprised how many enemies you can make, if you’re not careful..
I had more people cuss me out in GW2 for making servers less lopsided than anywhere else in life.
- @ToastedSarnie Yeah, I often feel bad for the losing team if it's too lopsided. If youre playing on xbox, I can add you and help your son win some games.
- @spIash_damage I don't think I've come across people like that yet. Though, I come across people who call me trash or other names if I get more kills than them. But I imagine those are the 12 year old games that yell everytime they lose, so I just ignore them 🙂
- @mikepal19 That's so nice of you to offer to help! I'm not sure if my son will carry on tbh, will see what mood he's in tomorrow 😂
My tag's the same as in here - you're welcome to add me if you want, it's always good to have some allies! @ToastedSarnieI just added you.. GT is vito
- @mikepal19 👍 Think I've just found that! Idk why, but don't seem to get Xbox notifications of followers anymore unless I go into the app - really annoying!! 😂
