Why only "wins with full squad" stat? another way to punish solo queue?

Why not just add a champion win stat?    Getting champion by yourself or with two players down a man seems like a higher achievement to me.

I have actually got champion where a guy quit right before match ended and then I didn't get the win recorded.   SO lame.    

Seems like this is just another way to punish people trying to play this game solo,  which is what 90% of gamers are doing.   This is how you create an elitist community in the playerbase that will drive the rest away.

Stats don't make people think they are better then others.  That is a carebear mentality.  Stats are what make sports period.   People like to see their progress no matter how bad it is.  More stats are always better.

  But when they know that certain people are favored over others by the developers themselves because of who they know.   Thats a huge problem.

  • Or at least find a way to form a pre-team ranndomly or a chat lobby to group find with.

    A chat lobby will get toxic real quick.  Just look at DOta's public chat lobby.  Its unusable.

    Respawn probably already knows this though, because just like in league of legends,  titanfall 2 removed its public chat lobby for the same reasons.

    But I think staying in the same group you are in if having a good match would be a nice option.  And only opting out if you don't like the group.  This will give a chance to play a couple more matches with those players before deciding to friend them.  And would encourage people to stay together.

    And there definitely needs to be an easier way to friend them.  Then going to desktop and trying to type their name out in origin and searching their profile lol..

  • To be able to just press “play again with same squad” after a nice game with good random teammates would be such a great addition to this game.

    sure would.  I would even go further and just automatically put people in  same squad unless they opt out.  lol.  Be a much easier way to find people to add to friends list too.

    I see the wisdom in respawn adding the win stats like this.  I was wrong.  This is actually a good thing.  It actually promotes team play not discourages it.

    When I watch the good players stream on twitch,  they usually don't care at all about their teamates and leave them to die.  And mop up the competition by themselves. Or two guys who don't res their 3rd cause they think hes not worth it.    I don't want to see these selfish losers get a win stat.     Let them play 12 hours a day only padding their kills lol.


    In pro atheltic sports you need all players on the field or its a forfeit or disqualification no matter what.  I know this hurts me too,  but it still encourages me to want to keep the other players in my match.

    Unless of  course I'm just doing a hot drop suicide and give two craps about winning.....  For those people this does not apply.  But I do see why respawn added it like this.

  • This is a sticky situation. I can see both sides of this. I too would like to see my total wins. The problem is there are many people who care too much about stats. They would drop out of matches immediately if they saw a player with a low amount of wins.

    If they do add this feature, they should definitely abstain from adding total matches played or any way to calculate a win percentage.

    The way it is now is probably the best way.
