Stop giving me these useless teammates

I had three games back to back where a player lands with us, walks off for a bit and quits within 2 minutes. I don't mean gets downed and quit. No. Just walks off a bit and quits. Games where we've...

lol This reminds me of this Fuse I had on Straight Shot. My teammate and I are fighting at the door of train station in Fragment. We down one, my teammate gets downed and boxed, I have to heal, I go back, re-down him, have to heal again, while asking Fuse if he's ever gonna help us fight. Fuse shows up, I go down one more, while Fuse is just standing there watching, at the door, a few meters next to me. No knuckle thing, doesn't shoot, just watches. I get downed to the last guy, and now Fuse runs away. Bruh... Well, good thing Straight Shot had no abandon penalty.

Then on the other hand, I had this awesome Loba player one game, and we won. Then randomly got her again the next day, and I go: "Wait, I remember this Loba. Can't remember if it's a good memory or a bad memory though. I'll assume it's a good one and we won our game." We then proceeded to win again. Actually did stuff, +1000 dmg, a couple of kills, and just generally played well.

I need to be better at sending people a party invite in these (rare) cases.

@CCbathwater Haha I hate those ones where I absolutely carry a team then get invites.

But then I have games where it may look like I got carried, and then I'm reluctant to add those players because I'll look like those carried scrubs 🤣

If we manage to get like 5 kills each I'll send. But I've had games where we all absolutely smash it, party up and get erased immediately 3 games straight then we all just leave 😭

  You are all making me feel good about my decision to stop playing about 2 weeks ago. All your stories pretty much happened to me during my last rage inducing session. Game after game of ridiculous teammates doing idiotic and useless things while being matched up against three stacks of masters/preds/smurfs/cheaters. I didn't even get the 1 in 20 good game and I just couldn't take it anymore.

  @1ronKeys That's the party effect. When you were randoms the lobby was easier. You invite and now you are a premade and wham the MM increases the difficulty.

    @hayhor It's very rare that such matchmakes and games occur... as I play solo lobbies all the time
    
    And in fact a lot of those games where we done well we're actually a lot more balanced. Some weren't of course. But still.
    
    Tbh I don't mind getting a bit of mixed skill because you need it to learn and grow and make the experience varied. But often it seems to lean towards unideal manifestations of this idea.
