Summarize your bug Social-Party functions place members on the wrong team, or they are removed from your party-squad and placed on the wrong team after death, or in this situation, both.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You'll probably have to go through the logic coding for this one. Can try rewalk my steps, but through matchmaking? it's not a reliable system, good luck.
What happens when the bug occurs? Social-Party members are forcibly team-swapped mid-game, and not to the party-leaders team, but instead to the team with less party members on it (1 Attacker & 2 Defenders ---> 2 Attackers & party-leader defending)
What should be happening instead? Party members should be placed together as best possible, prioritizing the party-leaders team.
Social-Party functions act illogically.
I create a party, and Matchmake into Renewal Breakthrough, solo.
A friend naturally joined the opposing team via matchmaking.
They joined my party in the social menu. It didn't exit & re-enter the match (which is OK), they chose to leave and rejoin on my team through the party autojoin. We are now both on DEFENSE together.
A second friend joined the party, and entered on ATTACK via the party auto-join server function. They may have been queued.
Once my first friend, on my team (DEFENDER) died, they were team-swapped, back to ATTACKER. I was left on DEFENSE for the match remainder, playing against the 2 friend who joined in my party.
The social party functions should place party members together, and should not force-swap party members away from the party leaders team, while visa-versa would be positive.
