Drop In party change for 25
The drop in system is meant to be for people who are either playing by themselves or maybe with a friend to go in and enjoy a game of pickup 6v6. It should not be a place where full parties like this...

As for the issue sadly I don't think that will happen. I mean last year they combined Drop-Ins and EASHL so games could potentially be found faster because Drop-In players said they couldn't find games.
That's so wild, man. Back in the NHL12-14 days, you could EASILY find drop-in games. I feel like they've ruined the whole EASHL/WoC experience with too many modes but hey that's just my opinion.
I agree that teams queuing up together should just play club games. You already have a full team...
Well back in those days we had the lobby system too which yes many people have requested to return, but it hasn't become a thing. The lobby system is what made Drop-Ins less of a hassle and maybe slightly enjoyable to many.

The old system was very frequently trolled. It was rare to get into a game without someone choosing a position they had no intention of playing. So many times someone just sat in the middle delaying the game getting started and locking someone else out from playing. The old system was great when nobody trolled. Sadly, it wasn't that common. The new system of choosing your position resolves that and I'll take that any day over the old one. I think the main problem with drop-ins is that hardly anyone seems to take them seriously. It's open season for selfish gameplay and trolling. I definitely think changes are needed, but the old system would be a perfect solution.
