Agreed. Same here. Although, I understand the streaming community may want shiny collectables, costumes, emotes etc - I think the majority just love playing the sport.
It's almost like drop-ins should just be perpetual sessions that restart a game after 3 periods (without having to reload the game), so people can freely join and quit as desired. So when you select 'Drop-in' - it will toss you in an open session with an open position that matches your desired option. Game could be midway through the 2nd, could be almost over - so you play out the last few minutes and stick around for period 1 to start again.
Allowing people to quit and join during this open session would ensure it's always humans v humans.
Save all the matchmaking logic for clubs only and just have drop-ins as an 'open session' kind of vibe.
