Re: Team Switch Hourly Limit

It depends on how much a person has contributed to the match in terms of vanquishes [not streak] and healing (healers and high vanquish numbers tend to cause an immediate switch). However, the issue with players switching almost immediately is quite problematic; especially on the east coast when players not from the area show up or their game accounts look like alts. There are particular players who only play druid rose or only arctic trooper I noticed; yet their ranks jump from 1700 to 3600 within a day despite being on the same server and character for 7 hours. The detonation characters can be occasional server nuisances as it begins to walk a fine line between someone trying to get easy kills or the other option of covering up as a hacker. I have seen wall hack exploits so these guys can see where opponent's character models are so that they are easier to kill, but again they are rare.

    Re being switched from one team to other, I find it rather tiresome as when having topped the list in terms of vanquishes I find myself on exactly the same character team (eg. Zombies) as the one I was on before.  It’s annoying particularly when it happens 5 times in a row, precisely (...and not to bang on about it…) because I came out top. I’d far prefer to change to the opposing character team.

    Talking of which. What I do find odd re these reward icons is how they are distributed.

    On the occasion when having got the vanquish streak icon and ending up with the same amount of vanquishes as the guy with the highest amount of vanquishes. He gets the vanquish master icon rather than I. 

    In that instance, I was wondering whether the game distributes these icons according to some additional criteria such as kill ratio or number of XP or even a weighted combination of all three. But then again that does not always seem to be the case as it seems to occur rather haphazardly, but it would be nice to get a clearer picture of what it takes to get a particular icon.
