Take away “switch teams” temporarily
I don’t know if the intention for this was for people to help the lesser team. I can assure you that’s not how it’s getting used 99%of the team. That number is not an exaggeration by any means. I ...

@ToastedSarnie How is that possible if when the opposing team has more players and you try to switch it doesnt let you because you can only switch teams if you are in the outnumbering team , so a 6v6 can at most turn into a 5v7 not a 4v8
@marche567A lot of the problems start with a minor imbalance as you say, then get worse as people leave & join, as new joiners have the ability to switch & will mostly automatically choose the stronger side.
Hope that makes a bit more sense!

There are a couple of options we've discussed in the past that might help with this.
1) Anyone joining a match after it's started should automatically be placed on the team with fewest players, WITHOUT an option to switch teams
2) If people drop out creating an imbalance, there could be some kind of incentive offered for players to switch as needed to ensure teams are even
3) The lobbies are repopulated by AIs until a new player joins and replaces them - this is something that was introduced into the Soil Survivors town hall event in GW2 quite successfully
- @ToastedSarnie Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I briefly remembered these options being mentioned in other topics. I had hoped that my post would bring out more solutions from others and it did.
Removing this feature will hurt me a lot because I won't be able to play with @ToastedSarnie every time. 😳
