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 ...

@AWMaxSterlingYou're right about the challenges affecting the team swap issue even more. But apart from the reasons why players swap the result is killing the game. I don't see the point why a whole lobby should be nearly unplayable due to a few players challenges. Most character challenges can be done in PVE as well. If they are bound to PVP modes why not wait one round when teams swap anyway? Players would have to do that if team swap would be removed. Problem solved.
About statistics: Sure you are right. But devs should rely on feedback they are getting in forums. Apart from that they are having additional statistics ingame. And PopCap would be blind not to realize that issue.

As I stated above, players will not stay in a game... they will just quit and try to get into another match. Players are gonna play with whomever they want and if you're stuck on a crappy team, you're gonna get out one way or another.
Most feedback on the forums is what kills the player base. Every decision made is gonna kill off players... including things I type up here. We're all trying to make the game better here, unfortunately removing options is wrong. I recall a game removing the option to quit a game because people believed that would force players to stay and play in the game they were put into. Instead it lead to players turning off their system or disconnecting their internet... or just going AFK... which then lead to complaints about teams being short players. It's never as easy as taking away the option to switch teams... which eventually turns into other, worse issues because everything that sounds like a decent idea on the forum, is a half-arsed thought out plan that fails to see the whole picture.
