I have been playing for a year now and you guys still haven't fixed this. I guess I assume its always been like this. Well all I can say is wow. Terrible service.

    Its because of sync dropping and quitting. people quit or decline a qeue popup when they don't get qeued with the team they want.


    I just quit a match right now after 2 others quit on my team. no point in playing the match. can't blame them though when 2 players on another team were just mopping everyone up. nothing sporting about that.

    This has been an issue for years.

    Incredibly disappointing, and unacceptable, especially for people who pay a monthly sub and regularly support the game.

    I must say, over the past several months, this hasn't been a huge issue for me on Xbox na solo queue, even at high MMR.

    It definitely happens from time to time, but I'd say most games are full when they start. When they aren't, the empty slots seem to get filled fairly quickly. Even when someone quits, that slot seems to get taken up after a brief delay.

    But there are rare occasions where you start with three and go the vast majority of the game with three. I definitely hate it, but at least it doesn't feel very frequent. But I exclusively solo queue. I could see this being a bigger issue in group queue.

    I started a BG with no one else on my team before. Fortunately I was on my Gankblade and still managed to drop a little 15 bomb. There were a few players on the other teams who only had like 3 or 4 frags, so it could have been worse.

    It starting with three was the fix, it use to hang if a forth didn't join fast enough and not start at all.

    I had 3 matches last night, all 3 had only 3 people. We won only one of them. I have won matches with only 2 people before but thats not the point. It's broken AF.

    It seems to replicate on a group queue.

    Imagine being forced into a random only dungeon (no specific) with 2 or 3 people and getting a penalty for refusing.

    I loved BGs, except for the failure of the product to perform as advertised 4v4v4. It was built off dungeon GF, and Redtalon is right this is the solution to the whole system failing and leaving you in the que. I can also see how high mmr, who have a wait for matches, would prefer just getting in versus sitting in que not knowing if you're stuck or in a long wait.

    Random was different before two more modes were introduced. Allow Deathwatch as a choice please. I have no interest in BGs in the current state, they're a mess.
