Maybe it would work beter if they also incorperated a feature to matchmaking where you can select if you want to join in progress matches or not.

And also the idea of a parties only playlist seems to be a more viable option, but will not reduce people leaving games.

Im trying to find a fair way to make it so people like me can still play but maybe i just need to suck it up or find another way to fill my spare time

I see what your saying but look at it this way

If your against fully organised party then change your playstyle to ruin thier organisation

people get steamrolled so they learn to adapt

I guess i should take into account the fact that alot of new players are playing and i guess it wouldnt be alot of fun for them, i hadnt taken that into account due to pure frustration at not being able to get a game

I wouldnt compare sitting in corners and leaving games personally but i see where your coming from

I also didnt think this might be counter productive as it may stop people quiting but those players will most likely go sit in corners..........
