I just got out of 2 consecutive matches, Stockpile and slayer, where most of my dropped out either right before the matches started or right after. And nobody replaced them. I played stockpiile 2 vs 4, not very fun. 2 people camped our base while the other stockpiled. Then slayer... 1v4, yeah... that really blew. about five minutes of me getting my @ss pounded... or more appropriate, teabagged. really cool to get tea bagged in a four way pwn bang. This really shouldnt happen. Either drop people in who are looking for a queue, or start the match over. Something.

they definitely need a way to make this work better.... i constantly have people leaving my team cause they don't want the game type or something.... dropping in new players isn't fair to them due to the fact they will be forced to join an already losing team..... but there should definitely be a backup protocol that says when a team is reduced to halve the original size the game backs out and trys to find more members.... although this could cause problems by making you have to keep going back to a menu due to team drops.

In the matches I've played where members of my team have left early I noticed that you get a huge amount more experience at the end of the match even if you didn't win.

I disagree
I played a Swat Game
-A Guy left
-A Guys Guest left

We still won, 2 on 4!

Not really, the only time i would see it unbalanced is in CTF and Crazy King

Actually in any slayer match having less people is always better. Less chances for the opposing team to gain points. In CTF or King of the Hill though you are right fucked if you are a man short.
