Apologies if this is old news, but I've not seen this before: Attachment Deleted8 players on one team (two zero scored) and seven on the other (one zero score). Is this a new development to drop new players in if someone leaves without making a contribution? |

Did the players that left leave before or after countdown end?

I saw this too, too bad it isn't 8 vs 8 matches, that would be sick.

Did the players that left leave before or after countdown end? Not sure to be honest - I rushed of to take up position and hadn't paid much attention to the player count at the top. It was only at the end of the match that I saw this. Had lots of games where players have dropped out before the countdown and been replaced, but never seen more than six listed on the post-match summary. |

Just saw this for the first time this morning. I've been dropped in late before (up to 30 seconds iirc) but I've never seen more than 6 players listed in the match summary.
I agree with your speculation: this probably is part of tracking ditchers.

A thought that just occurred - I wonder if the players in positions 7 and 8 were allocated any league points(+/-)?

I just seen this in a FB forum and slid over here to get a bit more insight myself. im figuring this is an attempt by the developers to 'even-out' the sides of battle participants diring any given walk/battle. |

I just had a 5v6 where I was the late joiner, and it was really an 8v7 on the screen... I was on the 5/8 side so I have three people to be P.O.'d at.
A heads up from PIX on this would be nice... a FB post, a Tweet, smoke signals, a message in morse code spelled out in empty vodka bottles.

Was going through clan chat on Discord just now 11:16 am GMT -5. Clan mate on Android had the same thing happen earlier this morning. 8 on the opposition side.
Curious.

ok just to share, im using 5 KF hangar and only play on DC and PP map. now if you leave the game even before the timer finish you are already registered on that game and if you leave it will register on your stat 0 kill and 0 damage. also it will register as lose or win depends on the outcome of that match.. PX now want players to play all map and never skip or else it will affect your stats  |

(puts on flame-?special?ant underwear) Is retardant really getting filtered, or did you just spell it wrong? If it is, thats short bus special |

The fracking filter doesn't seem to check for whole words. I saw Boo-Boo Kitty's name get censored here because of the first four letters!

I think Pix is just keeping track of people who skip maps. Probably adjust MM to place more popular maps more often maybe?

Some clan mates speculate that one way the MM forces players down to 50% is to give them Springfield and lousy teammates more often when their win rate gets above 60%. I haven't checked this statistically (it did sometimes seem like I'd get it 4+ times in a row), but this would only work if they stopped folks from skipping maps.

If this is an attempt to make you play all maps no matter what, I see me quickly losing interest in playing. It bad enough we are forced to play heavy mechs if you are in the upper tiers, I'm not being forced to play all maps.

I refuse to play all the maps and will not care about my stats anymore, if we get penalized for skipping maps.
I don't know about you guys, but my definition of fun isn't sitting in a Trident Fury for 10 minutes.
Pix already took away our ability to play lights and mediums with success and forced us to play Griffins, Furies, Carnages, Rhinos, Galahads and Lancelots. Now Pix wants to force us to take part in the extremely boring 'task' of throwing a salvo of Tridents every 12 seconds. I wonder what crap Pix will give us next...

I think it is clear leauges will never work while MM can pick your opponents of any level and weapon strength and place them against you,if you are now being forced to play any map Pix decides you should play along with the opponents then we are canon fodder for TT's and Trebuchet Nats.It reminds me of online gambling,it is designed so you win a few and lose a lot.
Of course this is all speculation until Pix decides if they are going to explain it

I wonder what crap Pix will give us next... same here, i dont F* care about stats, im farming my golds and silver on those small maps. and yes i dont want to stand in 1 place and shot tridents for 5-10 mins per game. i found great fun playing with thunder carnage and acrobatic jumping griffin  |

I also like pickup games that last no more than 5 minutes. This is rarely the case on Yama and SF. If I have a match where the time runs out it is usually on these maps. |

They are supposed to give stronger opponents. Giving you lousy teammates would reward the lousy teammates for being lousy. |
