How do you feel when players leave your team midgame?

Used to report some of those people, but not anymore. But I'd only do it if it was a close game and somebody was inactive from the very start.

Now I'm much more sympathetic to the frustration people feel because many times it is pointless. Most of times it's pretty obvious when the game is over: when the other side has titans with flamer/ bendy bullet weapons and yours doesn't. Or the game has barely started and you already have shenlous/raptors and/or curies with electric weapon raiding your spawn point. I never leave the game but might pause dropping my bots in such cases.

Nothing against the people who want to fight it out to the end, your choice. But when it's pointless I want to end it as soon as possible and move on to another game.

As mentioned, 2 or more eiffels with bendy bullets appear and there's just no point continuing. I don't mind if no one drops anymore bots.

600m range on those weapons is just another blatant money grab and was unnecessary.

Same goes for the subduers that still keep 600m range and full damage output whilst the other versions drop back to 500m for "balance reasons".

Shenlou's are also a massive issue when you have lower ranked members in your team. Again, I don't mind if they bail. I will bail myself in some situations.

After 3 losses in a row from exactly this phenomenon, I can safely say that quitters suck.

Unless you're getting spawn raided by a clan.

Also. There's a possibility that you haven't met the hacker, or hackers yet.
Wishing for your team to help is one thing. Dealing with the hacking bs-is beating your head against a wall. So, for me it's a "eh" move on to the next game. Or put device down.

It's become typical to be battling away and POOF! most of your team is just gone. Used to be common if there was a huge disparity in the power balance - which Pigsonic is so good at arranging - but now it is just part of the game culture.
Maybe I'm seeing the AIs that leave early, can't say I've noticed them.
It's sad to see, otherwise I just try to get my kicks testing my builds or move on to some other entertainment. The Tanking and Leaving culture is purely Pig's fault.

I don't judge anyone for bailing out. I'm guilty of it too.
I will say though, that I've seen matches turn around quickly, even when I thought there was absolutely no hope.
You never know if you have a super-meta player on your team that can turn the tide, literally by him/her self. (Just shows how OP some equipment is!)
And sometimes those matches can turn out to be the best.
So lately, I tend to stick with it no matter how bad it looks.

I know your frustration, believe me... But think of it this way... In most matches there are 1 or 2 big dogs on each side. Sometimes the big dog is you and sometimes it's someone else. You don't know the skills of any players on either side. So why not help out the big dogs and win the match? I mean... the ultimate goal is to win, right? There is always something to do. Grab a beacon, hold a beacon, act as a deterrent, healing, buffing, etc. If you're just looking to be number 1 on your team, that's the wrong mindset.

Obvious cheating is different. We all know what that looks like. Sometimes cheating is not so obvious. And for that I would rather stay in the match. You never know how it will turn out.

About 3 weeks ago there was a video titled "#dont_quit". I laughed and laughed til I ran out of tears. I uninstalled 2 weeks ago, still going strong (MW 5 helps). Clans in October yay!

MW5 is an awesome game, but I played single player only. It gets too repetitive after a while (three types of missions only) even though you unlock new mechs. 

Be careful what you wish for with clans because that feature alone can derail online game if not implemented properly. It certainly killed War Robots Frontiers for me.  

I always have and always will look down on leavers. Every player should know that when they press that orange button, they are not guaranteed a good battle, and we all need to accept that. The only times I ever leave are against an obvious hacker (infinite ability Hellburner flying everywhere) or a total death squad (spawn raiding within a minute), and even then I do not always bail. If I am getting frustrated at constant bad matches, I finish my current game and then log off for the day. Better to do something else that is fun than keep bashing my head against a wall for good games, making the game worse for my 5 teammates every time.

You know how little kids are always eager to play a game with you, but then loose interest or forfeit when you gain a lead on them? Players who leave because they are losing remind me of that. You will have bad games, and the earlier you accept it the better you are.

I've been feeling same thing lately and getting burned out by this. Meta on the other side, 2-3 crisis campers on my side. Still, I do not take leaving matches lightly but if nine out of ten games are 「dookie」 like that it makes you wonder if it's time to leave the game altogether.
