I'm sure you've said that before. (https://community.pl...-go/#entry45746)
Are you going to *really* leave? or are you just seeking attention.
HTFU or GTFO.
The balancer is there for a reason. I'd rather you leave then the other people that were on the unbalanced team.

Switched guys should have a HC bonus, like early. And ragequitters shouldn't get HC. I mean just grab quitters HC and give it to the switchers :D
Actually, I hate switch. Because I play hard, kill all in siege, lead my team to win, and than I should do this again...btw, sometimes you win, than balancer put you in loser team, you made an epic comeback and win again! Sometimes it's funny. But I still don't love it.
Just people don't know, if you not leave from fight, you can win 10/0 in siege! People just not try... USA servers have a very big problem with ragequitters, 80% (or even more) matches player start leave from fight, they never try. i have a 60%+ win rate, and very often it was a win "in the last moment" (40/39 in TDM, 50/0 in siege, etc. suddendeath).
Devs should try find a way, how to explain nubs, that leave from fight, it is not good decision. And i still hink we should have something like "multiplier bonus". if player play several matches in a row and don't leave (win or lose, doesn't matter), he start multiply his HC bonus. Like second match +50HC, third +100HC, fourth +150, to maximum +200HC (or +150) for every next fight.
and, em1o... don't cry, be a man! sometimes it happened, nothing bad here.

It really is annoying. I've gotten switched 3 times in one game. Had it happen several times in the last month. I never quit a game no matter how bad it gets. Yeah I see a lot of players quit during the game now a days. Really pisses me off. It is nothing now to have 2 or 3 or more people in a game quit. I've had 2 people quit on our side. 2 more join. 2 more quit. And we still won. And sometimes we lose. Just too far behind at that point. There are times I WANT to. But I don't. Now if it just keeps happening, I'll leave when the match is over. I can understand how the autoswitch can annoy the hell out ya. It does me too. I usually do it. But not if the match is almost over and someone on their side quits just so they don't get a lost match on their record. That pisses me off too.

Feel you, just because some palyers cry to get stomped. If I get switched without me wanting that -> instant leave.
The kills I made (and deaths) should be carried over to the other team, then I might stay if the team is not too dumb.
its ok

Funniest thing is when you fight well and enemy team leaves and therefore you get switched. After that you manage to turn around the game and just before carrying home a victory you get switched once more and be defeated.

Sorroritas, I've had that happen too. I was so mad I could have ate nails. Yeah FakeName, that is a great idea. But I'm not holding my breath for them to do that. It would be perfectly fair. You want me to switch? Give my my kills and points and sure. :D

Well Hawken is a game and it's single purpose is for one's personal enjoyment.
I'm absolutely fine with players leaving because they are unhappy with the current match.

Unfortunately, Players getting switched is and will be a fact of life here until the player base starts to increase (which it will) and the dev's can implement some type of safeguard to deter people from quitting matches early.
When teams become unbalanced due to quitters, more players should take the initiative to volunteer when asked before the auto balance kicks in. (though I realize that at times it just happens without warning) but other time it doesn't.
When these things happen, I just suck it up, and hope the next match becomes a balanced affair (helps when players try to stay in a server for more than 1 match)

I'm sorry, but boo-f*cking-hoo.
It's only a goddamn game and I'm sure you'd tell anybody else to 'suck it up' if they got switched.
Christ people, just sometimes...

Balance does not equal to your personal enjoyment. To make the round fair for everyone someone gets switched, and while maybe you think it suck because you're not gonna stomp - suck it up, it is in place to make the majority happy.
take it as a time to shine, they expected to stomp, now your overthere about to be ready, motivated enemy team has blur vision they want to choo choo around lookin for a stomp but ince you had inside intel you know how to counter just have a blast, underdog? try usin gren revgl direct hits or mabey vanguard turret mode smc and orbs"internals then they better bring 4+

TF2 has the feature. I see no problem with it, and I (usually) don't have a problem with it when it happens to me; Cos It means you're kickin' ass.
(Granted, TF2 also has a vote system where the server can vote to turn it off or not, and other stuff. HAWKEN pls.)

I like how the title of the topic says, "...with No Warning."
B.S. Unless you had just joined the match and instantly got switched after spawning... you were warned. There was a big message right across the middle of your screen that asked you to volunteer to switch by pressing F12. Since neither you nor anyone else on your team had the honor to do the right thing, the game took the best suited player to make balanced teams and moved them.
To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

There are some strange shenanigans on private servers where players can get team switched with no notification and without even dieng. A few times on the sg-24 server I've gone to deliver EU only find that the base I left no longer likes me.

but really that's because I'm a fuzzy bunny and leave on autobalance for siege. When players are joining a big server like that teams can get really unbalanced until the next match but people hated it anyway so it has since been disabled.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?
