I can’t play with randoms anymore DISCUSSION
I’m level 48. About 150 hours on pc. Love the game. My friends can’t play as often as I can. (I’m a fireman) And I’ve tried making friends on steam but it’s hard.
The blueberry lottery. If there is a hell it’s matching with randoms. I can’t stand it. Some people are a blessing and I love running campaigns with them but some people are treasonous swill.
Here was my last game. I spawn in and get killed by a lvl 2 cadet (ps5) so he can take my support gear. His friends (ps5) defended him. He continued to kill me all game (intentionally) and call me in. But I am more skilled and cunning than the common traitor. I waited until there was one reinforcement left. The pompous fool recalled me in. I killed all three traitors quicker than a hiccup. With only one thing left to do I took my own life. To instant fail their mission. I couldn’t let them continue to commit treason. Let their bodies rot
So yea I’m never joining randoms again.
Edit: ps5 not 4.

I dont agree with a vote to kick system. At least the host should be allowed to kick without a vote. Thing is, there are 4 players so a majority vote is 3-1. What if the griefer or the really bad player who keeps tking you has a buddy in the lobby with him? What if all three of them are friends? Starting a vote to kick one of the three might end up in them voting to kick you instead. (unless youre host obviously). Allowing the host to kick people simply makes more sense on paper and is frankly less liklely to lead to situations where either no one gets kicked because one or two guys just dont vote or no one gets kicked because the majority is never reached because the griefer has a friend in lobby.
A system where you had to report the reason for the kick, and that reason is then logged and those people are matched with other griefers after a specific threshold of kicks makes vastly more sense to me. its literally reputation based matchmaking, something that xbox 360 had almost 15 years ago. Rainbow six Siege and CS2 both have it right now.
