Hotjoin

Short window to play in? New build? Drunk? There are many reasons to hotjoin over solo arena, but it is absurdly hard to do so.

When I start playing, I find the first 9/10 game and join. It is usually the round end, map switches and 7/10 players leave. Play 1v2 for a while, it sucks, people join and sit in spec so they can stack to the 2 side once some sucker joins and evens the teams. 400-90, round ends, 7/10 people leave.

Back to the server list, find a new 9/10, lather, rinse, repeat. No server stays populated past one map, stacking is too easy, 2v4 is too common. Solutions required, I spend as much time loading new games to get out of 1v2s as I do playing 5v5s.

Sounds like you should try the ‘Play Now’ button. It prioritizes servers that are just starting a map, has playable space, and is the same server other people will hop into when they use ‘Play Now’ so that they’re usually never empty and/or fill up quickly.
