only if you volunteer
Without auto-balance, hotjoins would be one-sided and non-competitive.
Oh wait…we already have that with auto-balance.
Kudos to Anet for solving nothing, but adding this additional aggravation to the already one-sided, non-competitive, and bad-habit forming waste that is called hotjoin.

That is incorrect, even people who do not autobalance get full win rewards.

You lose the reward only if you hit “no I don’t want to volunteer.” If you ignore it or click balance me then you get full reward. Apologies for not being specific enough, thought this was well known enough by now.

I have definitely not received the win bonus from being auto balanced without pressing either button but I guess this could have changed in the last 2.5 months?
Now that I think about it after that happened once and I learned about volunteer win bonus I have always clicked the button so it could have been up to a year lol.

Also, you get a small extra bonus on top of winner rewards (I think 25 rank points?) if you do volunteer and then get AB’d.
It’s not fun to get switched over and get repeatedly stomped by the dominating team (that you were part of), but at least your loot from the match doesn’t get unfairly reduced.
