It is still there.
Most of my hotjoin games have auotbalancer everywhere.
Just bc ranks arnt visible in spectate mode anymore doesn’t mean ppl will magically stop stacking. Anyone can easily see which players are better than others and will continue to gravitate towards them.

That is absolutely correct.
Which makes no sense to remove ranks in the first place.

at least it will take a round or two before people start to recognize “better players” and start stacking.
removing ranks from spectator mode is a good change.
even worse: hotjoin didn’t disappear. the cancer of pvp

I feel the word cancer is being severely overused lately. What makes hotjoin cancer, exactly? Why is a place for people to test builds and get experience with the game before jumping right into ranked play a BAD thing? Why is a place where you can literally jump in, have some fun, and then leave as you see fit a negative experience that is hurting pvp?
I don’t understand what would make hotjoins cancer either. In addition to what Ehecatl said it’s also a fantastic way to get your daily quickly, and you don’t have to wait a minute or more simply to enter a match. There is also no less waiting time once your in the match before it begins. Anyway, this is about team switching.
Yes team switching is still a problem in my opinion. After a couple matches often the same players end up on the same team, because of manipulation of the spectate, and it sucks to be on the losing team.
I do my best to help that situation by, if I get autobalanced, just staying on the losing team and YOLO’ing it. I get the winner’s reward either way, so I don’t care too much if I just run ahead and get stomped repeatedly. (In fact, speeding up the process is probably more helpful all around.)

Did you want to delay team switching or do you want to remove team switching entirely?

you can’t test builds in hotjoin, because hotjoin uses different builds and useless players to test it on. forgot my traits once, went to test “new build” in hotjoin. won 1v5. wahu.
plus: the mode is not the problem. it’s the players. by using it to farm ranks, which also should be removed, btw. and zerging like stupid mofos all the time, they will not learn to pvp, ergo it is a flawed system to begin with and obviously does not fit the player base at all.
using an unranked SQ instead of hotjoin with rank progression and introducing a small/medium battle arena with no capture points would actually make more sense, since in SQ, you cannot teamswitch and in the battle arena, you can zerg all you want.

I just used a build that is 0/0/0/0/0 in a 1v5 in a team que. Everyone rage quitted but me and I still won.
i just went 1v35 without armor and weapons and still won! according to ladderboard, you do not even have one single win in TQ, and a 10/6 score in sq. i suggest you go back to pve and try soloing some skelks.

I merely stared at my enemy and won by 500-0. You need to go back to tutorial island and re-learn. According to ladderboard, you can’t even play.
i’m sure there ss an adequate scripter in the community, give us a computer for 5 mins anet and i’ll pay to fly them over there to spend the 5 minutes it’d take to disable team select and spectator.
or heck, give them an hour to put some decent "if"s and "or"s in there to make a decent system, enough of this exploitable garbage.

Some companies outsource these simple things. Much easier

Because it’s not serious I think, pvp is SO VERY SRSS!!
I think solo’qers are just mad that hotjoin folks are having more fun than them.
