"Play Now" matches usually landslides
Hotjoin balance is left in the hands of the players making it a farming tool, spvp is still in beta.
What’s up with this? Most games I quick join are horrible landslides. Does anet even try to balance the teams based on anything other than size?
I wasn’t aware that there was even any particular attempts to balance according to team size. Solo matched often start with uneven numbers and once they are underway the chances of anyone joining the side with one man down are nil.

I’ve seen the autobalance thing pop up, where if you volunteer you get credit for winning. I assumed that was based on team size.
We need an unrated queue with hidden MMR
What’s up with this? Most games I quick join are horrible landslides. Does anet even try to balance the teams based on anything other than size? And why does it let you choose your team? I imagine people enter the game and just pick the winning team, or show up with their friends and all join the same team.
These are probably old topics, but I haven’t been following the forums lately.
sometimes, when there are few low rank players in the crowd, ppl see them by the end of one match, and then in next match they make sure they queue away from them. this often creates experienced vs newbie matches.
names of other players should be hidden, only score and may be rank.
If you mean hotjoin then Anet has nothing to do with it. Zero, nada. It is players who come in and out of games and if ten people are in map and the game ends those ten will be in the next one.
What ever anet might do about hotjoin would be quickly and immediately ruined by players though. Some people are so low as to be in a 4 VS4 game, start losing and swap to the winning team. Or lost once and leave the game making a balanced 5 VS 5 suddenly become a 5 VS 4 with GG to the lower number team.
Without enforced rules (like tourneys and Dishonor) humans just ruin everything they touch.
Wins/losses in hotjoin are completely arbitrary. =/
