Guild Wars 2

I was wondering the potential repercussions of having a system that allowed people to volunteer, or to vote members of your team to the bench.

For example: player on Red team disconnects, the game pops up with a “volunteer” option similar to hotjoin for the Blue team, but accepting it will send you to the bench to even up the teams. If the disconnected player returns, the benched player is then added back into the match.

To deal with AFKers, Teams having the ability to vote players onto the bench, and subsequently the opposing team would have to bench a player as well, to a maximum of 2 players benched per team. Perhaps a voting system to add players back into a match after issues are resolved. Along with a system to swap out benched and active players depending on how the match turns.

There is potential for abuse with this system, and I’m curious what the worst that could be done despite the fact the teams would “Always” be evenly matched. (until you get into build match ups, which might actually be examined more closely if this became a thing.)

I’m not really suggesting this be an option, but I am curious on people’s thoughts.

mmm…
it can be a new game mode for a posible teamq allowing quad and full team q, 4 v 4 and the posibility of one man in bench quad teams only get the disadvantage of not having situational swap for a better momentum but in field they are paired whith the full team, ofcourse the option of changing toons or builds midgame not allowed , dc plyers accidental or “volunteer” forced by sistem to log whith same toon and same build that start match and ofcourse making the swap can only be done in respawn point, player swaped had to run to respawn point exit and activate a swap button

for a solution of soloq dcers had a big problem, they are soloquers that want all to play no one grants the benched player swap or the simply question of who goes to bench and what they get for their “sacrifice” a vote sistem generates a loot of salt, and a random selections can generate big imbalancements in metas whit crucial clases like the healbot ele in anterior meta or simply losing the better player of team for the worse of the other or viceversa
