you need to be able to disable joining ongoing matches.

this is dumb AF.I dont want to join others games and clean their mess.make an option for it

[T9]

casual mode is supposed to be a pure mess according to other players and psyonix

we have to deal with it

[Shadowspaz]

Why is it bad to play three minutes of warmup in a match that doesn't matter before a fresh one starts?

The option is called "RANKED".

Joined a 0:2 game last night.
We finished 4:2. ^^

A few games earlier, I joined a 0:5 game and we finished 1:7 xD.

Because something that works as intended clearly needs repairs, or what?

match after match filled with bots, joining as spec in a lobby 3vs3 with bots 0 sec match time left, people loaded in the next match without even check "ready" then leave, starting a new match - players replace bots at 4:50 instead of start @ 5:00 for "some reason"

this is CLEARLY working as intended

Dude just play ranked I mean the whole point of Casual is that it's supposed to not matter whether u win or not as long as u have fun Hence the name "casual"

If one team is nothing but bots and a human isn't joining, it ends in forfeit. Otherwise, it tends to fill up with humans fairly quickly.

This is how joining works. Players join as a spectator, targeting the bot they replace, and after three seconds, they replace them. If the game is ending, there isn't time to join. You'll be in for a fresh game, so this really isn't too different then just starting in a fresh game anyway.

This is how games continue. If you don't explicitly ready up, the match will still start at 0. If someone goes AFK for a while, they won't ready up, the match will start, and they'll be kicked for idling. You can't blame the system for people that don't pay attention.

This is an issue? It found a lobby with enough people to start, and started. Then it filled in the gaps as soon as possible. The point is just to get a game going ASAP, and you're complaining that it took an extra 10 seconds to fill with more players?

So yes- This is working as intended. I know this argument has been made before, but if you're looking for a Rocket League experience with strict rules, no bots, and punishment for people leaving, then you are literally describing ranked.

The advantage in ongoing matches, it take less time.

For what it's worth, I don't have much of an issue with including an option for this. As long as it defaults to false, I think the people that would use the function are a small enough minority that it wouldn't impact the feel of casual, and it would eliminate the people that just ragequit if they're in a game with three minutes left. So the atmosphere of the games would likely improve, as well.

It would create an imbalance, though. If these people are free to drop out whenever they want, but only join new matches, then they'll be leaving holes without filling any. From a design perspective, this sounds questionable. So maybe the option could disable leaving casual matches as well, but... Whoops, I'm starting to describe ranked.
