2v1/3v1 "traps" in custom lobbies

[🔴3̲ 0̲ % ᗜˬᗜ]

Hello,
For some reason I'm only noticing this now, but recently I've experienced a lot of these: custom public lobbies, usually FFA, where a pair of friends are present and will not attack each other during the match (I even had a 3v1 that way once), effectively making it a 2/3v1. Even worse, sometimes they'll change the lobby's rules after you arrive to a teamgame without friendly damage.

I'm only posting here because it happens litteraly 3-4-5 times a day (where I'll play 15-20 games a day on avg)
I wanted to know if some other players have noticed an increase in these traps as well, and, well, also wanted to discourage others from doing that kind of thing. It's a waste of time, obviously bad for training, and 90% of the time you're gonna end up fighting a cpu. I feel like there's so much blue mammoth could do in the way of fair play tips etc... Like helping new players understand that they can make a custom lobby private instead of banning everyone from it, auto disconnect from a lobby after 5mn afk, tips to discourage spam/passive play, ability to hide individual lobbies from the list etc etc... I know there's a lot of children playing this game, but there has to be a way to educate them to some degree; I mean through the game's interface, popups or whatever.

they are public costum lobbies im sure it happens all the time and ffa is bad for trianing anyways, overall its them having fun and no reason to change it

It hurts the community and the game as a whole; I believe there IS a reason to change it, they're having "fun" at the expense of other player's time... Honestly friendly 2v2 is the worst 2v2 training and it is, as can be expected, crawling with spammers; public custom lobbies are the best place to meet new players; asking for more fair play is only natural

If you join a lobby and realise they’re teaming up against you, just press esc and leave the lobby/game and move on
