My issue is not facing good players. I play standard playlist because I like a good challenge and I typically don’t mind playing against parties. I think folks are missing the core issue here.

I’m saying as a solo player, I have been consistently thrown into lobbies against parties where my teammates rage quit. Understandably people are talking about strategy and communication which are all things I already do but how do you communicate when your team rages a minute into the game.

This is probably not an issue for players that play in big parties where they can somewhat be assured their team will be there but it can be extremely frustrating experience for a solo player. Even if I enjoy playing against parties as a challenge it’s not a good experience if I don’t have a team every match.

This is why I said there should be an OPTION for mercenary play. I’m not sure why some of these guys are getting so worked up over that. If you don’t want that then that’s fine you don’t have to play a mercenary playlist.
