Join In Progress (JIP) is a bane to many serious players and often frustrating to most casuals. In many cases the spot vacated is because a team is getting thrashed and a player quits. Often they wait until the game is all but determined, then quit. So players dropped into games late often have enough time to get their selves oriented just in time to lose the game. Personally I don’t mind that much, but I thought it would be nice to compensate players that get dumped into games. I have a few proposals.
Have a toggle for JIP, if players opt-in all their arena games grant 10% more exp & req points; all their warzone games grant 5% more exp & req points. - If players JIP the game will not count as a loss. (Exception if rejoining a game or joining party/company members) - If players JIP they get rewarded exp & req as if they had been in the game its entire duration - If players JIP they get a bonus 250 exp & req for arena games or 500 exp & req for warzone games - If players JIP boosts will automatically be deactivated before starting. (Great if you would have wasted it, but bad if you JIP early in a game and dominate)
I agree I t needs tweaks, but not how you described. I notice that I’ve joined matches where multiple players have left, so before I join the teams are 6players red team and 4 players blue team, what team would I be put on?..
Red?? I felt super bad because I just helped them get even more wrecked haha. Can’t believe it prioritised the team with more players
Correct me if I’m understanding this wrong, but you want to ultimately give those who join a game late more than those who played the whole game? I’d have no problem with a JIP preference toggle existing, but the benefit to having JIP on is you find games faster, why reward them even further with more stuff than the non JIP players get? It doesn’t make sense to me.
Also, if I’m not wrong, this game doesn’t have JIP on ranked games, which I imagine is where most serious players are when they want to play seriously. As a casual player, JIP doesn’t phase me at all. I just wanna play, so if you’re going to stick me in a game already in progress to get me playing soon? go for it.

You are probably correct. I am trying to think if I have been put JIP’d into a ranked match lately and I can’t say I have (though I’ve been going for commendations in BTB so it has been a while since I have played rank).
I don’t think they’d all have to be implemented, and mostly the idea of added rewards would be if there was a toggle for it. To reward those who opt-in.

Yeah I agree with you that tweak would need to be prioritized over any of these.
I’d like the toggle idea too. Lost too many legendary boosts (XP, RP) after joining a late and losing game in progress. Nothing says “rage” like being forced into a game in progress with a legendary boost and a score of 100-800 with all bases captured by the opposition! And yes, this has happened to me a couple of times (way too many) as well as many more where I at least didn’t have a boost to lose.
Funny that I have yet to JIP a game where I am on the team with a good run (say 400-10, or so)…
while you cant jip in a ranked match, that doesnt make it less annoying to see your own teammates leaving having you on your own facing 5 enemies… and more often than not even when a player joins they either leave imemdietly or are even worse than the players that left, ruining the game even more…
