Seriously, this has to stop. I’ve lost too many legendary and ultra rare game win boosts because I got stuck in a losing 60-20 game.
why are you risking win boosts in BTB?
Because he can get a decent amount of req points I would assumes

Yup. And I don’t want to play against a bunch of sweeties without playing with some too.

That sucks. I know the exact pain that happens when you end up wasting a boost on an already started game. They need to figure out how to fix that.
Either:
- Return the boost if you join an ongoing game
or - Force matchmaking to wait for a new match before putting you in with a boost (Either gambit or mission).

And not the point btw. Doesn’t matter if it’s BTB or Team Slayer, if I join a losing game with a win bonus it’s wasted.
Wait for the “deploying” countdown before selecting your boost card. If you don’t get the countdown then it means you are JIP. That is the only way to know whether or not it is safe to use a boost card.

Yup. 343i really should institute some sort of return system if you join a game IP, but this is a full-proof method to prevent it from happening. I’ve been doing this for quite awhile now.

You’re right. I tried it, and it works.
dude this throwing blame onto JIP has to stop. OP you are an idiot.
there is a clear way to tell if youre joining a game in progress (see above). its really obvious in the game lobby and i feel bad for anyone (not really) that doesnt acknowledge this and remove their boost. so first off, its user error from the get-go.
secondly you did not “loose” your boosts because of JIP. not only could you have avoided it to begin with, but thats the point of achievement based boosts- sometimes you dont get them. youre just complaining about something trivial. how do you know for sure that if you had joined a normal game that you wouldve got you boost? you dont!
If youre worried about BTB arena boosts you are sadly misguided. even a legendary arena boost hardly gives you anything, and it should not be enough to cause you so much rage. you will get more boosts, in fact if you keep playing they are infinite. get the sand out of your -Yoink!- and breath, its not that big of a deal.
JIP is not to blame here, it is those who are quitting on loosing teams. if it werent for those quitters you wouldnt have the problem. JIP is trying to solve the problem of unfair and uneven games. that is its purpose, and it works great. its purpose is not to help people get boosts, or help put people into winning games. the nature of this game is cowards quit when they are loosing, and then you are patched in and furious that you lost your boost. you should be furious with the -Yoink!- that left, not JIP. your rage is misplaced
once again, listen to the people above telling you not to waste your win boosts. going into BTB is almost never a sure win unless you have at least 5 or 6 others. wait until you have a full team or go into arena to use your boosts. you wont get placed into any loosing games in regular arena.
I feel the pain…
