Joining matches in progress

I decided to join a warzone match to get my win for the day. The first game I join, the enemy team already has all 3 bases, core is at 15%, and my team is down 4 players from quitters. Worst of all, I used a victory boost. That’s an issue and it happens more than it should.

I really think there needs to be some sort of scanning on matches to see how far they’re into the match and the advantage each side has. I don’t want to join a game blindly, hoping to get a fresh match, and end up being thrown into a 100/900 match, which, by the way, happens way too much. What are your thoughts on this situation?

Pro tip: Don’t select your boost until the countdown timer starts. No timer = jip

I didn’t know this until last week it really has come in handy

it doesnt take/use your boost if you get joined in progress

It has taken mine multiple times

Never use mission victories unless you’re playing with a Fireteam.

It doesn’t for me either. Weird issue that it works for some and not others.

Here is my theory: The game purposely puts you in unwinnable games so you’ll lose since it’s trying to balance out your w/l ratio. Just like on the more rare occasion you’ll be put in a winning game.
