Either someone leaves outright and makes any further rounds for the remaining members near impossible to win (specially the cumulative points ones). OR they leave thinking they are eliminated when they actually aren't, a bug that happens every single f*cking game.

In the rare occasion that everything goes right, I still have to play through so many of the same rounds every game. Why is Big Shots and the Winter one with the 2 giant snowballs so prevalent.

And all of this for a chance to get 1/3 of a crown, when my winrate is not even double of a main show.

I really like squads and I don't really find enjoyment in the solo playlists anymore. I really hope midseason update brings some changes.

As I'm typing this and playing, I just qualified my team in Slime by getting first, only for ALL of them to leave next because they all fell into the slime... And I actually won solo... The Irony.

u/trichoglossusbee When is MT going to formally address issues with squads mode? The bug fix adding n+1 qualifying teams is so much worse due to the only finals being hex or thin ice 90% of the time now.

And why does big shots and SS have to be in nearly every episode? 6 rounds is becoming the new normal and it's really dragging games out. I barely see team game finals now because of uneven teams. It's been going on for enough time that some... any input would be nice.

Hey! I am not sure what you mean by formally other than my participation in this subreddit - do you mean on a bigger channel etcetera?

Today I am making an update post with progress and some other announcements, fixes to expect with the mid-season update, etc in just a couple of hours as it's been two weeks since my last one here. The N+1 fix (that is a good nickname for it) is completely temporary until we roll the full fix out for squads - something I mentioned on this subreddit yesterday as well. Reverting back a change is a very big process and although the experience is still frustrating (I completely understand that it is), we can't revert this change back only to roll a fix out shortly after - it's going to be a little bit more time, but not much longer until we squish this bug for good. It's my least favourite maybe ever.

For the rounds though - that's separate, and I'll pass that feedback on. I know that there'll be a new addition to the rotation for our next update on there, but adapting maps for it takes some time - we are constantly working on that though. In the meantime I'll see if the team can take a look at the round weighting there in general and see if it is really imbalanced. I'll quote your message for it and see.

Also u/-Voyag3r- let me know if the above information is useful to you too, and I will also pass your feedback on. Overall, Squads is still new and in it's infancy - there is a lot coming in the future, small changes in Mid Season, and big for future seasons.
