Another Rant - Randoms still dont know how to use weapon lockers / rotate weapons on lockers.
Two gunners and me (sniper) with a lvl 3 locker. Locker has 2 trishots and my other long shot on. I goto take off a tri, drop, replace with empty longshot, pick up tri and replace full longshot - like ive done the last few times. Gunner see me half way through and takes tri and replaces before i can. He drops my empty longshot on the floor and starts knifing me.
Please noobs (he was re up 15ishgunner lvl 18ish - i would have hoped he’d have know better) try to learn how to use lockers.

I too am tired of hosts kicking players out once in. Not even given a chance to play a wave. I’m at the point where I’ll report a bad host for something just for being a jerk. Public hosts should be rated.
Yeah sometimes don’t understand the kneejerk kicking either. Just innocently trying to get a game to get the guaranteed gold card from the daily Escape on Labyrinth. Enter as lvl 18 Veteran because I wanted the card for him, BOOM! Kicked instantly. Host couldn’t have even had time to check my re-up or anything it was so fast. Maybe a few classes such as Marksman or Tactician can make Labyrinth a bit easier, but it’s not like it’s considered one of the “difficult” hives, nor does it call for a specific class as you’re only locking the wardens behind doors. Don’t see why Veteran should be worse than any other class. In fact his ult with a longshot could probably clear the final encounter by himself. Found a different game a few mins later and got through it fine, even with two noobs who took longshot, didn’t understand ammo sharing, took the most difficult route and went down like 10 times! So should’ve been doable with any class so long as there’s players who at least understand best practices.
That is my situation in Horde (I dont have any interest in Escape). Last night i attempted the daily Overload challenge with random public lobbies 4 times, failed every time. The last was annoying as frack, we got to wave 48, then an enemy got stuck inside a wall, and we couldnt finish (didnt have a marksman).
Then my team came online and we flew hrough Master games while talking about economic, US monetary policy, and constantly annoying 1 team mate by drowning him in salvos, lol…
The horde public lobby experience isnt much different from what you describe in Escape… It is really just the luck of the draw, re host or team mates…
Btw, i disagree with that idea that you cant tell anything about a player from their reup or character level. If a reup 3 character level 7 Marcus, urgh, “Veteran” joins our Master lobby to play Regency, we can safely kick him, since even if (s)he is a Horde God working on a second account, they wont have enough leveled up cards to really contribute…
A low level Jack or Engineer is useful… A low level offensive class wont have all cards unlocked and unlocked cards arent likely to be high level.
A Pilot without Hammer and with a Cryo and Buzzkill on the silverback isnt likely very useful on a challenging Master map.
YMMV, thats my team’s general opinion
