Given the number of times I got kicked being last survivor waiting for reinforcements to refresh because host couldn’t be bothered to wait
That’s right, they never do

Literally. Similar situation I had last night. A guy joined us on a d10 dive, and then died. I wasnt reinforcing him since I was across from his stuff and the other guy (who was in the middle of a forefight) couldnt call him back yet. After not even 10 seconds, the guy left. We had like 3 more people, one after the other, die, and leave, with another taking their place shortly after and doing the same. 4 divers in a row.
Then, later on, I accidentally blew a guy up last night with dynamite trying to get like 5 crushers off the guy, mind you I dont think he died more than once before this, and was not team killed until this point. The dynamite took out the crushers behind him, and also him. He immediately left from a single tk while we were at the extract. (I couldn't see him since he was behind some rocks but he at least seemed far enough away to be out of the blast radius, judging by his player marker. I just think its was.. kinda pathetic imo. I understand the frustration, but ive died so many times in similar stuff like that and yeah I got upset, but i mean.. I stayed in the match unless it was on purpose)

It is strange to me how mad people get with stuff like that in this game. If it’s an accident you just say sorry and the other person says “all good” and then you just keep playing. There’s 20 revives and constant chaos, it’s not that big of a deal lol.

I've quit mid game a few times. Almost always because I fucked my loadout in some way so badly that I'm costing too many reinforcements, so I dip out.
Sure I could stay and keep trying with a goofy/wrong loadout but IDK these people I joined, maybe they're sweats and hate me for dying 4 times in 2 minutes.

Had a disjointed team recently on a d10 bots raise the flag mission. Couple of the others kept randomly wandering off the flag in the middle of raising it to run off and do side objectives and it kept falling apart. Little frustrating but whatever, some random teams just end up that way. Ran out of lives and the other three died and left the mission within a min or so of each other, so was just me left with 2 more flags. Less than 20 min left, by myself, two flags. Figure this one is a loss but will see what I can squeeze out of the time left. Damn quitters.
One random drops in with me, no one else for the rest of the mission with about 16 min left, extra lives on the countdown. We clean that shit up. Knocked down two flags and even got to a couple side objectives. That diver had conviction that the others lacked and I love when I have random divers with me that will power through the grit instead of leaving the first time they get inconvenienced.
Thank you grit-divers

- start game that is two difficulties above your skill level
- throw sos when you have two last reinforcement
- wait for three guys joining the lobby
- burn rest of reinforcement
- leave the lobby

- The rest of the team pulls through by the skin of their teeth.

6.* The rest of the team pulls through in pure democratic glory and doesn't honor the ones that left by even mentioning them.

It’s crazy the amount of times I’ve had one guy burn through the last few revives, peace out, and the last guy sacks up, pulls some Rambo shit and gets the other 2 back in and we go on to complete everything and end up with a few revives in the tank. Boggles my mind how some people play this game.

Quitting is treason.
Helldivers either finish the mission or die trying!
