Dude my team got slaughtered in the beginning and we still came back and won.

I've seen that happens sometimes, but when it's ridiculously imbalanced I won't even bother. Faster just to rejoin and hope for the best. Add to that the fact that I don't want to be doing PvP anyway (I just want rank 4 for the chest piece) and maybe you get where I'm coming from.

You're just wasting your time and not getting your medallions for the xp boost. I just did it right now. Joined in the middle of a match, down 5k and they controlled all the zones. Came back and won it. Even if I didn't, the medallion of iron redeems for 80% of a win. So why would you quit?

I'll only quit is it's a minute or two into the game and it's completely obvious that the other team is going to dominate my team. There's zero fun in it for me if I'm purely cannon fodder. If it's 8 minutes in and we're down 5k and we're obviously going to lose I'll stick it out for the medallion. But one minute in, enemy controls all zones and they're already up 3k while we have zero kills? Bye. At least when it's only 3-5k that we lose by I can make some bounty progress...
