think the opposite, you are playing a 4v4 game, one guy quit, wouldn't you want this guy to be replaced with an other player or do you rather play 3v4, I know this used to be a major problem in online games like Halo back in 2006 |
What Nintendo often does with these games, at least for random matchups, is discreetly replaces the missing player with a bot. You get maybe 10, 20 seconds of lag, then suddenly one of the players runs very differently (painfully obvious in Smash, harder to spot in Mario Kart, since Kart's easier on lag). So they say "no bots", but that really means "matches will not start with bots."
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
