Smurfing. It's ugly, no one likes it, that's a fact. But there are worse things; and things that could really hurt Rebellions launch, especially trying to get online matches to be a major part of it.

Today was going to be maybe my 5th ICO match. I logged in and was waiting ready to go, then something struck me as odd, all the teams quickly switched to team 10 and there was me and some other (I assume new player but idk) stuck on team 2 and team 5. I asked "what are we all going team 10?" only to be painted with a blue brush and that was the reason they were going to go that way. That COMPLETELY killed my interest to play sins today. I do alot of online gaming and have never been treated that way anywhere else. Arbitrarily painted with the smurf brush without even leaving the lobby, unacceptable.

I just purchased sins trinity back in September, and pre-ordered Rebellion. If players who have over 1000 matches are going to treat new players like that, how are the (I'm hoping 1000's) of new adopters to rebellion going to get along? I have no problems with getting my hat handed to me because I'm new at something. Steep learning curves are good. But to be completely judged like that is wrong.

I love sins, it's an amazing game you guys have made. I cant say the same for the online community. As a newcomer, it feels a lot like an 'old boys' club.

I ask the devs to look hard for a solution that will help new adopters have a less distasteful introduction to Rebellion. It deserves better than that.
