Monster Hunter figured out this kicking problem generations ago. If you get kicked, the only thing that should happen is that you get seamlessly sent to your own instance of the mission (without being able to quit and rejoin because farming is a thing). It's such a simple, elegant solution.

the strat i use to not get kicked:
>i create a lobby
>i put it on public
>i play with the ppl who joins and have a good time

Im fine with people joining the last moment when we are getting ready to extract. "Man you won the lottery. Free medals, samples and xp. Congrats."

I joined a mission while the other 3 were finishing the last objective yesterday. Called in my gear, then immediately got killed by a dude with an arc thrower who spun around and shot a charger after it got behind him between the entire team and him. Couldn't get the gear back on respawn because it was overrun, so I mused at how funny it was to lose my gear right at the start because of a dude with an arc thrower doing 360s. Then his teammates started intentionally killing me when there were no enemies around. I was just about to leave, when the host DC'd and I got host as they were 30 seconds from extract landing, so I kicked them after about 4 TKs in a minute. God that felt good.

i completed 98% of a match and got kicked during extraction, i carried the shit outta them too. Ill never understand why some are so miserable.

I think a good solution is to give people a "host kicking ratio" under their name that indicates that they kick people often

One time I got kicked from a destroyer within 30 seconds because I immediately offered the host a scout handshake. I didn't know that it would hit him with the old "too slow", and the instant it happened I could *hear* him opening the menu, and I was laughing the whole time. I have since unequipped the scout handshake lmao

How the hell are you gonna throw down an SOS beacon and still kick me? Dick move. I hope they implement something to prevent excessive kicking, I don't even kick players when they use up half of all the reinforcements, I really try to be cool with everyone!

i got kicked one time because a guy ran directly towards my airburst (he was 60m away) and got killed right after the ship left orbit💀

Even having a perfect coop game, human nature still finds a way to destroy the experience
RobertSela
kicks should still award the rewards acquired at the time of removal

Every single time, I've noticed they kick you for carrying them. Like, don't throw a fuckin SOS if you don't want help. It's only happened a few times, but it's noticeable.
Thankfully, most people (on the maximum difficulties at least) are fairly understanding to accidental teamkills. I've only seen people get kicked after their third teamkill or if they wipe the whole squad with a stratagem.

If I forget to switch to friends only, I just try and finish it with whoever it is who joined then switch afterwood. I ve never kicked any one. As a matter of fact today I forgot to do it so me and some randoms slogged through the mission, then all 3 of them died at the exact same as the dropship was coming in. Instead of just climbing on board I waited to call them all in and made sure they were all in the drop ship before I got on and I grabbed there samples.

I dont get kicked, the whole team just leaves in the first 5 minutes after they spawn a bug breach and die

Been at the start of a base defense mission, reinforced people 4 times 7/8 launches and suddenly my screen goes dark and it says you have been kicked. Waste of time.

Tips
- when you reinforce, throw them towards their supply’s, not at a random spot
- if you split up, and you die, dont instant reinforce, but let the helldiver that you split up with reinforce you
- when you have teammates using the same weapons that need a reload, link up with them so they shoot faster and take turns with that

The best thing they should change in the game is that when you get kicked you continue mission on your own.

I use the HMG emplacement along with recoiless on helldive, people really underestimate how incredible it is. I've saved my team and completed missions many times due to that strategem.
Recently while selecting strats before a mission the host backed out and told me if I use HMG he's kicking me.
First of all the arrogance for someone to think they get dictate my play style, and second I told him I don't have enough crayons to draw a picture he'd understand; then I was kicked.

There should really be some kind of ding or buzz to notify everyone when someone's typed in the chat. (maybe with an option to change the volume in the settings)

Getting kicked by someone who doesn't understand is the most infuriating way to be kicked
