Join in progress should just die already. You're taking one bad experience and spreading it around even more but putting me in a game that's half over already. Just stop it already.

Some games do it well. In Titanfall, if you join a match in progress and lose, it doesn't count as a loss against your personal stats.
In Overwatch, you get a "Backfill" XP boost. Sometimes you'll join a match just in time to see the "Defeat" popup. Bam, 500 free XP.

I don't care about any of that. I've never been put into a match in progress and had fun. It's always an exercise in frustration.

Destiny 2 should have a JIP buff. If the match is less than halfway over, you get a full Super. If the match is over halfway done and your team is , you get a full Super and Heavy. And in both instances, a higher chance of Legendary loot once the match ends.

i still just think JIP is fundamentally spreading a bad experience to more players rather than just letting the original players deal with it. JIP has never solved anything--it always happens way too late in a match that it doesn't matter. Either you compensated for being down a player and pulled through somehow or you didn't, adding another body halfway through a match didn't help either way, and definitely didn't improve the experience of having teammates quit. In my experience, anyway, which is admittedly limited.
