Feedback - Need a Fix

Hello!

When I am invited to someone else’s lobby, if I try to type out a message in chat (which takes forever on my Switch w a joycon), but, unbeknownst to me, the leader has started a search, the game does not let me know that a search has started or that a match has been made. As a result, when I finish my msg and send it, I find that I have been kicked from the lobby because I didn’t click the button to join the match. Sometimes I’m banned from entering a lobby for 60 seconds and it dings my Fair Play points.

COULD YOU PLEASE ADD A FUNCTION THAT ALERTS PLAYERS WHO ARE DRAFTING CHAT MESSAGES THAT A SEARCH HAS STARTED OR A MATCH HAS BEEN MADE? It doesn’t seem fair to ding us when the game itself fails to let us know a search has started or a match has been made whenever the user is in the chat UI.

As frustrating as it would be to spend all that time drafting a message just to have it disappear, I’d rather be force-redirected to the match screen (just like when we are on the Home Screen & event menus during searches) than to be kicked from the lobby & look like an unreliable teammate.

Could you please find a way to alert the lobby leader that a teammate is in the chat UI and not allow them to start a search, just like when ppl are still in the Battle Data and “calculating”? Or could you force redirect the player in chat UI to the match screen? Even better, is there a way to temporarily save their interrupted chat draft and erase all drafts when they leave that lobby or close the game/log off? Thank you so much!
