"Helldivers 2 Dev Seeks Solutions for Meta Loadout Kicking Issue"

The CEO of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has acknowledged the issue of players kicking teammates for not using "meta" loadouts and asked the community for solutions. Suggestions include adding a "kick reason" prompt, highlighting the player who kicked you, and implementing a matchmaking "preferred style" filter. Other ideas involve tracking and flagging players who excessively kick teammates, as well as preventing kicks at certain points in the game. The CEO emphasized the host's ownership of the game and thanked the community for their input, expressing a commitment to finding a better solution.
