For me this happens every time I restart the game. The setting is always changed to Balanced on launch and will only stay on With Party for that session.
Yeah, it's really annoying. If it was a setting in the character selection screen or something it'd be fine, but having to go into options every time I boot up to play with friends is insanely tedious.
Would love an option for this to be a saved setting or at least moved back to a place in the UI that's visible when queuing. It's so consistent that it doesn't seem to be a bug (or it's one that's not cared about atm) but if I'm queuing with my friends I'm going to want to lane with my friends.
has been happening to me for weeks now ever since i started playing deadlock. Would really like this feature to be fixed or reworked to be more obvious UI when in a party before queuing
