What is the goal of this feature?

If you get dropped from a match you simply have to rejoin with the same mech.
If you get killed and exit the match, you can return to it to spectate only. If you choose a new mech you can't rejoin that match anyway.

If you get killed, leave the match and choose another mech you shouldn't even have the option to return the the match you just left.

Am I missing a specific situation where this thing has some use ?

I don't know. We where bugging Russ about it on Twitter a week ago or so - if you choose another mech, obviously you don't intend to rejoin that match, so why do you have to click through that menu.

I miss the old Play / Rejoin button.

PGI for the love of god get rid of this menu. Add it into the UI somwhere else, but not on the quickplay button

It seems like a debug feature that PGI forgot to remove.
PGI, hey!

Hello, all. I've actually found some use with that "Games In Progress" Menu. Just recently, it saved me from losing out on Match Rewards when my client crashed and I had to Rejoin a Faction Warfare Match. If it hadn't been there, I would have had to spend about 7 or 8 extra clicks and a full minute of precious time that would have spelled the difference between the server telling me I would get to keep my earnings, or didn't get to have anything due to being disconnected for too long. So please don't go deciding for all of us that we do or don't need something.

I would, however, advocate the creation of an In-Game Setting to switch the dialog on/off. That way, those who don't want to use it, or are somehow naturally faster, can just flick a checkbox to knock it out. Admittedly, you would then have the extra steering to do in the event you need to reconnect. But, I'll leave that annoyance up to you, because it's something you want to disable, while I would prefer to keep it.

Well, there is enough space to the [additional] button with drop-list "rejoin".

BTW, it is not only awkward, it also shows invalid information. I have only european region selected, but that "game in progress" always shows american region. I see my actual region by ping, it is european.
