Failing to load in a ranked match applies leaver penalty


(ThunderZsolt) #1

Happened yesterday:

I’ve queued up with a friend. After the loading screen, he got dropped in the main menu, with no option to “reconnect”

I successfully loaded in the mission, where it was 3v3. After a while, we got the following message:
“One or more players failed to connect. Returning all players to Frontend.”
After a 5 seconds countdown all players got kicked. However, I could rejoin, and the others were able too.
Then we got the same message and the server kicked everyone without being able to reconnect properly.

The more interesting part is, that we tried to queue up again, but we couldn’t because my friend had a “matchmaking penalty” active.
It means that the other 3 players who couldn’t connect also got the penalty - needs fix ASAP considering how populated the ranked mode is.

I’ve recorded some of these happening, if anyone is interested how messing around 3v3 looks like, I can upload it.

This happened to me a while ago. Just wait out the penalty, it’s not really much of a big deal.
Annoying and should be fixed, but meh, ranked isn’t great anyways.
