Hi Splash Damage
I have noticed a bug on the servers, sometime (at least 10 time since CW update) the server leaves one slot empty in a team, this slot is “locked” for the whole match and my steam friends can’t get it (auto-join or manual join).
In a 6v6 match, one missing player for the whole match is a HUGE BALANCE DISASTER.
I THINK that this happens when a guy is Spectating the match, and for some reason he doesn’t show up on the Player List.
I THINK, not 100% sure… :v
I forgot to specify it, the spectator slot was empty every time this bug happened
The problem is still present since November update
I have two screenshots made at the same moment, one from me playing and one from a friend trying to join the game
this server left an empty slot, one player appears in the queue but wasn’t on the server and never joined after (he may have quit long before, I don’t remember him)
This bug seems to be ignored but it’s still there since Thunder update and i’m not the only one who noticed it

This is a real problem that usually waste a full match
I’ve also had this issue, but sometimes in the server browser it will show “11/12” but when anyone tries to connect it gives them a “Server Full” message even though it is untrue.
Same here.
Zero spectators, 13/14 and my friend tried several times to join throughout the execution match but it kept saying Server Full.
Next match the server was still locked at 13/14 so I know it carries over
I’ve seen this in both cases where on the server browser it’ll show a spot open but everytime you try to join it says its full, or the game is listed as full on the server browser and can’t be joined but people inside the game can confirm theres a spot open
I feel like it might be the server getting bugged after someone is kicked - as in it removes the person but keeps the spot locked. Not totally sure about the kicking part, but something is obviously getting bugged when a person leaves and no one can join their spot

Possible further information…
I was playing today and I timed out near the start of the match. It happened very quickly (the connection issue popup to disconnect I mean). I then went to jump in the server but the server browser said I was still in the game. I was able to join no issues and carried on.
I had this happen to a mate the other day too. His game completely crashed and he rejoined, but he was still listed as being in the server the whole time.
This made me think about this issue though. Could it be that the server holds a spot open for a timed out player to let them rejoin and forgets to clear it, or cant clear it for some reason. This is a very frustrating issue as it leaves one team a player down the whole match.
