Official statement for animated banners?

Why can’t Respawn put out an official statement as to removing animated banners, so you don’t crash every rank game, only to come back often dead after reconnecting. That being said, I don't have one...

@SILVERisSORRY I had zero people disconnect tonight. My banners are still off.

@hayhor Played multiple matches again tonight, with my Animated Banner Pose.

Again I’ve had ZERO disconnects, I’m still expecting to be D/C’d every time I play, but so far, it seem all is well(I’m only playing LOBA).

So maybe I’ll try tomorrow, with a different Legend, & Animated Banner, to see if its localized to a particular Legends Banner.

Again, I’ve been using my Animated Banners, & have had no issues as of yet.

For Context to the Community:
I’m playing on an XBOX ONE X, on US, Mountain Time, but I normally connect to the Servers in Oregon, as they have the lowest ping(avg ping = 41ms,0%Packet Loss)

I also play with an animated banner, Xbox series X and I’ve only crashed maybe 3-4 times over the whole course of this issue. BUT ALL of my friends on the old gen consoles are still crashing twice every single game and that’s *. It needs fixed, it’s obviously being localized mainly for older consoles and that’s not a reason to excuse the issue.. it needs addressed, we shouldn’t be finding these issues before the game makers do, that’s a joke and a slap in the face to them(my pride would be crushed if this was my game right now) See in my work, bad production costs you your livelyhood and a lot of missed Money because I’m hired and contracted to meet certain requirements. Coming from that type of work watching this game have all these issue that are minor fixes I’d imagine, is just mind blowing. Why has game making become so half assed!? It’s sad and disappointing

@DgkAllDay09 While I agree we shouldnt have to do it, have you tried shutting your animated banner off to see if it helps your friends?

@DgkAllDay09 I have these issues to this day, and it's mostly when playing rank, not sure why, but that's my ongoing experience. The amount of times I load into a game, and both teammates are DC'd is more than I'd like to admit, That being said, if i'm being DC'd because of teammate's banners, they always land contested, and by the time I reconnect, i'm dead. Reddit is plastered with these same issues, so there's definitely something wrong, and while I understand some might not experience these issues, there's a very large percentage of players that still do, hence it should be addressed in a timely matter, which Respawn has not done, or acknowledged.

Okay, well after further testing it seems like the disconnects happen with certain legends and not with others.
I used 3 different Banner Poses as LOBA, and had NO issues.
when using Lifeline & DrumSolo Pose, I WAS disconnected.
when using Pathfinder & ForTheBirds Pose, I WAS disconnected
also had a teammate using a Bloodhound Animated Pose, who WAS disconnected.
When playing with my boyfriend, he was disconnected by the Champion Squad Intro Screen who was using Octane, & the HeadRush Pose. However I was NOT disconnected. (I’m on XBOX ONE X, & he is using an XBOX ONE S)
As I don’t have every Legends Animated Poses unlocked, I couldn’t test any others.
🤍🌙🤍 Hope this helps anyone who is having D/C issues. 🤍🌙🤍
