Squads are not full. Again.
This is not ever funny anymore. The game fails to provide a BASIC function - full teams in a team game during matchmaking. How long has it been? 2-3 seasons already? Why do players have to waste th...

@OldTreeCreeper It's too difficult (if not impossible) to predetermine connection stability. Also, hosting a game on a lobby server or having the queues on the match server are not possible, for a lot of reasons.
@DoYaSeeMe thank you. Notwithstanding predetermining connection stability, could an AI of some description not just look at the arena ranked or ranked game a nanno second before the off and if there arnt full squads, return the players to the lobby? It seems self defeating and costly to run a waste of time game, esp if it is happening in the numbers being reported and experienced? Or is it less costly to let the game run its course?
They added delay after we entering the game, probably they run some performance/testing in the background.
Finding all 60 players for BR could be challenging, I understand that.
But finding 6 players for Arena, can't be that hard right ??
The thing that you don't see is that disconnected players don't always stop sending data completely. Sometimes a few bits of information do arrive, with a delay small enough to not cause a timeout right away. In reality, there can be minutes until a connection dies completely, some of those resulting in legends that stop moving all of a sudden.
Throwing all people out when someone fails to connect can consume precious time and become very frustrating at some point. Players would still blame devs for the failed connections anyway. Personally, I prefer the way it is now, rather than getting re-queued. I even won a few arena matches playing 2 v 3, the best one being a 3-0 against a full premade squad
- @DoYaSeeMe Thanks for repeatedly bringing your perspective from the industry to our conversations. It's very informative.
@DoYaSeeMe yes, I'm beginning to get an inkling as to how little I know 😃 but I enjoy reading your posts, it makes things a bit easier to swollow.
@DoYaSeeMe I had one of those stop moving legends the other evening, but it was a very odd one that I haven't seen before. They dc for whatever reason and stayed at about 20 foot off the floor with a big white light around them. They were there for ages.
@pandareno1999You're welcome, thanks for taking the time to read the nerdy stuff. The idea is to fight disappointment and frustration with knowledge. It's not about defending devs, but more about bringing down expectations to a realistic level.
Had three games in a row in Ranked Arenas last night where either my squad or the enemy squad was a player down from the off. Stupid.
In the last of these games (on Overflow) me and Octane just kept having races to see who could jump off the map first.
