It’s a reconnection bug that puts you at the end of the que. I’m quite sure of it. The order is always the same:
Matchmaking (6-7 minutes)
Placing (1-2 minutes)
Reconnecting (20 sec)
Matchmaking (6-7 minutes)
This loop will continue until you do get thrown into a match.
And in the current state, there is a 50% chance it isn’t a full lobby, so you got to re-que all over again.
Worst waittime I had? It was a little more than over an hour.
- On a good note. With these wait times and the relatively stable windowed fullscreen mode, I can keep working on my book so every hour I wait in matchmaking, is an hour of work done.
Like a nice break, breaking spines. But honestly? This cannot happen at full release. The beta was just a stress test to see if everything worked. The first patches were the bugs they - likely - already knew about.
