Since there is a still a wait for others to pop in, knowing that a player has disconnected (for whatever the reason), should prompt the players (generally the team that is affected) if they wish to wait an additional 30 seconds (at most) for players to replace the disconnected ones.

F3 - For Yes, F4 - For No (common voting keys)

There is potential for abuse for this.. but this question is only asked once and if the vote fails, the match continues to start.

No interest in this idea?

There have been a few instances where I entered a match and the MM system fails to find players. When a team is down 1-3 players due to a MM fail there should be a voting option to delay the match startup to force MM to find the rest of the players.

As for disconnects, this would be a tricky issue as I would like to see a reconnect option for people that get dropped and try to get back in. It might be hard to tell if they are trying to come back or not. I would like to think that if a player got DCed at the start and people are allowed to kick the DC for another player, that the DCed player's mech would be unlocked to be used again. But then again, some people might exploit this as a way to dodge certain Players/Maps/Gametypes.
