Um...it seems I only disconnect on Canyon.
Before that it was Tourmaline Desert
And Alpine before that...
I wouldn't get disconnected until maybe after a week of heavy map rotation that only seem to bring up a particular map again and again - sometimes 4 times in a row.
Just putting it out there.

Hmmm...now I seem to disconnect in the middle of the game when ELO matchups are vastly uneven - ie. enemy opponents outweigh my team by 250 tons.
Just sayin

Wierd. I haven't had any disconnect issues in this game thusfar. I think I saw you on Canyon map earlier this morning (that long-*** game). I don't recall you disconnecting in that one. Did you?

Well...this could be a recent phenomenon for me.

If you always disconnect on a particular map, your game may not have patched correctly and there may be a problem with that specific map file, causing it to load incorrectly.

Run their repair tool, or just uninstall/reinstall.

It's not the installation, it's his inability to play in a circumstance he finds objectionable.

Ah, right. I see. This is what happens when you don't carefully read a post and like to assume people are not selfish gits willing to ruin 15 other players' game. Alas, this is the internet, where being a selfish git is "normal".

I generally make this assumption when I start reading and hope they prove me wrong.

I beg to differ.
This is the internet, where expectations from BOTH parties are never met.
Hence, the bad behavior that's becoming more prevalent.
Tell me you're not sick of how the new maps are in heavy rotation. (Cool with the first 10 days - but after?)
And don't telll me you don't have at least 1 disconnect in almost 80% of your game.
Question - why should one stay when looking for a 'good' experience and be given something subpar instead?
If there is a single disconnect; whether player motivated or server issues, I vote EVERYONE disconnects. So all players have the same experience and start anew.

I have nearly 13 hours of playtime on Tourmaline and the same for Alpine. I am, honestly, sick and tired of them. Any merits they may have had is lost on me at this point. When I drop on these maps I curse like a sailor and then play them out. You should give it a try.

I have disconnects in a lot of my games. There is a current bug causing lots of them, but I know a lot of people are disconnecting.

If everyone disconnects though, every time one does, we'll never get to play a game. Of course "everyone" will always be a small portion of the player base, as most wouldn't know about this - us forum folk are a small subset of the playerbase. So, all these users would see - the vast majority of players - is 3-4 disconnects at the start of every match making the game completely unplayable. No thanks. One is bad enough.

Simply put: Because one isn't a selfish a*****e. If you're disconnecting because you're tired of the map, you could well be the one making 15 other player's otherwise perfectly fine game be crap.

Even if maps' frequency isn't changed, there aren't that many, and people will get tired of/dislike certain maps. It *WILL* happen.

Don't you see? If people just suck it up and play on the map they're not fond of, everyone gets better games. Say you hate Tourmaline, and I hate River City, and we BOTH hate matches where we are short a player. We drop on River City, I disconnect, and now your otherwise fun match is ***ked. Then we drop on Tourmaline, and look! You disconnect; our second match is also ***ked. There's 14 other players, I'm sure each has their own disliked maps, then there's random disconnects too.

The moral of this story: Don't be a selfish ****** and we all get better games. You're not the only one playing.
