I think everyone is about as sick as I am of people disconnect-farming or even just having a bad drop where they get a client failure and alt-f4 it. But as a result your team is left short handed for the duration, often causing (say if they're a heavy/assault) or contributing to a loss.

I don't understand why people who disconnect even during the 'waiting for players' screen aren't replaced by other players.

So the suggestion is simple. If within 30 seconds of the match start someone disconnects - replace them with someone else who is waiting to play. It'll better utilize your servers by requiring less games for players (since you'll be putting more active players in a game) as well as make the games more fair/exciting with a proper balance of players.

30 seconds is about how long it takes for contact to occur between teams (barring lights) so it shouldn't be game breaking.

Thanks

Unfortunately the way it loads matches, this would not be possible.
