ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When trying to matchmake, the game will come up with some crazy errors, and sometimes when joining, it fails to join, then I’ll have to wait 5 minutes before I can join. Then it did it again, and now I have to wait 10 minutes. It happens almost every time I do a ranked match making game. The error message does change from time to time, but it’s constantly an error.
