:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
After finding a match in a 4v4 lobby, one of my teammates queue dodged just as the countdown hit zero. The match then did not start, and the queue did not continue. I could not return to menu or start a new queue so I was forced to exit the game. As a result I was given a timeout when returning to the game.

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
I expect that once fixed, if a player exits the lobby when the countdown reaches zero, the other players will return to queue as normal.

Hi @PlushWerewolf1!

We could not reproduce this issue :thinking: can you send to us a video to see how it happens? We tested it in regular host games and ranked games.

Thanks!

Hello, thank you for replying and looking into this. This issue has happened a couple more times recently. Although, as I’m unable to anticipate a player leaving a lobby, I don’t have a video of it occuring. But on two different occasions, I received a time penalty for another player leaving the lobby. On one of these occasions, the game froze as previously described. On the other occasion, I was kicked from the lobby but not put back into the queue, and the time penalty had been applied. I understand that this does not narrow down the issue, but I’m just detailing my experience.
