:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
In the ranked queue, sometimes it takes 30 seconds or more to transition from the lobby view to the loading screen view, after the countdown has finished.
Chatting in the lobby is still possible.
For many people it is unclear, if the game will continue, so they quit.

It might be linked to "Wait for the program to respond" popup , because it both occurs after the countdown has finished, and both for me are new in 50700 or the version before that.
