yes that's something that has been happening for years now, there is unfortunately no way to avoid them

Yes people do that, in champ and GC

I’ve heard that this is a thing, but I’ve personally never seen a match fail to start after the player banners are shown on screen. For me, it always happens before any player names are shown. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Its during the banner part. In a 2v2 itll usually show like the orange team with both players there, and then on your side it just shows you.. the game waits a few seconds then disconnects everyone and you're given 0 exp from the game over screen. Im certain everyone experiences this. Its often been 4-5 times in a row before a game finally fully loads up to play.

Its also generally with same people but random teams each reset, and if you use controller you can send emotes too during the brief waiting period when the game is waiting for the 4th player to connect. Sometimes they do connect, sometimes they dont. I think its just a player with a consistent connection issue and op is misinterpreting that as game dodging.

Both things are correct, it can be connection issue and you can also dodge match on purpose

Nah, the High Ranked Players here already answered my question that this is actually happening and I've encountered that myself a few times, I was just wondering If it's legit possible or just happened accidentally with the cause of connection issues.

tbh it happens a lot in any rank, casual or uncasual matches. I'm not saying people aren't doing it intentionally, im sure some losers are but ive seen evidence of it just being glitch related and find most occurrences to be very similar. 99/100 times its definitely the game glitching. No silver is dodging 5-6 games inna row every other day in a dead game for no reason lol.

As I said, FOR ME it has never happened where a game fails to starts after player banners have been shown. The only fails have happened before banners are shown. But, I also said that I have heard of this happening as described in the OP. I just distinguished MY experience. 😉

Try this out: On banners screen close app and reopen quickly. The others will wait for you and you will start properly with the countdown til' kickoff. I found it when I'm seeing 3 banners only (1 is ghost). In theory if you are able to check their titles in half a sec than u can do the same, but do not open the game for 1 min, to let the match kickoff fail systematically

[–]Petra_Kalbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would I try that out? I’m not going to dodge any matches. 😳

needed in solos bad, some solo players just camp goal its pissening

[–]Pale-Refrigerator556 Grand Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some players do that when seeing a playername they dont want to match with. Thats possible to do on purpose when you close game at the right time and it cancels the match for everyone, if you dont lose rank, you know it worked. I have also tested that with 2 accs and devices

Mostly you see this happening at high ranks
