Battlegrounds utterly messed up?
I tried the new battlegrounds. Queued for 4vs4 solo, got Crazy King. We had one person too few in our team, so the game made us wait 5 minutes. Meanwhile, someone left and another player replaced them, but at t- 10s the game says "Not enough players, Battlegrounds will close in 10 seconds."
I queued again, got into another Crazy King game with the exact same situation, only 3 minutes in. So that means two of the same games were waiting for 1 extra player for 5 minutes, just to close off, at the same time.
Next I get a Deathmatch. So yeah, seems like you get to play 3 games, but when the 1st one was over, I return to Eastmarch with, for some reason, a deserter's penalty of 15 minutes. ?!?!
What happened? How did this get through the PTS and get the green lit?

Yeah, if you lose your lives and someone else just sits up at the top you can get kicked for not being active.

The PTS has a relatively limited audience of players that are generally cooperative. This makes it so that some bugs don't actually occur with much frequency and don't necessarily get reported.
If I recall correctly, the PTS at least on the first week would actually start the matches when short a player so the short a player bug wouldn't necessarily trigger.
The PTS population was also low enough that if it did trigger people would assume it was a population issue not an matchmaking issue.0
