Penalty deserter bugged.

NeoniKa · June 19

Lately I've been noticing that the deserter penalty appears constantly when we're not able to accept the match.

For example: I usually request a match, but I don't stay stopped in one place doing nothing while waiting for the match that sometimes took a long time to appear, so I do other stuff. Sometimes the match appears when I'm in combat, and after combat even if I didn't reject the the request, I get a deserter penalty of 5 minutes.

This bug is really problematic because it causes more people to stay away from ToT or even completely quit trying. Please fix it.

Hey @NeoniKa did you notice this after the Update 50 patch, or was it happening before then? (That launched on June 8.)

Only after update 50. Before that I was able to request a match immediately after combat or even if I missed the call, without the need to wait 5 minutes.

Can confirm, this first started to happen after update 50.

I did also get the penalty/5min cooldown for declining the queue, just a few seconds after it popped - I don't quite see the logical point in that. Hope it's just a bug and not intended & will be fixed soon.

It's still happening. It's crazy. It's really really hard to get a match at the time I play, and then if we fail to accept the match we get the insane penalty. I don't have this bug with Battlegrounds or Dungeons, it's only happening with ToT. We really need this fixed as soon as possible, please.
