Today I tried to play an Arena game on mobile. However, after the “Cancel” button disappeared, I got stuck. After 5 minutes I gave up and restarted the app. Upon logging in, I was notified that “You lost your last Arena game due to a disconnect.”
How can I lose a game that hasn’t even started?
You disconnected from the game server during your search for an opponent.
During that “wheel spinning animation”, there is point where the wheel is still spinning, but the system has found a match. If you cancel the wheel or disconnect during those few seconds, it is considered a loss – ANY disconnect during an arena run is automatically considered a loss (this is prevent players from simply “pulling the plug” and disconnecting intentionally, which could lead to near infinite arena runs; as the dc would skirt the potential loss).
Also, the game runs in real-time from Blizz’s servers; so waiting more than a minute after a disconnect is only ensuring your loss…as the game is progressing normally for your opponent.
The better question: Why do so many players not learn about the way the game is meant to be setup for their device?
This.
Quit the game and restart it.
Edit: If you do it fast enough you may still pick up where you left off.
What does this mean?
Oh, so you’ve never had any issue with the game? You just downloaded it and it worked correctly from the start?
Maybe the question is oddly worded, but my experience has been basically this - depending on the device being used, there always seems to be something that needs to be tweaked/changed/removed for some programs to work well. I guess it still surprises me that so many seem to be basically unaware of how to learn how to do things (when things like Google exist).
I’m really mystified by what you mean here. Are you talking about in-game settings, general device settings, or something else?
Can you give some examples?
Dude, I’m not really speaking to specific examples - I’m talking about a human’s ability to learn and grow, or in this case; apparent laziness/lack of motivation to improve a condition/issue.
Do you really need examples? You post here more than I do…
Maybe I’m taking the phrase “setup for their device” too literally?
To me, that implies that there are actual device settings or game settings that can be modified to good effect.
If that’s not what it means, then I’ll just have to remain in the dark.

Wow, you just resurrected a 2 year old thread, to call someone a douche? Don’t be a necromancer
