This is not a technical issue post. This is general discouragement of playing this bugged bugged bugged game. In 3 days it happened 2 times to me and im quitting this game forever until im sure this bug is no longer present. I have stable internet connection (no wifi, ethernet cable really) and it happens that I get disconnected during draft, got -600 league point and I am forced to play 2 aram wins with total yolos. Unfair and unacceptable.
Edit: and no. excuses like “your internet went out for a moment” is also not acceptable. I was on teamspeak and could hear everything without being disconnected. Also even if I my internet went out for a moment it must be possible to reconnect. For example in league of legends when you pick champion, plug out internet cable for 30 sec and plug it back in you get reconnected to draft. You get penalty only for explicitly canceling the matchmaking or not reconnecting at all.

Haven’t had a dc in draft in a year or more. So it’s not a bug, your PC or connection is bad.
Playing through an ethernet cable also doesn’t rule out a bad router or problems at the service provider.
Or, you have preselected a hero and someone took it at the last second, kicking you out of the lobby. That’s not a bug. Same thing with not prepicking anything, which will also kick you out if two people don’t pick.

I already have picked my hero and I saw the timer on top stop on 5 seconds. So definitely not issue in picking. If it is my PC being bad, how is it not happening in any other game?

GPU going bad, hard drive going bad, overheating CPU, lots of reasons. Freezes aren’t bugs. That’s why the technical support forum exists.
If it was a bug, you’d see thousands of people posting about it here.
If gpu went bad, the whole program would stop. I actualy could see whisper chat as other player flamed me for first picking zeratul. So not even internet went bad, nor hard drive nor anything. The game just decided to drop my connection to game server and claim that I disconected myself.

I made like 7 posts about this problem in the last half year and right now i have two things to say:
- i’m really surprised shapeshifter didn’t replay this thread yet lol. He was always the first to answering my posts with lame comments like “it’s not a bug if you’re the only one experiencing this”
- Don’t expect for helpful reply or the hand of salvation from the high places becouse you’ll find nothing of this on this forum.
I know my comment may be too salty, but it’s shameful how things like this are not considered at all, not a patch nor a simple word about this problem to reassure players.
I currently stopped played sl too and i’m slowly starting to play less, the day to leave this game is nigh.
Maybe you didn’t realize by now, but devs don’t really respond to bug reports. They will however respond to Tech Support reports. You may want to post there for assistance.
If you prefer to get zero responses, that’s ok too. At least you were told your disconnect isn’t a bug.

Then you shoulda spent the last half year getting a job and building a decent PC then instead of playing on a toaster. The definition of a bug is it affects everyone or nearly everyone. Like the recent mount bug.
A random person experiencing repeat disconnects isn’t a bug, it’s something with your hardware or internet… They have staff dedicated to troubleshooting those things.
I’ve disconnected once or twice in my life in a draft. That was because my router was crapping out.
edited: I have disconnected a few times within a match after it had already started, but those were global server dc’s that affected everyone.
I posted here, in bug report and in tech support too. Nothing changed.
Also my pc works perfectly fine, Hots it’s the only game that gives me any problem, and i play hots on this same pc by two year more or less. i tested the connection and no problem was detected, in fact i could do anything internet related while the draft bug occured, i could use the in game chats too except for the draft chat. Also the defenition of a bug is that someting doesn’t work as intended in the game, how many people are afflicted by that change is relevance. But the gravity of the bug can change his relevance too. And as you can see searching in this forum and variuos hots groups on fb or rddt for example i am not the only one afflicted by this bug lol.
Same here. Everything aside. If you have internet interruptions because of your ISP or geography it’s not your fault. It should be relatively easy to discern that leaving or dc’ing during a match negatively affects the team 1000x more than dc’ing during draft. The fact that there is no recourse to reconnecting during the draft even for a few second interruption is retarded. That the penalty is the same is beyond belief.
If you cant count on your internet to be stable then you should not play ranked at all.
You waste 9 other players time by throwing them back in que
Its not a bug, its people giving up at the draft screen for one reason or another.
Fix your internet connection and you will be fine. The error is on your side.
