Pause would be awful for the other players, and we all know ppl would troll using pause…
That’s why you limit it. It works in Dota2.
Yes, it’s annoying. But you know what else is annoying? Losing a game without any chance of winning because of a dc.
Imagine sports where if one player gets injured, the match continues undisturbed with a player down, not even caring about them, just carrying on like nothing happened.

As I just read dota pauses for 30 sec, not the 5 mins you asked for.
Except in this case it’s like Blizzard closing the arena but still charging people the money to play anyways
You can unpause after like 20-30 sec, otherwise it’s indefinite unless unpaused. Your teammates can unpause instantly if you paused, but the enemies gotta wait. Every player can pause once every like 5-10 min, not sure.
The 5 min I mentioned was your window for reconnection before the punishment kicks in. Which also stops while paused.

I agree that they should take care better for their servers at least.
It happened to me once but hopefully i was able to get back in the game right away.
Nope… It was happening all day.
No I realized that. Pings been decently high (50 ms instead of 38 ms) and I’ve been kicked or dc at least 10 times.
dude it happen to me a lot of times, by now we can’t do nothing , if blizzard doesn’t fix this, is gonna happen again and again.
Unfortunately all disconnections and game crashes counts as leaving the match and will be penalized appropriately. This is intended by design by Blizzard. The game server has no way to discern a legitimate disconnection or game crash from one that is forcefully caused by a dishonest player to bypass leaver penalties. You can learn about this policy here:

Everyone always says this but can’t even prove it. I’m shocked how few people don’t even know how the Internet and routing works.
Again, it might not have been on your end but also not on Blizzard’s end. Your Internet traffic goes though several hops (servers) before it even gets to Blizzard’s game server. Any one of those could have had a problem and broke the connection.
Won’t happen
Will most likely be put on ignore or blocked so good luck with that.
The only way I know there fault is that I could reconnect immediately. Idk
“WiFi” company? Ummm…

What. They are the ones who connect your router?
I think you mean their ISP ( Internet Service Provider ). The company that one connects your ‘router’ to, allowing an internet connection.
Sorry, i’m not specific with this stuff.
No worries, I’m just trying to help. 
Now you know.
Blizzard knows when their server is under DDOS attack vs some people just disconnecting.
Their AWS servers are not just a scrap of metals. They have tons of tools to check this.
I’m really starting to suspect that Blizzard stopped caring about it’s customers this year.
