I was in a match with a mate right and the game was going alright but we weren’t exactly winning when their carry dc’d and we didnt think anything of it until their entire team just randomly left. We just assumed that we had a ddoser until people on our team also started leaving. My duo got suspended from comp and lost 50sr and unable to rejoin. In the end it just ended up being me and my second support 2v3 and we lost the match. So now i dont reckon its a ddos but a really annoying bug or server issue. This has happened before but not on such a big scale like entire teams just leaving the match. It was really frustrating but there was nothing we could do about it.
There’s a huge wave of such reports in the past couple of days. I’ve seen this happen in one of my games on Friday, where five players on the other team instantly disconnected and kept on intermittently disconnecting throughout the rest of the match. They blamed it on us. In the six years of playing this game, this was the first time I’ve seen something like it. The fact that in the past few days this seems to have suddenly become widespread, points to networking problems with or on the way to Blizzard’s servers. The alternative explanation of sudden emergence of multiple malevolent actors on such a large scale doesn’t stand up to rational scrutiny.
To clarify, did you disconnect or crash? From what I am reading it is not sounding you did, but let me share what is going on with multiple people disappearing in a match. There is not a DDoS, instead, there is a potential issue client randomly crashing without warning, which I speculate may be related to the DNS connection for Overwatch, but it could be other issues.
