If you are having connection issues run a packet loss test.

Seriously, https://packetlosstest.com/ Just run it for 60 pings/second and duration 2 minutes and let your computer run in the same state you would be in a game for that duration. Don't browse other sites either because that can mess with the tab networking in your browser that page needs.

Just run it and take a piss. If you have anything over .5% packet loss, areas with large numbers of packets lost, ping that spikes for periods of time, or jitter more than around 5% of your ping, you have some sort of problem with your connection and should solve that.

Helpful information to be sure. Ran a test [lh3.googleusercontent.com] and then played a match and, while some lag was there, I actually managed to play through it. Granted I had also just port-forwarded and changed a couple of other router settings. Still, thanks.

No ♥♥♥♥, I've never been disconnected even once in 50+ matches.

[Nope]

0.0% on everything. I disconnect around 5 seconds in for every single game.

Ran it myself, and as I suspected, nothing is wrong on my end, 0.0 percent loss across the board. I'm currently sitting on a 5 day ban because of random disconnects in rated/quick matches. Its 100% an issue with the game itself, and they should heavily adjust the penalty to be less significant or just outright remove it altogether until they figure out what's wrong. Of course, they won't because that would require effort.

you can try port forwarding or in the utter worst case, DMZ on your router.

please read before you turn on dmz: DMZ is a very bad idea to leave on, as it exposes all of your devices connected to the router, directly to the internet.

only do it to test if port forwarding might be the issue or not configured properly.

I REPEAT I BEAR NO CONSEQUENCE FOR YOU LEAVING DMZ ON
