"Queued for your party's match" for good 40 minutes straight

[ุ]

Greetings. I was recently playing with a friend and had to disconnect for few minutes. After coming back, I was unable to join. I was stuck for "Queued for your party's match" whole time until I just gave up. Can someone explain how is it broken? Valve, stop working on that Hearthstone bootleg and fix your ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Match was probably full

Actually, suprisingly it never even capped 24 players. It was going between 10 to 20 players. There was enough space whole time...

bump

I have the same issue constantly and I'm wondering about it. So I'll bump aswell. Same happens to me also when on a normal casual queue alone.

Match was 100% full, if it wasn't full you would have joined the match instantly.

This never worked for me when I joined friend's party which is already in game. Your party can find another game you can play together.

Also, nice necro I guess.

Well, that's what I was thinking aswell, but I did say that the player count was between 10 to 20.
It could've also been that there were already people joining/queued for the lobby or something like that, but I doubt that.
Or actually, it could've been that the team my friend was on was full, but then again, the autobalance would eventually kick in, so yeah.

Can you actually prove that there was only 10-20 players?

Well, I do not have any proof of that, only what I think I do remember, so maybe it could've been full.

Also, at this point, it's not even that big issue, that was only a one time case. Usually I get queued back into the game within 10 minutes max. That or I can just queue for another match.

Even when the match is empty it still wont let me join.

I dunno if this counts as "necro'ing the thread" at this point, and I don't care... this ♥♥♥♥ is still happening, and it's been happening for months. I just sat in a queue for 20 minutes with the same message, and I know for a fact the server wasn't full, because my friend in the server was watching the player count, and it never went above 16 players.

This happens to me quite often when trying to join friends' matches, or when they're trying to join mine. Valve needs to fix this, and I don't know of any other way to try to get their attention, so we can just talk about it until they notice, I guess. It's an important issue: "for people to spend money on your game, they have to be able to play and enjoy it."

The necromancer strikes again!!! Mostly because Valve seems to refuse to fix this stupid bug! I'm trying to join a friend as of the time I am typing this message, she told me the only people in the server are her and a scout...AND I STILL CAN'T GET IN.

It's to prevent those who were about to be votekicked or are votekicked from rejoining a match

Yeah, that seems like it could be that. Issue is that back then I disconnected myself (or probably got kicked for being AFK for too long). Granted, that if somehow this is an actual feature and would only affect people getting votekicked off, then people would probably exploit it by disconnecting during the vote, so Valve making this feature that affects anyone who leaves the match seems likely, unless this genuinely is a glitch.

Edit: Though if it really is a feature that legit exists, then it's also broken, because there are many times I did get votekicked off from a match and managed to join back right away. So I'm also having doubts about it actually being a feature.
But it sounds like it is a good feature that really should be added into the game, if it hasn't been yet.
