Anet should program something that games can not start unless both teams have 5 players present. And to those who say it’s impossible, i’ve added a screenshot of a game starting at 4v5 while the 5th never entered.
Technically what should have happened is that the account of the 5th should get a dishonorable debuff for a decent while (he was unable to return for over 2 minutes, bs) and someone within the MMR range should be fetched from the queue, the wait time extended with 1 minute so that the guy from the queue can load up decently and automatically set all players already in game to “i am ready”.
Only if someone DC’s during the on-going game, the current grace time thing should happen and noone should be picked from the queue, but there can’t be any harm in picking a latecomer from the queue for a game that hasn’t started yet!
