The last few weeks, when trying to play the seasonal playground games, it has just been taking forever to start the first game and then taking forever between games and then taking forever between rounds. I have spent over 2 hours just trying to play 3 rounds of playground games. Have they shut down all the servers? I don’t have the time to waste waiting for each game to start. A lot of people quit the game when waiting for the games to start, so you’d think it should be quicker with less people, but nope, it seems to take longer. Very frustrating.
Yes I’ve had some very bad experiences like that. This was a few weeks ago: - YouTube
Last week though, I was lucky and there weren’t any delays. They are very very common though, which is why I don’t play the mode very often any more, which is a shame, but it’s just too time consuming and frustrating when the above happens.
