Explanation

This has happened twice now! “Connection lost, check internet connection” but it’s never my connection that’s the problem. I test it and it’s fine. The real problem here is that I’m getting matchmaking locks! Last time it was five minutes, now it’s fifteen! I didn’t even do anything wrong, I’d understand if I had actually quit the game but I didn’t. This is incredibly frustrating.
