Street Brawl match doesn't begin if player disconnects before reaching the roulette

[LucasTheDrgn]

Twice now I've loaded into a street brawl match, and when we should be presented with the item roulette, instead one player has disconnected, and the match doesn't begin. In my first time seeing this, the player was on my team and the match was marked as safe to abandon, but in my second it was not and I was presented with the warning that abandoning the match would incur a penalty, which I did, regardless of the fact that the match time was at about 3 or 4 minutes and the match had yet to begin. The match also isn't in my match history, so I'm unable to verify the Match ID. If it happens a third time I'll try and grab that ID beforehand.

Just happened to me too. Don't know if these abandoned matches are saved, but I have an ID for mine since I recorded it happening.
Match ID: 55126012

Was about to create a new post about this but adding my experience here. The same happened, new brawl match began at 7 players. After several minutes, no new players joined. It was as if the match was stuck in limbo. Abandoned match, incurred a penalty which felt pretty unjustified. Everyone within the specific match was confused about what was happening, it was a first time experience for every player. It's likely a player disconnected during the matchmaking the remaining players shouldn't be penalized, especially if the matchmaking isn't able to fill in the remaining player slots that are necessary, which is likely the issue here.

Not sure what you may need to review, my username is Am1L if you'd like to take a closer look at what happened, if at all possible
