Is dropping really this common?

So I've played maybe ten or so 4v4 automatches so far, and every single game there's been at least one person drop in the first half of the game, often in the first 5-10 minutes. Have I been incredibly unlucky in my first impression of team games, or is this common? At this rate I'm not sure I even want to keep playing team games if so many people drop...
May the RNG be ever in your favour.

In my limited experience of 4v4, some peoples computers cannot handle the load and get disconnected right after the load screen OR they lose the very first engagement, look and see that their teammates are just sitting around and not helping then rage quite. BUT I have not played many random 4v4's.

haven't had such an experience. Sure drops happen, but rarely imo.

Permanently BannedWe need more info.. Were you losing or winning in these games. What faction?
(If you know) Whats your ranking in all the game modes. Lower skilled ranks experience the most drops.
As the ranks increase drops become relatively rare (from my experience)
I personally would drop if i have an incompetent team.
To avoid this. play and make friends, Team up with your team any time you can.

My friend got bugsplat in loading screen today in a game. Probably not all your cases mentioned are technical issues, but some of them might be, the game could be more stable.

Had teammates drop when we're winning and when we're losing. Ditto opposing team. As I said, I've just started, so my ranking will be low, but if I have to go through awful game after awful game, I don't see much point in bothering to be honest. I can understand dropping if your team is incompetent, I've considered it a few times myself, but the drop rate I've seen so far is a bit much.

Yeah, I guess stability is an issue as well. Honestly, 4v4 just feels pretty bad so far. Rarely do people communicate, and matchmaking is pretty gung ho with the skill levels of those involved.

Post a separate thread asking for teammates to play with. This will help you alot

Yeah, guess you're right. I'm probably judging things based on the worst possible evidence. I'll have a go at arranging a team sometime instead.

Random player dropping from matches is a good reason to play with friends. Befriend players that stick around all match, make up a team and end up playing with less people dropping in your side.
If you don't have any friends to play coh2 with then I suggest Simba and Timone.

Ideally, there should be a reconnect feature to account for game crashes and internet disconnections, a 5 minute grace period, at the end of 5 minutes the player can no longer reconnect. In 1v1s it would be a 1 minute pause of the game, in 2v2 and upwards, the game is not paused but AI takes over or alternatively, players can temporarily control the army. In addition to this, penalty for dropping games with random team mates - like every single other online ranked team play game out there.

I play all 4v4s and yes this is very common. Not once every game, but very frequently.

If you 've just started 4v4 then your rank will be low and you'll be teamed with terrible people.
.
Of course this means if they do drop or quit its no great loss, especially as how the opposition tend to get complacent when that happens.
However 4v4 is not for everybody, and arranged 4v4 and random 4v4 are different beasts.
Random 4v4 is all about dealing with the chaos, you have 7 people to worry about and not all of them are the enemy

Fear not a dangerous enemy, rather than a stupid teammate.
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Even if you have a shitlord teammate drop, you should try to play it out anyway
Especially if you're axis. Get to those late game supertanks and push, and let your computer ally cap everything

Teamkill doesn't happen very often, in 1384 hours I have seen it happen three times
However, one of the key differences between 1v1 and team games is that in 1v1 there are only two players.
You know what your guys are doing (or you should...), and the only unknown is what the one enemy guy is doing.
In 4v4, especially with randoms, you have to pay attention not just to your fight, but the fight as a whole.
Is the other guy person on your side of the map making an attack or getting ready?
Did he just retreat?
Are there 3 enemy tripe teaming your two allies on the other side of the map?
Did a Tiger Ace or King Tiger turn up the other side of the map that you can bomb or mark target on?
Because there is so much more going on, squishy units that require careful micro to stay alive tend not to be seen very much. You are basically betting that you can keep them alive against 4 other guys trying to kill them
This is why snipers hardly ever get seen in 4v4
