I am pretty sure most of you encountered this already: Someone in the load screen is using a PC built in 1995, and needs 5-10 minutes to load the match. I am not even over-exaggerating here, I have seen people who need 10 minutes to load a match.
This issue sucks. But what is the answer? The variable is people with laptops. Laptops have very slow hard drives and if the person has low RAM it will add even longer load times. But once the game is up and running these people may play fine.
1. Separate searches for potatoes and PCs? Then your rank is meaningless if better players are on potatoes.
2. Server side kick of slow loaders? This means Relic pisses off customers.
3. Call the game a draw or No contest. This makes some sense. But people could abuse it if they load into a better team. Just start a heavy HD process so your PC slows to a crawl.
4. Add more time to allow the sync? Maybe the best answer to keep the match valid is just wait longer? But the servers may get busy with a lot of empty "GHOST" matches waiting for them to timeout.
5. Roll the Bones and let the RNG gods figure it out? Oh right. That is the COH way
