As you know there has been issues with the battle.net servers recently.
I play in EU and haven't experienced any problems until today. Sometimes when you queue, it appears as if it keeps looking indefinitely and gives you the "DCed from match" message. Often you just have to restart and lose a star, but sometimes you can reconnect to the game you supposedly played. However the game keeps skipping your turn until you concede or lose. The issue here is that the game starts even though you were unable to connect, it starts for you opponent only.
I have been saying for a while that Blizzard needs to stop giving you a loss for DCing normally, but especially when the game breaks and starts the game for your opponent and not you (which must be a bug or something). This is a very annoying problem in Arena aswell, where sometimes both players get a loss. This is just dumb and needs to change. Blizzard punishes you for a mistake on their part. If they actually change it to not giving losses for DCs it's not like you can take advantage of this by cutting their connection, it's just a waste of time and there are rules in Tournaments.
Thoughts? (also i'm just a little bit salty when writing the post, doing pretty well outside of disconnects)
