Dota 2 needs to bring back lobby reloads
Analyst Ben "Noxville" Steenhuisen on his personal Twitter page reminded Valve that Dota 2 needs to add a save and reload lobby feature. It was present in the game when it was on the Source 1 engine, but it disappeared after switching to Source 2 in 2015.
Yesterday, August 30, at Omega League Europe: Immortal Division, in the Play-in match between ??Team Liquid and ??5men, the teams could not start the match three times due to server problems. Although the organizers tried to restart the lobby, it didn't help, and the match rescheduled to September 1.
A similar situation occurred in the match between ??Quincy Crew and ??CR4ZY last week: ??Quincy Crew's player, ??Lelis, was disconnected at 35 minutes and couldn't return to the lobby. The team had to finish the match with him, but the previously gained advantage and the players' personal skill allowed the team to win that match.
