2/18/2025 Update - Desync is still in the game but this list of examples is no longer being updated.
Thanks to zingy for collecting these links and information.
Due to some high amount of packet loss, latency, corruption, or all of the above, the server can sometimes get confused and believe that the client successfully received all required data to load in, even though it didn't.
The result of these "sync failures" is usually one of the following:
- Camera is stuck at the origin point of the map and the Hero Select never appears. The only way to escape is leaving the match, resulting in a ban/suspension.
