Bill Warnecke:

Hey there we’re sorry for the slow load times. We’ve been working on fixes and expect to have some of them in the upcoming 1.19 patch. We know this issue is a hassle, sincere apologies.

Having to wait for the models to load when joining has been very frustrating, so hopefully this means an end to that.

    THANK YOU! While I can understand this isn't the most pressing thing on Blizzard's plate, it has been long overdue. Joining a match midway thought, only to walk out and be instantly killed by nothing because the opposing team hasn't yet loaded in your game is very frustrating. It got to the point where I literally have to sit for a good 20 seconds before I leave spawn. I'm super excited to have this fixed!

    This has been a top priority for our engine team, the fixes were just a bit tricky so we weren’t comfortable putting them out in a fast patch. Apologies for the delay though, we know this issue is very impactful for some.
