"Network Operations – Yesterday at 6:32 PM On 11/20/19, starting at, 01:30 Pacific Time (09:30 UTC), ranked queues will be disabled in preparation for patch 9.23. At 03:00 Pacific time (11:00 UTC), the servers will be shut down and all games currently in progress will end in a draw and stats will not be recorded. We estimate the battlegrounds will be unavailable for 3 hours."

It is 12:00am Pacific Damn it i was in my Bronze 1 promotion 1-0 and then it says thank you for ending in Bronze. Maybe i wouldn't have gotten it but that sucks. For anyone in a promo for a new division, and double sucks for it being preseason forever now.

Oh well guess I should have gotten it sooner. I remember they said the 19th was the last day but that Server Status has been up all day, so I have been like, time to grind.

And you know, the argument "you have had all year actually ISN'T valid". There probably are people even at high elo that have been playing all year moving up and then get cut off. Maybe like in sports you could blame yourself like teams do when they lose "weren't good enough shouldn't have let it come down to the last minute" but the fact this game is set up to be a time sync and rewards are based off time, so it makes sense to go to the last minute.

I tried to think of a solution, similar to like, if you are in a game it lets you finish, if you are in a promo it lets you finish it. But that doesn't work due to queuing with non-promo players. There just is no solution other than get the time right on the Service Status page and in the game itself. Maybe as compensation they would extend 1 day for everyone if miscommunication was made, then I guess you can't complain if you then got into promos in like a bonus time given.

Just communication

Imagine the kids in Challenger who got all hopped up on their ADD meds for a marathon then it ends. Like taking an ED med and the woman says no, and you are screwed for hours.
