[2020] Are we supposed to be matched when it behaves like this?

Yes, that happened to me and other people few times, I think it is possibly related to the fact that when we queue in a squad of less than 5 people the rest of the team can get into the game while we are stuck on the menu and of course if we cancel the queue and manage to get matched in another game (thanks to some dark magic) we will get the penalty for the first game we could never enter. Which is weird as one account shouldnt be able to be into 2 different game instances in the same moment possibly...

Problem is this is not consistent, I can never say, with certainty if I am stuck in the menu and the chat is on whether I am really inside a game instance or this chat is on even if we are still waiting for the lobby for fill for example, I try to explain this with the squad size as I would hope if the squad is full no game instance can, start when one team is of 0 people (if the all squad is still in the menu) but my level of certainty is not 100%...

I can also tell you that I was once one the other side of this and got matched in a game against a team of 1 player, possibly because the 4 stack queuing with him got in a situation like this and left the queue.

As well i can tall you that some 30+ ‰ of times I play without a full squad either team has 1 person missing since the very beginning, maybe it's just a problem of toxicity but maybe it's partly due to this issue. It's not that a person leaves but it's never in the scoreboard to start with so maybe they can never join...
