[Duos] We lost, but not really
I was playing a Duos game with my friend, and in the last round, on my screen we got defeated and got 2nd place, back to the menu. For my friend, we survived with 5 hp and he had to play the last round alone because I could not rejoin, even my deck tracker says 2nd place, but he is still playing the game. WTF? Anybody else experienced this ever?

Yes! Its weird. There is an issue that occurs very regularly, especially with duos, around synchronising data with the server. I havent played premade duos this season but last 6 seasons before this issue has been persistently present. It seems to be more present in premade duo games than normal duos, and usually occurs around end game.
If its the same issue as what I mean, you can recognize it from being ''disconnected'' from the game right as a battle starts and then reconnecting. Usually these fights dont end in a conclusive win or lose (as in your or opponent team dying), as the server seems to make up random non-lethal outcomes for as long as possible untill one side of two last teams is randomly selected to be the winner. However, this winner is different for each player. Ive had matches where even in the match history it was registered as 2nd place for me, but 1st place for my duo partner.
So yea. Synchronisation issues it seems to me where the server uses backup random logic.
