I've barely played this season because my friends and I are CONSTANTLY booted out of games, patrols, tower, anything.

Port forwarding didn't fix it. Going all the way to DMZing my PC fixed some of it, in that it let me stay in the tower for 10 minutes instead of 2. Constantly contacting servers or getting kicked out of patrols. We can't finish a Gambit or Crucible game without one of us being booted on the load-in or midway through. Gambit itself is lucky to start with a 4v4.

I get that the infrastructure prevents DDoS and other nice stuff, but I also don't want to eat a matchmaking ban because of something the developer implemented, so I've barely played any of this season's content.

I’ve all but stopped playing on PC this season for the same reason.
