Increase countdown timer to reduce drops

[Certain]

Blizzard, in full knowledge that they can't program, set the default countdown timer to 10 seconds. I suspect that they did this to allow everyone to synchronize before starting the game. Mafia modified the timer to 5 seconds. I suspect that increasing this timer will reduce the number of dropped players.

The IH group broke up today after 4 failed launches where we lost 4-5 people between the lobby and game each time.

Please increase the countdown timer to 10 seconds.

The default is actually 30 seconds.

I say we ban blizzard.

The OP has a point. Besides, what is 5 seconds per game in the grand scheme of things?

I'm changing to 10 but it will make no difference.

if you know it makes no difference why do you listen to them and changing it? its gonna piss of some people including myself
10 seconds feels like 10 minutes when ur all hyped for a game to start, just stop listening random people before changing stuff
something tells me same way that crappy afk system got into a game :/ (no offense but it was crappy)
