"Connection Failed"

How does this make any sense? I try to start finding matches by myself (not in a party), and before any matches are found, I am ALWAYS getting kicked out with an error message that says “CONNECTION FAILED: Your connection to the host has failed, please try again.”
This is obnoxious.

Because it’s trying to connect us to other peers (players) as opposed to a dedicated server, since the dedicated servers themselves seem to have completely failed. I’ve been getting the error all day long and it is totally obnoxious I agree.

It seems at the moment the dedicated servers are at capacity and hard to access games on unless you have a good connection.
