In five matches, I’ve played almost exclusively Riptide. This would be okay if riptide wasn’t a terrible map and possibly made by terrible people, but, you know…
Anyway, is dashboarding at the loading screen against the rules so I never, ever have to play it again?
No, but it’s much of a -Yoink- move as Warzone Farming. Not that it matters, in the end: you’ll still be just as likely to be banned as you would if you just hit “Quit.”
Nope
If you Dashboard in the middle of a match it gives you a DNF or Did Not Finish for that match. Meaning you are one step closer to a playlist ban.
Though the loading screen it doesnt matter whether you dash or not
I could have sworn that we had a thread that was essentially this same subject. And that we had determined that dashboarding before the match starts would not give a ban.
You do it, you get banned

That thread asked if it was detected though, not necessarily if it was against the rules. I’ll follow the letter of the law if I know what it is.

No. Not all. OP asked if dashboarding before the match begins, when you are in a lobby, would cause a ban. And it won’t.
No ban, don’t worry.
I swear I heard dashboarding effects bans.

You dont get banned for dashboarding… been there, done that. Just dashboard when you see the map pop up and done, and its not a -Yoink- move and it cant be compared to warzone farming.
People who quit arena because of a map are scum bags.
Whereas I totally agree with you “n abled bruh” I got a week forum ban for saying the same time thing. So I’d ammend it if you don’t wanna get banned.
I’d commend you if you left it up though 
No i can stand riptide but i think overgrowth is the worst map ive ever played on in FPS history

Agreed but you realize quiting in lobby before the match starts doesn’t truly affect anyone. Cause it will still look for someone else to fill the empty spot. I’ve had to dashboard when it would randomly kick my friends out. I’ve never dashed because of the maps even if some of them are trash

Quitting before the timer will just make the game find someone else, plus, no DNF or ban. It’s good because then I don’t have to play Overgrowth, Riptide, or Torque anymore.
No ban, but why? If new maps continue at this rate of mediocrity you’ll be dashboarding half your games. Just grit your teeth and push through it.

While “grit my teeth and push” is an appropriate way to deal with crap, I’d rather spend 30 seconds starting the game than 10 minutes not having fun.
