lag outs happening more often after patch

lag outs before the match began has always been an issue, but now it seems to have gotten worse. I find myself lagging out of a game before it even starts a lot more than before. This has been the cause of all three of my losses and more likely than not, will be the cause of future losses as well.I am now forced to dodge lower ranked players in the fear of lagging out and losing a lot of rank. I know many other players are experiencing the same problem and all agree that it has been happening more frequently now post patch. has anyone else experienced this?
