BG accept/decline buttons removed?

I don't have buttons for accepting or declining matches in BG anymore. Usually now the match just auto accepts and starts the usual process right away when the match is found but I just had a match where it didn't start right away and timed out making me think not everyone's buttons got removed. I never declined a match so it's not that big a deal but if it's bugged I'd like to know since I don't recall hearing about a planned change to how it worked. Are other people's buttons gone or is it just me somehow?

I got the same thing also, and not sure if this is a new feature for update?

Noticed this and also quit button during a match is greyed out as well.

they announced several months ago they were removing the “accept” button to try and eliminate people abusing it.

It changed with the last update.

They'd been saying it was in the works for a while.

It stops people from manipulating matchmaking (i.e., two people try to get a match together and then if it doesn't sync up, they decline and try again). Now, you can try to snipe someone or get a match with a friend, but if it doesn't happen, you have to play the match you get or forfeit.

Yes, probably to prevent win trading in a way at the top.
