Is DE multiplayer ever likely to be fixed?

It seems every second ranked match fails due to someone ALT-F4'ing with no consequence to their ELO or otherwise. In unranked, lobbies seem to fill either instantaneously or not at all, particularly with 7/8 slots filled, with the 'invisible' lobby issue still apparent.

In both ranked and unranked, when the countdown ends, there can be delays of up to a minute before matches start. Sometimes they fail to start entirely. A good chunk of the matches you get to play are a lag fest due to someone's potato PC.

I've played the game since release and the multiplayer experience seems to be getting progressively worse. I don't recall the game being as laggy a year ago, for instance, and the lengthy delay before some matches start also seems to be relatively new.

Meanwhile the devs are adding flavour, new civs that nobody asked for and QOL improvements already well-covered by mods. There's also bi-weekly server maintenance that doesn't seem to improve anything, but perhaps it's to stop things getting even worse.

Is anyone aware if the devs have acknowledged these issues? Are they likely to ever be fixed or are we just going to have to get used to them, HD style (that steaming, desynching pile of crap that we still loved)?
