Frozen Tower in TC glitch?

[pooplooser]

Alright, so this happened a while back. I was in a normal match in a Japanese S lobby (as usual) on Hammerhead Bridge. On the last minute of the match, we were pushing the tower into the enemy base, this is where things get interesting.
One of the players on the opposing team was teleporting and swimming through our ink like no man's business, then my character can't move for about 2 seconds. 2 players on my team disconnect (I saw the "poof" explosion from their bodies) then 3 players from the enemy team disconnect, one after another.
Still on the tower with my other teammate we both booyad a lot because we got the lead, then he disconnects while on the tower.
This is the part where the tower stops moving, nothing could get it to go. I tried getting off, back on about 3 times, jumped around, threw bombs at it for about 30 seconds. This couldn't have been lag because if it was THIS severe you'd think the game engine would have noticed and kicked me out.
What do you guys think? I want to re-create this in a private match using the eject-method for disconnections.

NWPlayer was in a match where no one disconnected, the tower froze, and the match wouldn't end.

I've had a match that kept going for a long time after the timer. The tower was still moving, and would go back and forth but it wouldn't give ownership and credit to the team on the tower. The timer counted down but the match didn't end, so we all just kept playing like nothing happened and finally it came to a sudden stop 2-3 minutes later. It was really weird.

The same thing happened to me on rainmaker the other day -we both had full teams of 4, and everything was going smoothly until mid match;
three members on their team disconnect, three members on my team disconnect.
It was literally me vs. this one other guy -we were trying really hard to splat the rainmaker shield and it literally would NOT burst (I killed the guy multiple times and I was using the luna blaster, so it was surprising that the shield wouldn't break when I was the only one splatting it after ~10 shots).
However, after a few seconds, the game went on as usual, I broke the shield and splatted the guy, winning the game ~

I think this just happens when the connection lags for the majority of the eight players playing and they DC -I've had teams on both TC and RM where the other team was full but we had two players disconnect, and things just proceeded normally ~
I've also noticed that when lag happens on ranked, it's usually for tower control; I've played a few rounds in which the tower would be really still, then zoom across the screen in super speed xD
