It depends on how long you DCed, you can either re-enter the same match, or you get locked out completely.

Do you have a source for this? I have had people join in the last two minutes of a game, I have myself been able to relog after some serious DC issues... and sometimes I couldn't rejoin after a drop to the char selection screen.

There is an internal timer for the "other players don't loose rating"-thing. it is 90 seconds.

No source. But that's what I've been noticing in all my games xd

@Stand The Wall.6987 said:lock classes with a minute left on timer in map but allow build changes is the best compromise i can think of.this is actually a good idea. i think the timer allowed is fair enough to get everyone situated and wanted to change or not.

Edit: Yes, you should only switch when you see where your team comp may be weak in order to give your team the best chance to win. But you certainly should not be able to see what you're going up against, and switch to counter opposing individuals, or in some cases, the entire opposing team.
