Competitive isn’t fun. There’s so much fear of losing SR, that teams just play it safe with boring picks, and way too much tilt because of SR loss.
I play QP every bit as seriously as comp. But the benefits of QP is that there’s nothing riding on the outcome other than some XP. You can’t LOSE anything if you don’t win.
I’d love a “semi-serious” mode. But since it doesn’t exist, I’m on a crusade to turn QP into just that.
Literally just ignore SR. It’s what I’ve been doing since I hit my goal of GM. I just play competitive for the more serious nature of it. QP blows - most people consider it a joke, so the games become jokes.
The only way to enjoy Overwatch is to play with the mindset that you want to lose.
If you win, great, that’s positive. But if you lose, you wont tilt, because that’s what you expected.
If you find that someone is throwing, at the most you’ve wasted what? 5-10 mins? Probably less since the match will end fast.
The consequence of you leaving however, is that now 5 people have wasted their time. It’s a very selfish thing to do, and pretty much a betrayal of your team to leave.
Which ones are alt accounts?
Literally everything?
Its qp mate, you dont lose sr for it, so harsh punishments like this are by far unnecessary
And the “including backfills” part is by far the worst part in your suggestion. If someone joins a game where theyre clearly going to lose theres no point in wasting time.
I’d prefer to be able to leave a quickplay game for whatever reason without a one hour ban 
The downside would be a very quickly dead game
-75% xp is not even a good penalty, heck I bet you a lot of players run around with the penalty on and don’t even care they have it. XP has decayed a lot in value.
You’d rather have someone AFK than backfill?
I kind of envisioned the OP’s idea as a replacement for the xp penalty, so this would only happen if they left a bunch of games. I’m all for it, I hate getting dragged into games because someone rage quit.
I’m against unless you remove backfill altogether or give me the option to not backfill matches that someone else quit.
I usually quit backfilled matches in the moment i’m put on it.
Sometimes my internet disconnects. It’s whatever, it flickers off and on again, I’m out for as long as it takes for me to sign in to overwatch again. I don’t play comp because my internet is relatively unreliable, I only play QP and arcade.
You’re suggesting that I be banned almost at random. I understand it’s not Blizzard’s fault that my internet is sht, but QP is supposed to be the mode where it doesn’t matter as much if you leave mid-match. That’s why it’s there to begin with, why it’s not supposed to be serious; It’s just a quick game of Overwatch because life happens and to some people it happens more often than others.
If you prevent me from leaving the game, I’ll just run straight at the enemy and die over and over until the game ends.
Thats a “downside” you should expect to happen instantly.
People with unstable systems or internet connections would be totally unable to play. Also, people trapped in truly awful matches would get super toxic.
Actually taking the game too seriously is the root of all toxicity and frustration.
I wouldn’t do an one hour ban. That’s too harsh for people who lose connection or for people that need to do something. I think a xp penalty should be used instead or something like that. Then again, that isn’t really much imo…
An increase in the number of instant defeat screens due to the embarrassingly bad backfill system. It’s quickplay. No one should be taking it that seriously. If someone isn’t enjoying it, they should be able to leave. This would only make people hate the game more.
I would have made it 15-30 minutes after three strikes (in case of disconnections or emergencies). There was another game I used to play that did this and there weren’t many leavers in that game. (Can’t remember the game but it was a FPS like Unreal).
I’m on the fence with this one though. If someone hates the match but is forced to stay, they could also throw.
Instead of crusading for an additional mode to make everyone happy, your crusading selfishly for your own fun?
Quick-Play need leaver penalties because the matches last 5 - 6 mins if you CAN’T stay 5 mins on a game why you even dare to play?
First Leave of the day 10 mins penalty
Second Leave of the day 20 mins penalty
Third leave of the day 30 mins penalty
Four leave of the day 40 mins penalty
Five leave of the day 12 hours penalty
Competitive mode will not SHARE penalties with anybody
Quick-Play will share time with competitive to put some discipline
Arcade will not have any form of penalties
