I hate backfilling a game and then being removed for inactivity AND SUSPENDED even though I quickly picked soldier and ran out of spawn. Why drop me into a game and barely give me enough time to react? At least when I started moving, the inactivity countdown should already have stopped right?
If I am to backfill a game, sure you can kick me out of the game if I don’t react fast enough but why do I also get accused of abandoning a game when I did not get to play the full game from the start?? I did not get to load in with the whole team and get to pick my hero carefully and neither do I get to control what happened in the first part of the game which I am not involved in?
It is a lose-lose proposition to be dropped into a game and join a team which is very likely to be on a disadvantage from being 4 v 5 for a period of time. Add the fact that if I did not react fast enough to pick a hero and run out of spawn, I get removed for inactivity, accused of abandoning a game and suspended for few mins. It might seem like minor punishment but it is punishment that is unwarranted when I did not get to choose to NOT join the game that has already started.
Please…OW team…if you want me to backfill, don’t prepare a load of punishment if I do not react within 10 seconds of joining the game. Most of the time I will alt tab and surf the net while I wait for a FULL game but now I don’t have the luxury anymore.
