Backfill options

Backfill opinions in QP should be an option to turn on/off

Agreed

and they should add the option to comp where it’s even more frustrating to have a leaver

how it would work for comp is if you opt in to it, and you end up backfilling into a game and win, you get SR gain. If you opt in and backfill and lose, you don’t lose SR

This is a pretty simple fix that could really help with Comp leavers and I’m kind of confused why it isn’t already a thing

And then why would anyone ever have it on? Minus the rare few who relish the challenge.

what would be there to incentivize people into turning it off?
Because as it is, if you have a leaver, you might just be down a person.

Because players would lose their mind if a backfill came in and turned an easy win into a rallying loss.

You don’t think players currently lose their mind when they have a leaver on their team and it’s a 100 percent automatic loss?

It’s about the other team that is going to win when an opponent leaves. If a backfill can change that, they will cry.

Yes, leavers are really crappy. I would prefer if comp did have backfill. But the reason it won’t be added is because most players don’t really want a challenge, they want to rank up as easily as possible.

Backfilling for a losing team and rallying them to a win is the best feeling in the game, imo.

I think the good of having the game not be an auto loss outweighs the fear of it might being a turnaround

I think if someone came into a game that I was winning and turned it around after a leaver I would be frustrated, but not as frustrated as when one of my teammates leaves and I can’t do anything about it

I see your point, I just think the good outweighs the bad

We are the minority, I’m afraid.

Then you are one of few I’d say. Most people would like to play a full game. There’s quite a few who are “eh” on actually backfilling but most would tend , if given the choice, to play only games from the beginning.

That’s why it would be opt in only, and I think you’d be surprised how many people would opt in for zero risk, 100 percent reward backfill games

I agree. I’d even go as far as to say that having opt-in backfill in Comp would make zero difference; The number of players opting in would be so low that players would just start leaving after the 1:45 timer because no backfill would hardly ever show up.

If players didn’t leave their matches there would be no point to have it, But since so many like to lobby shop cuz they don’t like maps or they didn’t get their character they leave. Or if they die once they rage and leave.

But

I think there should be a cut off point being backfilled into matches. Like if there is seconds left in a match and its about to end no one should be backfilled into that.

But you getting penalized and leave quick play but they can’t give that setting on/off feature? You’re not even getting a decent amount of backfill points at that

Just match frequent quitters with each other instead. Allowing us to turn off backfill and it just makes the leaver problem even worse. Majority of people don’t like backfilling and will turn it off. Resulting in leavers being even more impactful since it will take much longer to fill.

Why add a feature for turning off backfilling when there are leavers in the game?

You: Oh Sorry I don’t want to backfill into your game “insert whatever reason”

Other players: Its not our fault someone left the match.

You:I don’t care if you don’t have a full team its not my job to fill it.

You don’t need rewards for every little thing you do in game. If you want rewards like that go to a Gacha game

There are no backfill points.
This is not a real system.

If you leave the game, you get penalized.

Why not reward people who backfill?

Why? Cuz they choose to stay instead of leaving like everyone else.

Sorry but u dont need to be rewarded for every little thing u do in game.

Go to a gacha game for that
