I seen this topic talked about alot but holy s**t. I want the option to not be backfilled into a game that either already losing or just ending with defeat. I dont mind it being the beginning of the game but being put into a game in the defeat card or losing bad is just not fun at all. The amount of times i get backfill into a losing always makes me leave and just get punished for it. I know , I know, im not supposed to leave games but it just what the point of playing that game where i just lose imminently. Its just a waste of time

My favorite is backfilling in a Team Elimination game on the last possible round and there’s absolutely no way for me to play.

It’s the fault of the leavers to begin with (a pass for unintentional disconnects)

It’s terrible when a player backfills into such a situation. That is not the backfillers fault.
How you react is what makes a difference. Quitting meets you get dumped back into the menu with nothing and have to re-queue from scratch.
Staying nets you the backfillers’ XP bonus which is better than nothing. More importantly, when you are sent back by auto-queue you get put on the priority queue for the same match type, which means you get a new non-backfill match faster than if you had quitted and re-queue.
I don’t mind it because it’s quick xp, and the game contributes to certain missions that require you to play (not win) a number of games.
For people that don’t care about that stuff, I can understand why it’s frustrating though.
