Can a Solo Player leave if they're placed in a match with a 5 man group?

FFS I’m talking about a Match, not the entire game.
Now go ahead and explain to me how that’s allowed to be called competitive?
How about medium queue times yet better matchmaking mode, that would fit the mode in contrast to quick plays fast queues and basically no matchmaker.
How about you slow down the pace at which you reading and try to understand what the other person is saying.

Solo play is not an exclusion criteria for competitive play.

You are the one that has problem with solo play. Plenty of people have no problems and/or enjoy solo play. Blizzard allowed non-full-stack and solo players to queue for competitive by popular request.

LOL yeah that’s not true at all

Its not competitive if you allow it in the first place jesus, try to understand what competitive play actual is.
Nothing about this is competitive, period.

Yea i have a god damn problem if the game becomes unplayable due to that.
Most games were suppsed to be all solo for solo Q players yet you wont find a single game without groups anymore.
How long will you continue to excuse this nonsense and their inability to settle for something.
Ban Solo play or properly implement it into your game.

Solo queue is not an exclusion criteria for competitive play jesus, try to understand what competitive play actually is.

So quit. Leave OW. No one will miss you.

Citation needed. Show me where Blizzard said competitive was intended for pure solo queue.

They have settled. They allow solo and groups to be in the same game.

How about you grasp simple concepts? It’s competitive because you are locked in for the entire game, because you’re queening to play the competitive game mode?

Quit your bítching and play the game, or accept the fact you will lose SR for leaving 5 people at a disadvantage because you refuse to accept it’s not a solo q game

when i’m put with a 5 stack I have the best experience by muting all chats and focusing on myself

… wrong. Just wrong.

you braindead or something?
Nobody talked about exclusion. Its about giving EVERYBODY in a match equal chances on winning.
You DON’T do that with groups mixed into solo Queue, how is this so hard to understand.

Go look up the devs post and there isn’t a single match without a group on console right now (low to mid ranks)

read above for why that is a dumb idea

Here we go, good job on twisting a term to something behind stupid.

That’s not my issue, there are games I enjoy with groups but that’s not the point.
Most of those games feel onesided with you having zero to no influence as the sole guy especially if they don’t enter TVC.

You’re free to leave as things are right now.

And you’ll get a fitting punishment as well, free of charge.

What makes it a “fitting” punishment?

The only one twisting things or being stupid is you boy, refusing to understand a simple concept.

the game isn’t solo q only, it’s group and solo q. You can be grouped with others or have 5 other soloers, that’s how it goes.

Grow up, get over it, or quit and good riddance

I mean, you get a heavier SR loss and a ban.

How is that not fitting for abandoning your team to fend for themselves?

That’s cool but that’s not competitive
So have a good day Sir!

How is it “my team” if they basically isolate me as the single player?
I’d like to remind you that there isn’t even text chat on console. So why should I be forced to spend time on that match?
That match is decided by the better group unless you outclass them by two ranks there isn’t much you can do.
This happened in the past as well but recently it’s just getting out of hand.
Groups in general, I can’t remember my last all Solo match and that is not a joke. This isn’t even border ranks we are talking about…

You are literally trying to say the allowance of solo queue makes competitive mode non-competitive. That is what an exclusion criteria is. What other words do you not understand so I can avoid using and confusing you?

Because grouping doesn’t affect your chance at winning:

No, you make a claim then it is on you to provide the evidence.

In order for it to be competitive, you have to grant everybody an equal chance to win. That is not the case if you mix solo Q and group Q since groups are favored in such a system, their ranks will reflect that.
They even created a business model based on this… boosting

Yea right :roll_eyes:
And a high ranked widow will have just as much impact on a lower ranked game as a high ranked Mercy?

Blizzard’s post based on their collected objective data proves your subjective opinion wrong. You repeatedly harping your baseless assertion like a flat-earther isn’t going to change objective data.

Prove the evidence for your claim that OW competitive is suppose to be for all solo. Not that I expect you to, since you made that up along with your definition of competitive.

I hate stackers so when I get a 5 stack I generally instalock Mercy or DPS and send them into chaos, since majority of the stacks I’ve played with either have a mercy one trick or a DPS ‘carry’.

It is, your opinion is irrelevant.

either get over it, or quit.

Lol what?

Thats interesting

Nvm i took the bait
