Rivals has this there’s just a little icon next to someone’s name if they joined as a backfill makes it easier to tell why the stats feel off and stops people from trying to do “X diff” based on those stats (or at least makes them looks like a clown if they do)

I don’t bother staying in a backfill match past the Defeat screen. The loss is their mess, not mine. If they want to be toxic about it, they can get reported but it’s no thing. Doesn’t matter either way.

I don’t want to remove comedy from OW. Someone saying “Zarya diff” when one Zarya is 0-1 with 700 damage is hilariously dumb.

wait….OW can be funny? i thought comedy died after Tropic Thunder
What if you get in the match AT the defeat screen?
I’m sorry, but the fact that this actually happens is ridiculous. I waited for like 3 minutes, get into a match, just to see “defeat” come across the screen once the map loads. No character choosing or anything.
This shouldn’t even be allowed to happen.
And I am CONVINCED “priority re-queue” doesn’t work because I wait the same amount of time, if not longer regardless.

There’s a much easier way to fix such problems. Remove chat with the enemy team.
Cool another nerf.
Laughing at blind people in OW is like 75% of it’s content.
Don’t blame the messenger, gamers just refuse to look up.
Fair enough, but I gotta admit, it does feel great to backfill onto a losing team, but then things turn around and you help them win the match. Easy to conclude “yeah that was me, I’m the reason we won”, even if it’s not necessarily true lol
OW could definitely use that simple UI feature. 
It makes it easier to tell who’s paying attention without it. Like when you’ve had 3 leavers on your team and one guy goes “trash team”

Nah don’t change it. I like when these clowns try to blame a backfiller and proceed to get their dumba$$ dunked on by half the lobby. They’d just find someone else to blame anyway.
