In qp and arcade, Do NOT stick me in a game where the team I’m joining is hopelessly lost. It’s a waste of my time. And theirs. When someone quits a game, just let the game carry out with the crap team down a man. And if a person quits a game more than 3 times in 2 hours, ban them for 24 hrs.

Sorry, necessary evil. If you really don’t like filling, support people when they ask for harsher penalties for leavers.

I agree with this so much until you said if someone quits 3 times in a few hours during qp or arcade.
I get tired of the 6dps meta, I get tired of people “trolling” (for a lack of better words), and sometimes I have to quit a game of qp / arcade for mundane things like the pizza man came to the door.
I shouldnt get a 24 hour ban on a mode that literally has no consequences, but I understand the frustration of getting into a game that you wont win or getting in and seeing “DEFEAT”
Id say have a timeframe during the match where if its too close to overtime or in overtime, you cant get a 6th player to replace the leaver

Maybe they could implement a maximum backfill threshhold for a given time period.
Say, for example, within a 24-hour period, you’ve backfilled 5 times. Since 5 is the maximum threshhold, for the remainder of that 24-hour period, you would be exempt from backfilling matches.
For the folks that don’t mind backfilling, there could be an option under the Social tab in the Options menu called “Disable Backfill Exemption” that you could toggle to negate the threshhold.

They need to punish leavers much more harshly while also improving backfill by making it impossible to backfill within a certain amount of time to the end of the match.

Im on board with harsh penalties to people who leave. Not having games fill back up is a terrible idea tho. Soon as someone quits the other team pretty much wins, with how often ppl currently quit almost every game will have the losing team missing 1 or more people.

Often times the people leaving are the ones not doing well…can’t tell you how many times the person that comes in turns things around…
People do get penalized if they do it often but actually I wouldn’t mind seeing a stricter immediate penalty:
Namely leaving a game should prevent you from queuing for another for a certain amount of time…cause you know the ones that leave near the end of a match are immediately in queue for another…hit them right where it hurts I say

If they start enforcing bans in QP given the quality it is in now, a lot of people are just going to leave the game, I wager. Thing is, QP’s quality is extremely low, and it’s not fun being one of the few that play to actually win, while the rest of team is roflmaopracticemode and only wants to frag.
Yeah, I’m a QP leaver when I played Overwatch, simply because I was sick and tired of being roflstomped by a superior team playing as a team based shooter while my team had the “lol only QP” mentality. If I wanted to play an arena shooter and play solo, I would play Arcade or another game than Overwatch.
So the solution in my opinion for the developers, is to get their heads out of the behind of E-Sports and start caring for the casual side of the game, including taking a stance on how QP is suppose to be played. But given that the developers at this stage is beyond even a pretence of care, the best option is simply uninstall the game, because QP will never change on the accord player interaction. Either we get the developers on-board to start caring or nothing will change, that’s the simple fact.

I will take all your backfill games. I win more than I lose when backfilling. And losing isn’t a big deal to me at all. No amount or degree of penalties will ever stop leavers. My solution? Make a system where leavers are not so disruptive. Embrace it, since fighting it has proven utterly fruitless. Punishing players for leaving a video game is one if the dumbest things I’ve ever seen in over 30 years of gaming.
Maybe he meant OP as in “the original post,” not “ayyoooo it’s ya boi OP”

Getting into the game just to see the defeat message is pretty terrible. There’s going to be a time window where anything after is damn near impossible to get a win where they should just stick a bot of the last character who left that spot to finish the game. The rest operates like it normally does with fills and priority reque.
Nah, just remove the ability to backfill into a game that has already ended

Laughing at how quickly that rickroll thread 404’d.
My leg’s all jacked up because I fell off of my electric scooter. I’m laid up and can’t work for 2 months during the worst balance phase of OW history.
