The enemy team has 3 tanks and 2 supports. They are all trying really hard and pushed us to our spawn. They are not swapping heroes to handicap themselves. One of my teammate left. We are actually 4 vs 5. My teammates are suiciding into the enemy team when they get out of the spawn. I cannot leave the match as there is a warning message.
Nor did your team swap heroes to try and get an advantage over them. It’s OQ, pick 4 Orisas and a Bap and go crazy.
This wasn’t a situation where leaving was the solution, it was a situation where even just the slightest bit of effort could have turned the tables.
You kiddos nowadays just give up instantly instead of actually trying a counter attack. That’s why penalties are necessary. Blizzard just doesn’t understand how to properly execute punishments so that they’re meaningful.
Wait…you don’t like being trapped in a CASUAL game against your will? What? I thought that was exactly the key factor to trigger players to spend money on skins….interesting
The OP didnt leave, cant control their team and also cant prevent the enemy team from also switching.
Also, the game mode isnt limitless.
Maybe they left a different game beforehand. Mental health is important so i personally recommend leaving as many bad games as possible for that reason.
What map was it? You have about 3 staying options in this case, none of them good.
Go Sombra, cap the objective by yourself (that’s what I’d do… could also Tracer or Moira)
Go Reaper, go after a support, and use a tank as a health pack if you get low
Go Bastion, and do your best to post numbers/see if you can kill someone from spawn (could also try Widow).
Finally, as others have said, the penalties don’t kick in until you’ve left 2+ games in the last 10 (or something). If you leave a game during the setup phase, the warning is actually a lie/bug.
Good luck.
Note: even back in OW1 they’ve said instead of certain games being even they would rather some just GG go next. I feel with OW2 that is their entire MM strategy because they couldn’t make the game fun enough to hold tanks.
If you people REALLY REALLY care about those penalties for whatever reason, why don’t you make 2, 3 extra accounts and just keep cycling through them. If you don’t like a lobby just altf4 and bootup the next account. It’s almost no wasted time oofing and poofing and you only play the lobby’s you want with no downsides.
I don’t know what to tell you, if multiple accounts are not enough for you to leave and still have no downtime, maybe you just dont enjoy playing the game at all, since you’d be leaving far more games than the average person.
I feel encouraging others to damage themselves through neglecting mental health is a direct negative and morally reprehensible action to promote in players.
Mental health is more important than rules in a video game.
If one can be “damaged” by participating in a single match of a video game, one should not be queuing for a match at all in said game. More to the point, in this situation the individual facing said damage should not install this game at all
Again, i consider it a very bad thing that any forum member openly encourages others to break the rules of the game
