Leavers Huge Issue

I have had 4 games in a row now with leavers either before match even starts or later on in game.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Blizzard could easily solve the leaver problem by adding something to Competitive that already exists in other modes - backfill.

Competitive needs backfill

Having a competitive mode without anything in place to help a team recover from a leaver/disconnect is an absolute travesty. Blizzard needs to add backfill to competitive. If someone leaves or disconnects from a match, then someone else can load in to take their place. Have a “reserves bench” system in place for if the disconnected player reconnects (thus allowing for them to avoid the leaver penalty) and give them the option to rejoin the match at the start of a new map. Make competitive ba…

Secondly the penalty for leavers needs to be more severe. After leaving 2 games in a season you should be banned for the season.

Not every leaver does so deliberately.

There are many reasons that can cause someone to unintentionally disconnect from a game - Internet service interruptions, power outages, unexpected hardware failures, & more.

It’s already unfair that Blizzard punishes those who disconnect due to reasons beyond their control.

Increasing the penalty is not the solution.

This is just way to forgiving with how cheap accounts are right now.

I play on console where accounts are free to make and I still say that increasing the leaver penalty is not the solution.

Backfill is.
