Would you prefer backfill?

i think leavers should get deranked. i dunno how implemented is that, in my first 2 set of comp, i got dc’ed by server and it bugs out so i couldnt rejoin and i stay bronze 5, but the moment i had a set of wins without getting dc i went up to bronze 3 and it been smooth sailing in climbing since then
Sometimes it comes from blizzard’s side. My brother has his game crash couple of times
I have once too kicked from the game and cant log in until the game ended

You do understand that leavers used to derank on purpose to smurf? They need their own queue. Start leaving, you must play 20 games with other leavers before you get the normal queue again.

Well what kind of punishment system would you go for then?
No, because not everyone who leaves does so intentionally.
The best solution to leavers in Competitive is for Blizzard to add backfill:

leavers should get X amount of lost point for the whole team
and the team he left doesn’t lose any points or count as lose in the ladder .
because we shouldn’t get punished for other people for leaving
Thats a terrible idea making smurfing and boosting easier would do way more harm than good.
why not just close the game down if the teams aren’t equal? And the match won’t count? I know some games work that way or at least I think they do. As it is if you have leavers on your team you’re going to lose and that’s going to affect how you play and how your ranking is changed

I play comp to avoid getting backfilled. QP backfill is always the last 20 seconds of a curbstomp when the team leaves. I’m not waiting 5-10 mins to get into that crapfest.
If only the leaver loses the team can bully someone to leave. Also law of averages should apply to everyone eventually. You have the leaver this round. Next round the other team has one.
And that would be a reportable offence and should be ban able, As it stands if 1 person leaves the team of 4 are more likey to lose, It becomes unfair and demoralising to the players. Over time they stop playing.
As for rule of averages yes it should even out but it doesn’t ever feel like it does though. At least not that I’ve seen.

Law of averages doesn’t apply when you are the reason people leave. This is not directed at anyone specifically, but some players do experience way more leavers than others, likely based on their hero selection or lack of experience.
Imagine having crap matches all day, and then you finally get a friendly, competent team, only for the game to close…
They should 100% add backfill!
If you are the person bavkfilling you should not get a loss if the team loses but get the win if your team wins.
Also for the guy complaining about the queue times you get priority queue after you backfill so you dont actually wait in queue again…
The solution to punishments for leaving is not to drop their rank as that encourages smurfs to leave to drop rank faster, the solution is to ban players who leave and give them progressively longer bans.
This sucks for people with poor internet or comps but if you have constant problems with disconnecting you should not be playing in competitive.

So you can bully someone to leave when the team is losing? Just make a seperate queue for repeat leavers. Make them grind out of it.
But what about the team that lose the player? They are being punished in a way because they are going to lose no matter what. Is it fair on them to take the loss because of the leaver.
And I get what you are saying, it’s possible to abuse the system but that’s the same with any system. and I’m not sure what the answer is there. Reports would work but only if people reported it. Its an imperfect system mostly because there are always going to be people who are toxic.
Back fill would be another option. But would that be fair to the one that back fills?
The fact that it doesn’t cancel the match after a leaver is ridiculous. It needs to be that way always not just in the first minute. It’s just an automatic loss pretty much to no fault of your own. It was that way in overwatch 1 and I’m SHOCKED they didn’t change it. So frustrating, needs to be changed.
So when your team is about to win and someone on the other team leaves the game should be canceled and you shouldn’t get the win you earned?..
In the last seconds of the game? sure you should get the win, In the mid or early game? where someone leaving is going to ruin the match for the team? Shut it down then. Early to mid-game someone leaves the other team have an advantage No one can deny that. If they leave in say the last 30 seconds… if they were losing it wouldn’t have made a difference.
