Fun fact: you don’t actually get into a match faster when skipping the end of round flow (victory poses, POTG, cards, stats etc.). You don’t get entered into the matchmaking queue until your previous match resolves completely. Most people leave at “Victory/Defeat” because they think they are “speeding up” getting into the next match.

If you can’t find fun in losing you honestly need to think about how seriously you’re taking this game.

Are there any penalities for leaving say when you see the “defeat” come up ? do you lose anything ?

Honestly, I’ve only left early (before the vote screen) if I felt the game was really bad. And I don’t want to be queued for the next game with the same team mates if I believed they were not subjectively good enough.

Most of the losses on Overwatch are infuriating, so yeah there is no fun. I don’t mind losing if I know I had the possibility to win but it was a tight match. However pretty much all of my losses are due to either my team being idiotic or the enemy team having smurfs (or Diamond/Masters in QP). Why would I have fun like that ?

I don’t take the game seriously, if there is something I don’t like is people being tryhards. But when my experience is as bad as it is since 2 years, I can’t not say anything.

I leave if there are people on my team I don’t want to be around for longer than necessary.

Some players prefer finding other people instead of playing with the ones they were queued.

Even if I suffer what feels like a bitter loss, I try to stick around at least long enough to see the cards and give a thumbs-up to a worthy opponent. Feels like it’s the least I can do to be sportsmanlike.

The xp bonus doesn’t really apply to Comp games though.

OP didn’t say if it was QP or comp tho

Hmm that makes sense. Guess I’ll be sticking around for more POTGs.

:rofl: Said it before, but I find the fact that even the Devs have this problem far funnier than I should.

Even a king answers to somebody, eh?

Isn’t this reply just a way to encourage people to see Victory Poses, Potgs and making the ending cards voting escape from the state of non-existence?
