How is this not a thing by now? I don’t care if I have to wait 5 minutes I’m tired of joining games where someone left 10 seconds before it ends.
Tbf, its not set in stone exactly when a game will end.
Personally I would rather see this issue solved by increasing the frequency of leaver penalties.
How about we stop leaving games
Because Blizz know if it’s implemented, virtually everyone will turn that on. And then the moment someone rage-quits the match is always lost because 5v4 is impossible. It will be impossible to have any sort of matches - and this is largely due to their match-making that causes people to quit since near every match is a steam-roll.
Read: no such option until match-maker is good (so, never).
How about some balanced matchmaking
Punish leavers = less backfilling.
If something like this were implemented, you’d change your tune after a few games where one of your team mates leaves, but the spot is never back filled because too many players have the option not to backfill enabled.
You mean like comp?
I don’t see that big of a difference. Except with qp you don’t get punished for someone else leaving.
Another option would be to not do backfills at all if the game is past a certain point (like if there’s only a certain amount of time left on the clock, or one team has a certain capture percentage) to prevent backfilling into games that are seconds before defeat.
This should be an option! its not fair and its not fun to have to wait for as long as we do only to join at the last few seconds of a game that is ending! If anything we should all start quiting the game at the end if we know we are about to lose then!
This would just cause it to happen more.
If you don’t quit a and finish it normally, you should queue up in a full game. If you leave early, you Q up in a game where someone else quit. If I Q up into a game that’s about to lose, I just keep quitting until I get a full game…
Fix the matchmaking, but unfortunately the devs are subhumans so that will never happen.
You don’t like free xp?
It is a thing. Play ranked.
You can’t have an option to turn off backfilling, because everyone would enable it and a leaver would be permanent in QP. Not great.
Don’t know why they don’t make it so backfills are disabled for matches with 60 seconds or less remaining though.
How about playing something else
