QP:
So that’s most matches having leaver at beginning or at end, both of which are happening A LOT more lately.
This game is just a total dumpster fire trying to complete weekly objectives.
No mention of joining 0-1 control map games? Those are by far the biggest source of leavers and backfillers. Of course it could easily be fixed if they would just remove the rounds to stop throwers from making them huge waste of time to play on especially when it comes to win challenges.
Matches #3 and #4 were control maps that I joined at start with leavers at start, but also both of those had leavers on losing side after round 1. The second match had a leaver just before end of match.
Sounds about right. The number one source of my losses are those maps. If not for the time wasting round garbage they would have been wins instead. 1-0 games without fail end up being 1-2 because of useless throwers that forget how to play or don’t care anymore or afkers and leavers. I’m really sick of this Blizzard. If you’re gonna waste my time on these maps then at least make it worth not leaving them by removing all the win challenges.
I’m normally fine with backfill, leavers etc. strictly in QP but I can’t deny that it’s getting worse. I even had a couple of games yesterday where three people on the enemy upped and left after losing the first fight, and then the games were cancelled due to “not enough players”.
Maybe it really is time for harsher measures, such as a five minute timeout or whatever.
In QP yes. Since it’s “quick” play it makes little sense to play the same length of game as in comp. Same goes for Push. Drop push to 8m, drop CP to 1 round with the percent going up slower. That makes more sense and would fix at least part of the leaver problems in QP.
The round garbage should only be for comp modes. In no way should it be anywhere else. Push and control are time wasting torture if you want challenges done.
Yea this for sure. I like control maps but two rounds to win in QP is punishing, just like Push being 10 minutes of pulling teeth.
Both should be ranked only.
Report and move on imo. I report any leaver who leaves after a team fight is lost or end of round. If you leave at the beginning before the gates open thats fine.
But you HAVE to stay after you backfill, if you dont you are the worst person ever and you deserve to get banned according to the community
Never mind knowing that you wont win or that QP is supposedly a safe space to leave whenever
