I hate that I get penalized for leaving games like this. Our tank didn’t even bother to START playing, just immediately threw. Why go into games just to sit there and do this? People should be allowed to leave so they can at least play.
Also, I fully agree with penalties for comp. But qp? also I never had any problems with people leaving, i always immediately got backfill and it didnt change anything.

Dont get it aswell. Some days ago, want to play last match before bed time, had to be quick, so decided to go QP.
Got into a game (backfill) where both team danced next to Robot and I was hostage 5 more min in this fiesta! Cannt leave, cuz 2 min penalty allready would kick in. Nice job Blizzard! Instead of repair MM, they let you in, and take sou as hostage…
You really need to read about the impact of leavers mate.
And yes, there were a hundred gazilion more leavers than trolls/throwers. It was brutally out of hand. like 80% of the games had at least 1 leaver, which creates a chain etc and then no one gets to play.
Penalties HAVE to be there.
Just not that often. They gave 2-5min penalties for leaving 2 games out of 4. Thats insane.
I played ow2 from the day it came out and never had problems with leavers, especially since qp is supposed to be casual. Here’s some helpful tips if you get a game full of backfill that keep leaving, leave! Problem solved. You seem like the type of prsn to throw games and get mad when ppl decide to leave
Yeah you are making things up now. “Couple” of things bud:
1 - If Developers had to address , and several times, the huge impact of leavers, that is indeed a problem.
2 - You not having issues with leavers, its a “you” thing. We don’t play “your” game, we play OW2 and you don’t get to decide what is an issue or not.
3 - QP was never casual. The moment they didn’t get the message clear, they named it “Unranked”. Casual games are those that never had a penalty, aka Arcade/Customrs
4 - I don’t throw or leave games and if that makes you mad, you have F2P PvE games to go to.
Good luck .
Youre acting like ow devs havent “addressed” problems that weren’t actually problems in the first place. Like nerfing lifeweavers healing.
If i have 900 hours on the game and never had problems with leavers, I think that shows alot.
QP is casual. Anything other thank ranked is casual. QP used to have no penalties, it used to be casual and now ow devs are trying to make it like comp.
Qp always had penalties for leaving. They were just xp penalties which almost no one cared about.
The harder penalties were introduced in part because “some people left up to 90% of their matches” according to devs.
And in part because having 15 leavers in a single match lowered the match quality significantly.
That has nothing to do with what I said nor I said they are always right my guy.
Balance issues =/= Social issues.
Doesn’t show anything. Just preference.
It just shows that you don’t care about leavers.
Just like some people have issues with Sombra and leave every game with 1 on it.
Again you made this up.
This is not black or white, there are multiple queues and ways to play the game. You cant use tribalism or black or white thinking like we only have 2 queues.
QP always had penalties my guy, they were just XP related. You really need to learn the game or at least its history because you are quite lost on this one and making things up on the spot is not going to help you.
Hardcore way to play = Comp
Regular way to play = Unranked
Casual way to play = Arcade/Customs
Thats how the game works 
wouldn’t be such a big deal if making a mistake on tank wouldn’t trigger 32 buffs at blizzard hq.
hold on wait a minute, tank didn’t dominate the lobby? roll out 12 emergency buffs to tanks gooo!
btw I play overwatch for dopamine and fun.
(fun = winning)
so I will go out of my way to make sure I win in qp. I will duo q and coordinate to beat your team. because for me thats fun, coordinating and playing well as a team.
Otherwise i can play Osu! for solo Performance without stress.
i see no difference in comp, qp, arcade, custom game… maybe skirmish i accept goofing around.
And I doubt people play any better in a different mode. if they could they wouldn’t let me farm them like this
I wouldnt leave QP if the game wasnt one sided. The game is actually dying though.
I see a lot of console players in my games these days in addition to a mix of bronze up to T500.
Obviously this is happening because Blizzard cannot find enough players to fill games. Hence the frequent presence of the one-sided stomps.
On the bright side, that tank just got banned or heavily penalized so you might never see him again.
Only serial leavers ever complain about the penalties.
A 2-5 minute penalty is nothing. Go make a sandwich or check your media feed or something, come back and the penalty is over.
Womp womp.
Folks shouldn’t leave games. Only requires a minimal amount of leavers to trigger problematic thresholds. How much? They reach 5% of the playerbase, while healthier numbers would be up to 1.25% and alarming thresholds 2.5%.
If they needed to act more harshly was because folks weren’t comitted to a mode that devs said is a mode that should be taken seriously.
I had, several matches without folks being able to enter gain, some even takes about 1-2 minutes. Because at some point on OW2 is were more common to find a match with a leaver than a match without it. Which is why they got harsher penalties and doubled down on it due how much folks were abusing the system.
About the situation with the thrower. Well, you can only do is to report and avoid as teammate. Eventually blizzard would take action if that said player do it often and you will not be matched with that said player.
If you are having too many throwers on your team, could be a indicative of how you approach and play, due folks often dislike when someone tries to dictate stuff or enforce their own PoV on others. I’m not saying that is your case, but if you get too frenquently throwers, can be something you do on your matches for whatever reason that displeases them.
That or your mmr is on lower range of bronze, where most of toxic behavior happens, which could explain why you get those kind of teammates.
I only do it if my team is telling me to play the hero they want me to and I don’t wanna. If they are toxic I play horrible , no I won’t use chat , I made that mistake before.
This is how it should be, and its very clear it was intended to be this way forever.
If leaving wasnt supposed to be allowed, then backfill never should have been invented.
I dont care what you say, or who you are, but QP is not the competitive overwatch mode, and to say it is, is insane. We dont need leaver penalties in QP, at this point give QP some comp creds for playing it, they are basically the same mode now.
I still leave each qp match that is clearly imbalanced and my team are potatoes/trolls. I don’t care about your penalizations, you don’t want me to play your game? It’s ok, I won’t.
The only way for this to be true is if you were part of the group of people leaving games.
Which makes you part of the reason the leaver penalties were changed from XP to a time out system.
You cant say leavers were not a issue, for proof all you need to do is look at the forum, reddit, twitter, youtoub, ect before the leaver penalty was changed and you will find hundreds if not thousands of post talking about the issues.
Another thing to consider is that if leavers were not a issue they why did the devs add the penalty? If there was no issue why would they waste resources to develope this system.
Is the system we have perfect? Far from it, however its immensely better then the XP system we had.
Haveing no leaver penalty creates its own issues, and having a leaver penalty also creates its own issues. Neither are perfect, however considering how many people complained about the lack of leaver penalty vs the number of people complaining about having a leaver penalty, Im lead to believe that more people enjoy the penalty then dislike it.
Only QP warriors who can’t climb the competitive ladder care about losing a QP game because of leavers.
They want to make QP as sweaty as comp with none of the rewards.
You get a leaver and the match is over quickly because of it? Looks like the outcome was true to modes name - quick. 
It’s not like you can quickly find another game if one goes to crap though! No, your whole day is ruined!
Dishonest way to frame it.
I personally dont care if i win or lose in qp. But leavers were becoming so common pre penalty many matches were unplayable. I will also add that loading into a game to see a potg was getting old as well. They added priority que in ow1 by the way, so at least it would only happen at most every other game.
There is still plenty of room to leave for legitimate or even rage reasons with no penalty or minor ones. But too many people were shopping lobbies because they dont like overwatch. They like it in a box of specific criteria different to all of them.
It’s not like you have to stop playing. You too can just lock on to something you shouldn’t be playing and go play the game.
Also, you are allowed to leave. But there’s consequences.
Sorry you need to win in a game to feel anything (other than rage, apparently) ):
