The last game of comp I played a person left and no one else joined I kept fighting in a 4v5 and I wonder how you think that would go let me think about it a bit??.. OBVIOUSLY A LOSS WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, very simple and easy fix that I know you’ll probably ignore is just freaking end the match in a draw or something or pause the match till someone else joins (even tho someone else joining mid game would not be fair to them if they lost) so just end the match it’s not that hard why do I need to pay for some idiot who left the game in the start of the round, it is so exhausting dealing with this ice age comp system this game has and it really makes me want to never touch it ever again and just go for games that actually cares about it’s audience and not making the experience hell for just thinking of playing comp, everytime I touch comp in overwatch 2 I feel like I’m torturing myself like seriously how did you ever think it’s a good idea to punish the team that lost a player by a defeat that cost me Rank progress more that what I freaking earned from the win of the game before, Playing ow2 comp literally gives me ZERO rewards for a win but DOUBLE the punishment of a loss it’s exhausting playing this game
PS: I can’t even report the guy that left that’s why I’m sending this here, very good job ow team
You can leave after the timer expires, no need to wait out the entire match. Why can’t you report the player that left?

Because they won before the timer ran out that’s quite obv how it would go in a 4v5
100 mil potential players, statistically some of noobs will alway try to play comp and leave when get burned. They dont care about penalties on comp because they will continue play qp
Just one example of many
How about adding to the leaver penalty? For example if someone left multiple times & got his ban time increased to 1 hour, then add to it a ban from Quick Play & Arcade, so they think twice, also make it a 30% loss percentage
Regarding the other people in the team, I think their percentage should be modified depending on whether the leaver was with or against them, like if I won & enemy team had a leaver, I get a 17% instead of 22%, applies to opposite
I think maybe you just don’t know how all this is handled…
first of all you can report the person who left. The instant some one leaves the message “Player XXX has left…”. You can just report that person directly from that message - no need to go searching through recent players or menus - you can even do it so fast you should be able to finish reporting during your respawn timer after a death so it doesn’t even effect your gameplay.
2nd that person will receive a leaver penalty which is just a little less than a double loss (at least in OW1, it may be slightly different now but probably the same). and depending how many times it’s happened eventually it will be a complete season ban, but it’s a minimum 15 minute ban for first offense.
3rd you cannot back fill in competitive - would be unfair for everyone involved
4th a comp game CAN end if there’s a leaver which will result in the game getting completely nulled (same effect as a draw) but the leaver has to leave some time in the first minute of a match - when this happens a message pops up saying the game will end without a penalty in 10 seconds.
5th if the leaver leaves deeper into the match than 1 minute the game won’t null out but then they get a 2 minute grace period to return - technically they can return even after 2 minutes but after 2 minutes everyone in the entire lobby including the enemy team is allowed to leave the match and can instantly re-que if they wish (even if the game will continue without them) but they have to accept a loss for leaving (without a penalty though). Some times it’s worth it to wait out your leaver just in case they do return depending when they left in a match because there’s still a chance you could win regardless.
Yeah leavers suck I totally agree with you, in my opinion most leavers happen at the beginning of seasons where there’s more people who only came to do placements / check out the new patch or hero / people who don’t actually care about comp much, and then at the very end of seasons for the same reasons as above + knowing if they get a season ban it will come off soon in the next season (though I think they MIGHT have patched that where the ban will stick for a couple weeks into next season?)
What else can they do about it? You still can’t do backfill, you can’t give the team with a leaver a break from their loss because it would incentivize taking advantage of that where some one who doesn’t care about their account will leave to benefit their own team or even groups to straight up bully and harass a team mate into leaving so they never have to take a loss. You can’t cancel the match because what about the enemy teams time? they are humans too with lives - they spent 10+ minutes waiting for a match, they played the game with good intent for 5+ minutes before their match was ruined by your teams leaver… should they be punished too and not get points for their win?
I think what can be done about the problem is being done. Offer up a solution that doesn’t involved rewarding the losers (which would create a market for abusing it or manipulating it for gains) and that won’t punish the winning team either because they did nothing wrong and you have to respect their time too.
“gg wp” go next no need to get yourself flustered over something you can’t control. I’ve probably had more benefit from leavers on enemy team than my own.

i actually lost a 4v5 once… not proud of it. but damn proud of the oponents.
(they lost a bad dps)
almost won a 4v5, sadly they swapped mei and prevented us from pushing with blizzard.
(my tank left that game)
you can, sort of… that player won’t show up in the “last match” seciton but if you go to “recent players” (and if you remember the player name) you can find the player there and report them (this is what i do).
I’m on an xbox.
You mentioned there’s a way to look them up from the chat message where it shows they left the game. Could you tell me how to do that?
I’m guessing it’s going to be different on an xbox vs a pc.
Whenever somebody leaves from a game, they don’t show up in recent players or in the list of players from the last match. It just removes their tag.
Thanks!
I actually just was dced from my comp game I hope that wasnt me in your game I wasnt able to reconnect to blizzards servers even tho my internet still worked so dont think players are doing it on purpose.
Something is up with the comp servers and its been randomly kicking people at least on the west coast seen it a few times in the last few days. We unfortunately cant even log back in it just says cant reach the login server while on my 2nd monitor im able to check my facebook and email so I know my internet didnt drop out.
Unfortunately we still get the leaver penalty which sucks but its understandable I just do not know if its possibly players ddosing other players to dc them from the map I dont think thats even possible but when I msged my duo he said his internet never dropped so i dont know why else it wouldve just exclusively dropped me from the match.
