With this matchmaking (mostly one sided matches) , it would be more logical to reduce some of the leaver penalties for QP.
QP is a casual game mode, it’s fair to have less penalties than a competitive game mode. The 2 matches leaving = 2 min is kinda ridiculous. It should have some penalties for a lot of leaves (for example for 3 leaves in 20 matches to have 1 min suspession. 5 leaves /20 to have 1 hour, 10 leaves 24 hour). Or keep it like it is, but be able to queue for arcade modes (keep the not being able to queue for qp/comp etc).
Yesterday i had a match that people on both teams are just sitting on the payload. The match ended after like 25 mins because no one attacking. I tried to attack and they kept saying im tryharding and they are having fun. Well, what i was suppose to do ? Last match i had an enemy pharah and Junkrat that spawn camping my team, not be able to take a breath. All of these in the “Casual” game mode. Well, do you prefer people to spend their times midly afking /throwing or just leaving and let others to play ? Because these ridiculous penalties are enforcing people to just wait for the match to end, doing almost nothing. I don’t think that this “improves the gameplay quality”, don’t you think ?
It’s already barely anything if you aren’t a habitual leaver, if anything they should crank it up. If you’re leaving more than 15% of your games, you deserve a timeout.
Constant leavers ruined match quality before the penalties increased. There basically were no penalties before. The difference is clear if you’ve played back then vs now.
If its a casual gamemode why does winning/losing matter? Why leave at all if youre playing well?
Tell me you cant face adversity without telling me you cant face adversity.
They were too strict before and then they decided to make them even more strict. Don’t think they’re sensible enough to go back let alone make them reasonable to begin with after that
only thing ''habitual ‘’ is the amount of poor quality games. that is why 90% of ppl leave. nobody wants to get stomped every game. it is boring, stomping teams who cant fight back is BORING. that is the point.
Role Q can be in its own new mode called “Hardcore no fun mode”.
Competitive can be called “ARENA”.
and if people have a problem with leavers than they need to stop complaining about poor quality content role-outs, because these low quality changes are coming from a game that is forced to rely on its own budget since Microsoft appears to not be funneling any money into this game.
Simply put. its called less players = less money. less money = low budget game.
Which this is a VERY low budget game now. Worse than many of the games that indy studios are pumping out on Steam.
No they shouldnt, there are people that doesnt want to play rankeds and the toxicity and leavers on QP without penalties were insane, so if you dont wanna be punished dont leave the games.
This game is pathetic. Holding players hostage was their solution to reduce people leaving. Rather than admit their matchmaker is having difficulty finding balance or introducing an incentive program like: play 5 games in a row and get 10 credits, it was right to “how dare you leave: you’ll now get punished”.
As a 32 year old with limited time, it irks me to no end that I’m held hostage by toxic players fighting and arguing and throwing and have to simply wait 10 minutes or else I get hit with a ruler by Nun Daddy Blizzard.
GET RID OF IT
This is supposed to be the CASUAL mode
And on top of this we keep getting one-sided matchup after one-sided matchup. Easy half of all matches are one-sided jokes.
If you can’t promise us fair fun games, and you’re not willing to do something more drastic like handicap the overperformers, then at LEAST just let us leave your unfun lopsided matches. STOP punishing players for YOUR failures, Blizzard
IN forums 1.0 we told LEAVERS to go play QUICKPLAY and pushed the narrative that leavers belong in QUICKPLAY.
and that if a person was not doing well in Quickplay they were to leave the match and look for another.
Which we should have just left it alone at that point.
IN Quickplay nobody is really robbed of anything, since the backfiller system was put into the game. (and still exists), and people are STILL backfilled in, regardless of how many leaves.
In competitive, if someone leaves. It robs us of SR and a bunch of stuff.
Plus now in quickplay we have to put up with bad team mates (Skill or behavior) and they simply cannot leave, so everyone abuses the report system, and the matches feel like trash.
Yeah, people should be able to ruin lobbies others are playing in on a whim.
Who cares about other people, we lost the 1st team fight and there’s no hope, let me leave. Why face adversity when quitting is just pressing 2 buttons? Other people dont matter in the slightest.
why waste my time or anyone elses if someone just wants to RDM on the sidelines, cliff dive or stand there idling on the side of the payload zone and complain in chat that someone is not playing META characters and not 5-man dancing with them on the rock 2 miles back from the payload.
Or why should I have to deal with a person that keeps creating a new account just to join their friends at a much lower ELO and curb stomp everyone around them, despite them being a Season 5 High Diamond masters player?
or why Should I have to deal with the person that keeps spamming “group up with me 10,000x” have no way to mute them and have to listen to a voiceline that I cannot shut off?
Absolutely it is a 2-way street there bud.
You can despise a leaver, the rest of us despise the rest.
At least with a leaver, leaving they aren’t disrupting the match in progress other than taking their inhuman behavior elsewhere and giving us the opportunity for a team mate that isn’t acting like scum.
sorry but this mindset is way too simple and also ignorant.
The trolling that is going on in QP is now so ridiuclous that you can’t blame people for leaving.
Punishing people for leaving just emboldens more and more trollish behavior in there.
At least when people leave en masse, games end.
