Remove backfilling

Waiting 7 mins in queue only to get into a game and instantly see DEFEAT, come on. This is so wrong and rage inducing, it’s been asked for ages but now with role queue is unacceptable.

So you would rather wait 10 minutes to join a game, have your tank leave and either play a 5v6 or go right back to queue?

I waited 15 mins in total so, even 10 is accepted yes.

backfill totally failed. It’s almost always into already lost games. cancle backfill or punish leaving QP.

Exactly, or at least give us the option if we want to backfill or not.

Seems like it’d be way easier to just have you both calm down

I just wish it didn’t backfill games like that. I wish it had a way to detect if a team is about to win or if a game only has a certain little amount of time left and just wouldn’t backfill the match.

Backfill in general seems fine.

It would ultimately lead to longer queue times and worse games.

Overtime makes this difficult to accomplish

It’s interesting to me the people who so vehemently want to make QP like Comp when it comes to leavers, literally the biggest complaint in the community.

I play ranked only … not because I give a **** about ranks or because i think that it is more challanging, it’s only because QP has become unplayable. They should make it like Paladins …. if you leave a match you have to close the entire game and if you restart the game while the match you left is still going you get auto rejoined.

So basically you want to make QP like Comp when it comes to leavers.

Or, in simplest terms, make the overall game worse because you’re angry.

Sounds like an excellent foundation for an idea.

I mean, if a game is in overtime, it’s usually about to end one way or another. No one should backfill into overtime.

If it’s 2 CP and the team manages to capture first point in overtime, then backfill for them once overtime is done.

Disagree. I’d hate to be pushing the payload or about to cap, then have a random DC lose the match.

Necessary evil. People just need to stop complaining so much.

I don’t get it, there’s people that like joining and seeing instant DEFEAT on their screen? How do you defend this.

I’m not saying the game ends with a DC. It’ll just be a 5v6 until the overtime ends. When often, overtime usually means the end of the game, it doesn’t seem fair to have someone go through load screens and not even make it into the game on the chance that the game might not end overtime by the time they arrive.

Yeah that would be no problem before the role queue, with it dps now wait 7-8 mins for a game so it is not fair for them to get into those kind of games.

We can do it like in ranked too … 1st leave 10min ban and every other increases banned time … if you join a team game play the game.

I think if you look at this objectively instead of emotionally that should be pretty clear.

Do people like it? Of course not. Do they recognize it as a necessary evil for a casual mode of play? Yes.

Your argument is to make QP more like Comp when it comes to leavers, literally the single biggest gripe the community has with the mode.

Gonna be a hard pass on that one, no matter how self righteous you feel in your crusade.

Anger, frustration, vengeance: All exclusively poor foundations for a community affecting idea.

Sorry bro.

How it’s done in ranked is literally the biggest complaint the community has.

Why? Because satisfying your need for vengeance by punishing the person who left your match does nothing for the people left behind, nor does it decrease the frequency of leavers whatsoever.

You know what helps the people left behind?

A backfill system.

Hey, I am a tank main and I rarely play dps, I get instant queues so it’s not a problem. Nevertheless I can acknowledge the problems other people might have or find frustrating, this is not emotional at all.
