Only if there’s a separate leavers queue where you only get put in matches with other people who leave all their games so you can experience the karma you deserve.

Oh you misunderstand me my man, 20-30% is what triggers the penalty.
If the reversal of 20-30% goes into effect it’ll be 100% of games you’re able to quit, and by doing so you offer up what in return as a compromise?
What’s your bargaining chip for being able to quit without penalty thus impacting your peer’s quality of life? I’m giving you the option to make a bid before telling you what I’d trade.
All in good faith of course, make your trade.

Leaver queue sounds pretty good to me. I’m sure OP would be down for that.

Don’t forget the backfill.

You never have to leave a single game if you don’t queue.
Try that.

Over the years, I can see the need for a leave penalty.
Now, not so much.
Before fixing the penalty, they need to fix quick play to have a selection for solo player queue only.
This would prohibit pre-made teams from entering this specific queue. If you want to play quick play or competitive with your pre-made team, then you select the other option.
If they put this system in place, then the leave penalty can remain.
This is a very simple request that they can implement with ease. It would lessen higher ranked players from coming into matches with their other high-ranked players on one team and steamrolling possible new players to the game on the opposing team.
Pre-made groups have made quick play and competitive a cancer experience for some players. Many, with the intention to troll, and give a bad gaming experience to the opponent. Especially if it is a well-bonded pre-made group or possibly professional players doing the same thing.

Being a team based game would imply that having a team grants preference, not prohibit teams from playing in the game designed for teams in favor of the individual player.
Solo players most likely may statistically be in the majority, but accept the risk of an RNG matchmaker determining their team when they press ‘play’.
What you ask for isn’t a fix, but an option skewed against the optimal and core way to play the game.
Realistically solo queue (in this game) is a placebo bandaid that’ll create more issues than it’ll solve.

Devs legit are using leavers as a scapegoat for why the matchmaker is so bad and why match quality is terrible.
And everyone eats it up and pins all the blame on people that leave even one match in the casual game mode.
I have no doubt they’ll make it even harsher.
Gamers are some of the most gullible people I swear.

I don’t need someone with 4 posts that was most likely banned on other accounts to grade me, though

It did to me and many people, so let us appreciate it. After RQ was introduced and the content embargo had started, the atmosphere in QP got out of hand : boycott running rampant, leavers fiesta and overall, the experience was terrible.
Eventually, I stopped playing QP and only played 4v4 for years (got me endorsement lvl 5, yay…). The daily and weekly challenges, when the game went F2P, made me play QP again but the constant leavers were still problematic after a few weeks.
Now with finally getting a proper leaver penalty on Overwatch again, it’s way less horrendous to play and do your challenges in peace. Toxicity has also decreased.
I don’t agree. Leaving got fixed earlier, after they implemented that soft leaver penalty (that already existed in any other multiplayed FPS games, even in unranked modes).
I play support the most but I wasn’t bothered by this S9 patch, nor will I be if they switch it back to more healing. The only thing I really want to be tested out is support dealing more damage (headshots being more rewarded) and allowing the team to switch roles with teammates within a match (even if it remains 1-2-2).
Removing leavers penalty as it currently is would probably make me leave QP again and stop doing weekly challenges. The game is 8 years old, if we let chaos be, more and more people will move on. The playerbase has already been decreasing big time since the game went F2P.

Remember when gamers craved for a better time when lack of microtransactions resulted in players being locked out of content they’ve been playing for months if they didn’t purchase the DLC that was 25-30% of the cost of the title they paid for initially?
Good times.
been dreaming of this for years, especially for comp lol
there should be a leavers queue, a cheaters queue, and a “toxicity” queue. Merge them together if needed, so if someone is a toxic cheating leaver they could play with other toxic cheating leavers.
Put all of these cretins in their own queues so they can annoy the hell out of each other and leave those of us who just want to play the game in peace alone.

I’ll give you an orange casino chip
One does not imply the other. One does not define the other either. This is a team-based game. You play as a team when you select to be in a match. That is your team. Some people play this game solo without the benefit of friends that play this game or the options that used to exist in the past to allow you to speak with other players through a search engine to make a pre-made group. This was one of the benefits that OverWatch original brought to the game that was removed with the sequel.
I stated clearly that there should be two selections. One for those that have pre-made groups wanting to play in a match and another for solo queue players to be randomly “teamed” with four others and the opponent with the same rule set.
Your definition of team-based game is not being affected here. Just the option to play the game with nine other players in a totally random matchup.
I’ll see your orange casino chip and raise you a leaver’s queue with margins set at 30% of games left out of a 10 game total.
But you get evade the leaver cooldown penalty of quitting 5-6 games in a 20 game streak.
Do we have a deal?
I couldn’t understand the terms sorry
Well I tried, enjoy your cooldowns for leaving leaver 
I’m a grandmaster GM BAWS I got it covered
It certainly does.
Per your own words, it does:
Then enjoy your 30 minute to 4 hour cooldown for leaving “GM BAWS” leaver
If only there were… ways… special ways… to get around such adversity. Not leaving? Non.
