If you’re adding leaver restrictions to quickplay, why don’t you just remove quickplay from the game and make the core gamemode ranked? We would benefit from shorter queue times and better matchmaking, quickplay is sweaty enough anyways nowadays.

Stop leaving every time things don’t go your way in quickplay, it’s annoying to constantly join stomps that are already halfway over because of leavers

If people are hard triggered enough to leave a casual game mode…then they’re the problem, not the leaver penalty

I’m not leaving the games, I just thought it was a smart idea that would improve the matchmaker and make competitive more casual, while casual play would also mean to try. and then introduce a separate way of ranking specialised on single hero ranks, so that you could start improving on your weaker characters in an appropriate environment instead of getting thrown into your mmr, thus helping you to not having to make a smurf account. Just an idea. Damn i should work at blizzard.

You realize leaving in ranked is worse right?

I’m aware of that, that’s why I said “stop leaving every time things don’t go your way”
It’s still a crappy thing to do even if you are getting stomped

it’s crappier to get stomped when you’re playing a game to have fun, not just be there so someone else can have all the fun.
Also, what is it with this BS where just b/c i won ONE game, i now HAVE TO LOSE the next 5? Like why do the devs think this is FUN?

Becase this wont bring profit
Because as has been said again and again, Comp commitment is different and for a different audience.
The ONE rule being enforced differently (punishments have ALWAYS been there but largely got disregarded because they were ineffectual) is not to leave more than 20% of your games early or AFTER character selection has begun.
it’s not “sweaty” to ask for people to finish most of their 10 minute games and to at least give bare minimum effort during them.

If the casual game mode is miserable enough that people want to leave, this signifies something is wrong with the game mode.

I kind of wonder though if it’s actually fixing the problem because I still have to backfill every other game I play in QP
I dunno about every OTHER but I am also still getting backfills. But in my experience they are less. I think it’s really only half a solution, they do need to resolve some other issues like maybe let people filter by at least game mode.

I agree with you. The funny thing is that I find more often than not, the backfill plays better than the person who left. It’s actually crazy how many times we’re being stomped, someone leaves, and then we win because they were dead weight and the backfill was good. They fail to recognize that they are the problem.

Said it before but if we cant choose preferred game modes and they dont want to punish players more for trolling/throwing games with the excuse “its QP” then revert the leaver penalty to how it was.

I think that they should give us map vote in QP or something because it would take away one more excuse for leaving. There’s really no reason not to do it. We all have maps or modes we don’t like.
That said, I don’t think the penalties themselves are bad. I don’t typically have people throw (intentionally anyway) and I only have a small fraction of the leavers in my games as I did before the penalties. So, they have had a large positive effect in my games. I don’t really want it to go back to the way it was because that would be a downgrade for my personal experience.
counterpoint. your mom
Id say in the QP RQ menu just give us a list of game modes and we tick what we want to play, easy.
I think that the reason why they don’t do that is prob because they know very few people would play anything but payload maps. It might be hard to make matches for other game modes at all.
I’d be happy with something like, here’s 3 maps. Pick your top choice. Everyone in the lobby votes and you’re off to the races. Just make sure they aren’t all the same game mode so you have a way to avoid push for example unless truly everyone else really wants to play that poor excuse for a mode.
What do you mean by the player being able to filter by game mode? I have thought they should make it so 5 stacks can only go against 5 stacks when it comes to QP, but I’m not really sure how feasible that is with queue times.
