Change Challenges from “Win x amount of games in x mode” to “Play/Complete x amount of games in x mode”.
Maybe i’m just simplifying too much but that sounds like an easy fix.
If you aren’t currently playing 3-4 tanks in CTF you are likely going to lose, because of this the people on the team with less tanks tend to leave after 1 or 2 fights. Losing doesn’t help them complete the challenges so they leave.
This ruins the match, for the others in their team (who are also trying to win), the enemy team (who won’t think about it too much) and then for the ones queueing.
It could also use some sort of restriction on how many tanks can be played but yeah.
nothing will keep me from leaving a trash match.

You sound like the problem.
I get leaving against a stack of tryhards or maybe smurfs, etc but I just don’t understand the whole, me no win me leave at the start of games.
Whatever your definition of “trash match” is, you make it trashier by leaving.

Just end the game, this 2 minute rule is stupid
ok ok ok let me give further info. I leave a match when the team fails to group up, when the healers wont heal. I mean it has to be a REALLY bad match for me to leave. I can handle a loss. Ive had many FUN matches and rewarding matches and lost the game over all. Its when I have a moira on my team that is looking at me and will not heal, when the Winston tells me IN CHAT that he REFUSES to dive the widow that is ripping our team in half.
i think you are weighing challenges to heavily.
none of the people I know even look at the challenges, never mind actively go out of their way to complete them.
There’s always a report feature if that is the case.
I also get players who queue for support but then only look to do damage in my games. We all do. I report them, I don’t leave the game.
Leaving the match is for my own mental health. I am happier to just leave and start over rather than stick around and there is nothing I can do to win the match. I will say I care a LOT less when I play self sustaining DPS, i can just do my own thing and be impactful but as a support or tank it feels 10x more miserable to be in those bad matches.
Maybe the QP ones and whatnot.
I guess I’m referring to the ones of the current “event”. I swear every CTF and CTF blitz match I’ve played has had at least 1 leaver.
They just need to make a better more fair/fun game.
Having to pick tank in a no RQ game cuz why pick dps is just a sign of bad game balance.
Play as a full health overpowered raidboss or as the last player standing in a raidteam. Easy choice (basicly not a choice).
Its heat seeking missles vs knive.
So its not the challenge that is wrong its the 5v5 we need super tanks thats wrong.
You made tanks populair by making the other 2 roles meaningless.
Changing the challange won’t change players wanting to play dps not getting stomped on by full tank dps comp.
Its solves a problem not the issue/cause.

Let’s see:
Bad balance + Lop sided matchmaking = People leaving one sided matches
I am shocked! As others have said, some sort of incentive will not solve this. People are not going to waste their time if they are not having fun. Fix the balance and look at making the matchmaking more balanced. People will stay. People leaving is a symptom of bad gameplay.
