with the existence of backfills, leavers was a non-factor

perhaps, depending on the timing
that is good to hear! For me, I have to enjoy the match. I dont game for competitive reasons (90%) of the time. I love the lobbies that I seldom get now, that are laid back and pleasant. most are toxic, abrasiveness and hyper-focused lobbies that are going “THIS IS SPARTAAAAH” … not my cup of tea …
I think we need them to figure this out at blizzard and fast.

And i get that, i just want fun matches, ive had some really fun, sweaty matches, but at least everyone tried. Just put me those
its often wierd, i know there are some cheaters or hardcore smurfs but whenever i own players clearly not belonging in my games and they call out aimbot and hacks i can’t stop laughing.
and some truly believe their words when they say aimbot 
its crazy how a player can be worse than a easy bot and another in the same match can be a a player ready to sign a pro team contract.
blizz needs to sort that somehow.
given you cannot force a player to play to their best ability, i don’t think we ever reach perfection.
even i myself am throwing one game and obliterate the next.

idk how you even enjoyed the game so far if you were leaving all the time.
Overwatch 1 was a pretty fun game in 2017, 2018 not so much, but still a person could play it. 2019 grew worse and then 2020 on up it grew pretty bad. and then when 2 launched, it is a struggle to even stick with the game.
What people want back is overwatch 1. maybe not all, hey that is 100% fair. If someone loves 2, they should keep it in the game as well!
What we need is 2 different versions of the game going. So that way those that want to play 2, can have it and 1, can have it.
If they continue down this path. This game ends. done. Your Q times are going to go through the roof, and your gaming experience is going to become even worse!
Dead by daylight is a super fine example of the leaver penalties that are harsh. Griefers are having a field day. What essentially happens is players hide, and lock out the match because they know if they leave, they get penalized. So they run around the map and stealth.
Overwatch will be the same. Any match without a TIMER, can be a match that can be prolonged and force people to exit match. and take the leave. So the devs better get that one sorted out. because there WILL be griefer lobbies.
Season 6 was great and they did a really good job. I dont understand, what you want them to do atm?
If you feel the need to leave 4 games out of every 20… you seem to give up at the first sign of difficulty and don’t care that you’re ruining the game for 9 other players, and I don’t feel sorry for you. I play this game plenty and I’ve never left 4 games out of 20.

and not everyone is going to have a bad experience with this game. which is good!
If they have a problem to address in the game and that is leavers. there are a lot of people that are not appropriately matched against opponents.
Soft quit the game here. Next stop is uninstall and this will probably be my ticket out and start the healing process. Maybe… not after a few throws though on the new sombra perma stealth tricks. heh

yeah, I am boycotting the game and calling it quits.
Overwatch had a simple problem, fixing match maker. Devs that do this in games that start having leaver problems, want the easy way out.
They dont want to accept that they have a counterplay issue and that nobody wants to be a nub like me and fight Repeated clones of Mike Tyson all day in rigged cage matches.
I am already not looking forward to this because a person is forced to fight cage matches now, and that people with malice intent will fully take advantage of this by forcing lock-outs of non-timed matches, and those that cannot afford 12 thousand dollar DoS mitigation appliances are going to have to deal with the fact that there is now an incentive by bad actors to random DoS and ARP cache poison attacks and that the same thing that happens in Dead by daylight only opens up the D.W. hackers to hose over gamers by slamming their connections to troll us and force us off the servers.
Sure, blizzard can have rented DoS mitigation appliances, but it doesn’t solve anything prior to those switches and routers at the data centers they rented, and just like BHVR does they thumb their noses at players and go
“NOT OUR PROBLEM YOU DONT HAVE 12K in the bank to play our game, gg get rich or go play elsewhere”. in their words. Behavior interactive inc - 2018.
yup, lovely.
I have zero respect for Aaron now at Blizzard. it proves he is fully clueless as to how the digital world works and maybe he should play other games and learn about 2 core issues within a game that ruin it for others. forcing anyone to deal with a unranked match is bad, and of course the people that are the instigators in cheating, smurffing and hacking are rejoicing now, because now it gives them victims.
“dont like the beating by smurffs, heh, tough luck get wrecked”
-Smurffs.
yup. absolutely a dumpster fire of a game.

Yes, all the frequent leavers should boycott the game. I approve of the rest of us having better games as a result.
Yes matchmaking is an issue and needs fixing too, but quitters are also an issue. And dying once and quitting cannot always just be blamed on matchmaking.

have fun shelling out money for a 12,000 dollar fortinet security appliance, if the same thing that happens in Dead by daylight starts happening here, and you get randomly shoved off the network. 100% bets on you will be here the following week complaining your network connection got toasted by some random bad actor on the net.
Behavior interactive inc is like any other game company, they rent regional servers so people have “ideal” latency and that it comes with the steep price of “not our problem” and that you can ask them about the 1.5 million copies sold and about only 35-40k players WORLD WIDE play nitely now. due to their Lame penalties.
I doubt you have 12 grand, let alone 8k to spend on one of these units just to play a game and mitigate over a DoS or ARP attack… let alone the extra money to redirect traffic to a Mitigation data center.
The people that were causing leavers are the ones creating 20 other accounts because they refuse to play at the rank they are given.and the ones downloading hacks, cheats and exploits because they simply dont want to learn how to use a mouse, keyboard and a quality headset for situational awareness.
I have no idea why you’re saying all this in relation to me saying it would be good for the rest of us to have the frequent leavers gone. Yes there would be less players, but there is no way majority of people are running around with constant xp penalties atm.
Actually nvm, you are the same person who tried to tell me that for 3 days straight you had 6-7 cheater per game, but happened to leave every single one, so that there were no replay codes.
I’ll just pass on a conversation.

You seam smart, I know you are smart.
You should easily know that the primary existence of the internet revolves around bad actors and that the world isn’t a “space of safe-ness”.
I am giving you a very basic outlying issue and that is bad actors make it a sport to remotely disconnect players for the sake of being mean, and that gaming companies that put in strict leaver penalties have this problem.
Leavers are there because of people that are instigators in matches.
Outlying the offenses in this game( those whom:)
- Doesn’t want to play objective.
- Only wants to PK instead of play objective.
- Only wants to RDM in stead of play objective.
- Wants to grief others instead of play objective.
- wants to smurff to play against easier opponents.
- wants to cheat with aimbots.
- wants to be a keyboard warrior instead of just play objective.
stopping someone from leaving a match IS NOT going to solve YOUR problem. it just makes them more toxic because you are forcing them to stay.

Leavers ARE the problem so you are wrong.
This whole apologist agenda about people that ragequit matches using euphemisms for the reasons why is not helping anyone, nor moving any discussion forward not fixing any issues either.
Anyone who throws the game instead of leaving, will get reported and their account suspended in no time.
Regular players have ZERO issues with this leaver penalties so if you or anyone has issues with them and want to boycott the game by not playing it, we say good riddance.
PS: If your boycott is throwing games, our report button is ready. Good luck with that.
they dont realize this will cause a uptick in people throwing on purpose

“report” yeah does that stop ANYTHING? how about the plethora of Smurff accounts that are being made.
Doesn’t seam to have solved ANYTHING, has it?
Here’s the thing. I run a honeybee farm and send bees out to the California almond orchards. I have a level of respect for people that if you want to wear a bee suit and stack boxes, check supers, and even extract honey. I wont complain at you, if you wear a bee suit if you do not like bee stings, and want to make a living wage. Despite suits clearly slow a person down and costs me money.
But as a person, a human being. I’d be a an awful human being to tell you to go out into a beehive hold yard at 11pm and fire up the good old forklift and load my flatbed truck full of hives, without a suit on.
The lack of respect that people have for one another, is the reason why we have a problem as a society and why we have a leaver problem in this game.
ie" “im a bully, take my beating or go find another sandbox to play, as this is mine now”
is the mentality of people today.
