They have heard this request many times and said no. I get that people try to change things by posting here but blizz hardly even looks at this forum. Troll threads stay up for hours with 100s of posts
Ok good. The only mistake you’ve made is that you didn’t do that from the beginning. Nobody is entitled to your time except you. The only thing everyone is responsible to is the ToS/CoC and leaving matches is not in there. So go ahead and do it whenever you feel like it. You’re entitled to leaving
Don’t bother talking to the people on the forums. They don’t care about the inherent problem leavers create for the game. Why? Because they practice it.
They desire to keep the ability to shop for the “ideal game”. They make the claim that they only leave stomps. But I would bet real money their idea of what qualifies as a stomp is very different from what one is in reality.
I’ve proposed time and time again on this forum that anyone who leaves a quickplay game mid play should get a 10 minute ban or however long the match lasts for. whichever is longer. Because leavers are incentivized to leave because they can save time by shopping.
Take that incentive away and most shoppers will stick out their matches.
But nope. The player base would prefer harmful practices to continue because they practice them.
Many people wanted OW on Steam. For years they refused. But now they’re allowing it. They even said “we’ve heard players want the choice of Steam for a selection of our games”.
There are many instances where the team has listened and made changes. This should be another.
When the red team are getting an easy win due to leavers I encourage blue teammates to leave with me so the game gets cancelled. If it’s 2v5 or worse the game cancels immediately. I don’t see why red team should get a free win at my expense.
Just because it’s a casual mode, doesn’t give you the right to ruin the experience for 4 other people for, let’s be honest, petty reasons - because your team lost first fight, because you didn’t get a heal, because you died etc.
Nobody is saying that you can’t leave…but if you do, there should be some reasonable “timeout” involved, otherwise we get what we get now…
Sadly, stinky attitude like yours and F2P crowd that this game didn’t need in the first place, is what ruins this game right now.
Wouldn’t expect anything else from someone named Fartsniff69…perfect representation of the new community in this game…
