Backfill into defeat should give you a free lootbox, and near instant queue into another game.

DAE get a glitch where it says “Victory!” but places you on the losing team? lol
Yep. A few times for me

Agree.
People who stay in the game can’t get another until the last end screen passes (Even if they duck out on medals or PotG,) should count for leavers as well.
Which would cause the development team to look into why.
Free 500 exp. It’s not much but builds up for these free lootboxes during events.
plays blank screen.
Just fill with bots, thats what paladins does

I’ve been saying for ages, there should be some method to avoid backfill. Maybe it should require players to have played a certain number of their previous games to completion. Maybe it should be tied to endorsement level. At the very least, you shoud be safe from backfill for your first game of the day.
It would be nice if they would set a limit based on how close an objective/timer is to completion. If an objective is 85% complete, no more backfill.
They can’t do an opt out option, everyone would do it.
What they DO need to do is put you at the front of the next queue if you backfill. The fact you can wait ten minutes only to see the defeat screen and start over is hilariously poorly thought out.

In my four years of OW, I’ve never once backfilled into a match I can salvage because the best I can do is exit the spawn room before it’s over.

500 xp is nothing when a single lootbox requires 20,000. What, they’re going to toss me a free lootbox every FORTY GAMES I have to backfill? How absolutely magnanimous.

I actually just had one on Numbani where the payload had rounded the final corner, the entire team but one backfilled in and we won. It was actually really awesome.
Not usually what happens of course, but felt good.
i love this thread and everyone in it
You, me and many others have complained about this before…don’t hold your breath about anything getting done about it. Numerous solutions have been offered by the community, zero response by Blizzard, too busy making the game more unbalanced than a previous update.
I don’t get XP when I join at the DEFEAT screen…
The game wasn’t on the defeat screen when you started loading, though. It’d suck to just have to lose if you got a leaver near the end of a game. Sometimes, one more person can make all the difference and make the game last several more minutes. Backfilling needs to keep happening (even lategame) so that leavers don’t completely dictate the outcome of games.
Oh look, just got backfilled into a defeat screen…400 xp is not worth it, I queued up for a game, not a spelling bee.

And how does that work? Enemy team is 10 meters away from pushing the payload, but there’s 3 minutes left, does that mean no one’s gonna fill in?
