One thing developers didnt talk about in their blog… removing penalties off leaving quick play. To be honest if they want to treat it like competitive then we need to get competitive points or some rewards for not leaving quick play. Because that player is always replaced with somebody if they leave and that player is rewarded with priority pass and backfill points.

Before they started punishing quick play leavers, it was becoming ridiculous how often people were leaving games. People would leave for the dumbest reasons or if the enemy even dared to sneeze in their general direction. The mode became unplayable.
I don’t mind the odd leaver but it was EVERY game and multiple leavers. People were abusing the system. Also, it’s really not so bad, I can leave several games without being punished, you have to be a chronic leaver for the consequences to kick in.

Ok so what, but if that’s the case why you don’t get penalized for leaving arcade? But if you leave Quick Play You’ll penalize with a one minute non-game play and that’s include playing arcade and PVE mode. That doesn’t make any sense. And for you to sit there and agree that they had to right penalize players in qp when that player is replaced with another player with double the reward then that only tell me you just a OW2 newbie. I’m in OverWatch veteran I’ve been playing this game long enough to know that this isn’t the best course of action

I think it makes sense to let people leave quick play.
For anyone who is new to the game who plays 5 games to unlock quickplay role que gets lied to by the game that its 5 more wins to unlock ranked. Then for ranked its 40+ more wins. But in quickplay you get people who throw or play characters they wanna learn and thats alright its good it is a must to exist. But for anyone who can tell that the widow who cant kill 1 single enemy on ur team is going to make u lose the game its much better to being able to leave and play again in the hopes of a better team.
When the goal is to start being able to play ranked and not being a quick play warrior. Its a pain in the ss having to waste so much time just pretending to be playing to avoid mass reports because u cant leave because if you do more then 1 time u get suspension after suspension.
Not to talk about the people who are using bots to farm 50 wins to sell accouns for 4- 5 eur. With and without rage hacks. (there are many methods) I dont think that its fun for anyone to have to stay in the game while this happends.

QP is the most played mode in the entire game, it’s what newcomers mostly play and their first experience. It’s hardly comparable to Arcade which is just a fun little extra tossed in.
Also have no idea why being a veteran of Overwatch matters. You don’t have to be a vet to know that constant uneven games where half or more of the enemy or allied team are missing is not fun in the slightest.

Personally, I love being forced to play a game in fear I will get suspended. Someone knocks on the door, no thanks! Damn i forgot the oven was on, guess thats burnt!
Yesterday I fell off my chair and hit my head, but scrambled back so I wouldn’t get kicked.
Remember! Its quickplay, we take stuff very serious here.
Its not like it took 5 seconds for a backfill to show up. I love people throwing my games so they can requeue faster.

Gotta love how out of touch habitual leavers are thinking backfills gets filled in with barely any downtime.

just needed 1 - better qp mm, sick to play into masters. as those are games I can’t win (gold here)
2- remove maps like push or flashpoint and add more hybrid or payload ones. you wanna spend 10 minutes into a stomp? or a match that is clearly lost?
but clearly better do the easier ‘‘solution’’ and hide problems under the carpet.
Because they don’t intend to remove them.
Or just play the game. Yet another radical thought by me. If the game isn’t fun without external rewards, don’t play it, idk.

I’ve had to wait a minute for a backfill.
The first penalty is 2 minutes. You don’t even notice it if you actually have to go do something. Same with 10 minutes.
Again you don’t notice it if you have to go do something.
But having 15 leavers on your team in the span of 5 minutes. That you notice. And that’s what was happening right before the first penalties were implenented.

Lol another of those comspiracy theorists who think everyone now just throws games.
So it’s my fault a teammate dives into a 1v5 and leaves right as they die? Sure thing.
It’s my fault that a teammate gets oneshot by a widow and leaves immediately, despite me wasting rez on them already? Sure.
It’s my fault I get matched into people above diamonds?
It’s my fault smurfs are around ruinig match after match after match
If there wasn’t the leaver penalty I left and you got a teammate who maybe is the same rank of that person.
I can’t possibly think of any reason at all why players would want to leave a game, how absolutely terrible of them :o
Not accurate. You may leave one game. Then if you leave another within 20 games, the penalties will occur. Starts off not being too bad but very quickly gets ridiculous. The penalties are more ridiculous than the leavers imo. Backfill would 9/10 be a better teammate. Not to mention I still see leavers in a lot of games, so that shows how effective it’s truly been…
“Quickplay Points” that let you get bronze weapons
