It was Eichenwalde map - we pushed the red team on point 1 and mopped the floor with them.
They instantly swapped and went bastion, mercy, zen, Sigma and solider. Total Turtle comp.
Now my heals & dps leave the game as soon as it got little challenging. Why don’t we have heavier penalties ?
The game is supposed to be fun right ? This is fun why would you just leave your team and hand us the bag so we have to wait to get a filler. At the max what is going to happen ? We will lose ?!?! that is it.
Now we had to wait for to get the team - we get a healer - he types oh bastion diff and he leaves - no consequences at all.
Now again we are in que. We literally were in que for 2 min to get replacements when we could have just played.
This is BS, when people are trying to have fun and challenge themselves. We did our best and pushed till point 3 65%. If we had team, we could have pushed further.
We need heavier penalties for just leaving the game for no reason.
It’s almost like penalties aren’t the way to go about it.
He just left for no reason. Just because the game gets tough you leave your team.
Install heavier penalties. What makes the leaver think, i dont want to leave ?
Because its the same reason why law abiding criminals do not exist.
The law can certainly deter you. But it cannot stop you.
The fact that this game does not have active admins in EVERY match. is why we have these problems and they will always exist.
Blizzard’s Automated Enforcement system is the #1 reason why we have these issues.
Leavers will tell you why they leave:
- Team mates are potatoes that are feeding.
- Enemy too difficult for skill range.
- Clueless team mates.
- Toxic trolls and throwers.
" You" don’t want someone leaving But everyone else is supposed to put up with others’ short-falls and remain in their match, despite they won’t try.
Its why our community is a red hot dumpster fire right now. And what did the implementation of leaver penalties solve? Nothing. We now get everyone that feeds and throws at the first sign of trouble.
We still have the same problem. It just has a new costume.
Bottom line is. We are going to point fingers at one another.
“if U Feed or do not play a correct team meta and the potential leavers will throw the game since people aren’t supposed to leave.”
Rewards. Missing out on things.
Not “your going to be punished for leaving on a timer that will end by the time you re-open Overwatch tomorrow.”
You mean what blizz have been consistently doing for quite a while now but clearly from your frustration isn’t working?
The reality is QP favours queue times over any semblance of equal sides, and everyone has their limits of patience with that if they’re on a run of being on the wrong side of that equation, whatever level of penalty you throw at them. And ultimately, if you take it ot the extreme (banning people) blizzard stop making as much money, and you get even more of what already happens to circumvent penalties - malicious compliance (people doing the bare minimum to not be considered afk, but realistically putting in zero effort to actually play the game objectives)
The weird thing here ofc is the penalties in OW1 were far less harsh, just a penalty to the rate at which you earned loot boxes (xp). Yet it wasn’t seen as some huge problem that desperately needed addressing for 7+ years.
Someone cynical may consider this sudden change of penalty type by the dev’s not to be about player enjoyment at all and much more about trying to get battlepass sales from people who would otherwise have never bought one and just happily sat in xp penalty territory forever.
at the moment everyone can leave 1 game per day or not sure what the math is. They can probably leave 1 game every 4 hours.
We need to remove that. If you que into quick play, stick around take the L and move on.
No reason to leave us with the bag. Just because you are not up for the challenge. This is bad way of even trying to enjoy the game.\
This exactly was the reason why WOW PVE sucks.
harsher penalties will likely instantly kill the game

how many games did you leave today /?
i havent even played today as im waiting for the dailies to reset on my end
Better question, how many games in a day do you generally leave ?
Impossible. We’ve been told over and over that since they implemented QP leaver penalties, no one leaves games any more.
I suspect you hallucinated.

Again, game managed fine with people being able to instantly queue again after leaving a game for literally most of the lifespan of the game. People were ok with backfill as a mechanism for dealing with it. Most probably still do tbh, the forums are not exactly a good spectrum of the full playerbase opinions, and even here there’s a pretty big split on how harsh penalties already are, let alone if they ramp them up even further.
There’s already an option if you want less leavers, it’s called ranked.

that in reality doesnt matter the way they changed things already made things worse
Sounds like they weren’t having fun and left. I don’t blame them, that sounds miserable.
People leaving is usually due to a massive imbalance and it was probably a game that was designed for all the players on your team to lose. Who wants to waste 15 mins on something that is unwinnable?
I’ve been playing since 2016 and have wasted so much time on this game already. I’ll leave when I want to leave.
