on bad days it’s almost half the of the games are unwinnable backfills in quick play. That must be terrible for player engagement and retention numbers.
Some type of protection or hard limit on how often backfills can occur really needs to be implemented
Tank can be a real pain to play with so many brats refusing to acknowledge that OW2 5vs5 made tank the main character who the rest of the team needs to fight around. DPS charging in alone, Moira charging in alone. When you actually get together there you are tanking for your team and your DPS decide to run off and flank no-one and your healers are DPSing.
‘It’s only QP’ often means the rest of your team is sniping at distance in a chokepoint (whether they can snipe well or not) whilst you as tank move forward to take the objective and get zero support.
Leaving isn’t great but tank burnout is real - I’ve generally stopped and I loved playing Dva, Junkerqueen, Rein, Sigma.
Solution? It aint tinkering with backfills - it’s spelling out to the playerbase that QP is a normal play to win mode and creating a compulsory tutorial about teamplay.
Not surprised, most team dependant role in the game in a mode where players treat the game like a joke. If you want to play tank you need to at minimum stack with a support.
The amount of games ive asked for some sort of support when hard focused/countered just to get back its just quickplay is crazy, always funny because theyre the first to complain and threated to report when i just lock Doom and punch around and treat the game like they are
I want leavers to get placed in a separate queue that prioritizes backfill.
I find there’s a ton of toxicity towards tanks in chat. Not every game is going to be your best, but with how quick people are to start pointing fingers and chirping “tank diff” just kills the fun.
Bad games happen but it all gets blamed on the tank even though it’s a TEAM effort.
yeah ive had days where every other match was a backfill especially when playing solo. after a bit i just switch to comp so i can actually play a full game 
I mentioned this in another thread, but I’m starting to feel like dropping Flexing All-roles and just playing Damage for a while. Even I’m getting tired of much crap I Uber to go through as Tank or Support.
Kinda need it for all roles, and even then, having one support dedicated to you doesn’t work that well.
Like to a person or to a game? Cause if there’s a limit on how many times a game can replace a tank.. there will be games that are just definitive lost causes and at that point should just end… aaaand I don’t think we should have that situation available.
I don’t mind back fills like that.
In fact, I’d take more. It’s better than playing full games that are poorly matched from the very start.
It’s quick challenge/event progress.
I have been doing that and I am getting a little bored to be perfectly honest. I crave tanking again…
My Sistah Spice is not dedicated to me. She simply has a brain and therefore I get healing when I need it. Same as anyone else. That is asking too much of randoms, for whatever reason. You can TELL when you get a normal human being on support because you feel so loved even though they are just doing the bare minimum. Ha ha
QP is a joke mode. I can load up and lose 50 matches in row as Widowmaker goofing around and it’s what the mode is meant to be. If people are bored of not getting a single elim they absolutely should quit and look for easier match. Let’s be real, maybe at best 1 in 5 QP games are somewhat close and not a gold 5 player on tank vs masters nerd. Tanks are always mismatches because there are not enough of em
maybe dont make the game 5v5 where the most crucial role (it is) falls on one player? nah. lets keep 5v5 and here’s 5v5 stadium which nobody plays.
we should force leavers to win games as tank to lift the penalty. 
losing increases the penalty. so wait it out, or play tank and win.
You cannot lose to many or it will force you to wait it out.
No because we are on the opposite team with the tryhard tanks trashing the noobs getting them to leave. 
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, telling what he’s won Johnny. This is why 5v5 is not good for this game. Dual tank, Dual DPS, Dual Support…
