Why do backfill games count to the leaver penalty?

Questions like this have been answered a while back when Jeff Kaplan was still around. Here is one key response.

@JeffreyKaplan

being backfilled into a defeat screen is not ideal, no matter how long you wait.

we want to address these issues. with backfilling, we’ll never be able to entirely eliminate them because of how some of the game modes work. but certainly it can be better than it is today.
