Why punish people for leaving at hero selection?

Why do you even hate 2CP mode/maps? Like, what’s the case? It has been in game a lot of time for now, why you havent got used to it? I’m just curious… :thinking:

I think the misconception people have about endorsement increases and decreases comes from the perceived delay as the system updates itself. Plenty of times I’ve noted an increase or decrease during an in-progress match, or sometime well after one has finished.

Side note: how the heck does someone maintain a level 5 endorsement? ._. I’ve been ping ponging between 3 and 4 ever since I hit lvl 4 about a month or two after endorsements became a thing.

I think getting punished endorsement wise makes sense.
You are not above everybody else. There’s not a filter to not play certain maps and that is intended (as for now) so yeah, you are effectively leaving a match.

You are not punished XP wise so take what you can get.

Totally wrong BTW QP is a seperate game mode completely most players dont even touch comp, due to various reasons.

Yes it was. I usually leave before the game lets me prepare to attack or defend

That’s true but ppl who get backfilled are automatically punished if they leave and the fact that there was the need for backfill wasn’t their fault to begin with.

Would it be too negative to add a short “grace window” for backfilled players so that they can decide to leave or not?

I just find their playstyle is a bit all or nothing. In qp you need your whole team to attack 2cp but people run in 1 vs 6 for the whole match, it’s fustrating and just prolonged stupidity.

The second point always seem heavily defender sided, attackers regroup and try again but if defenders die they only have to walk 5 seconds to the point.

If backfilled players could leave without penalty you’d never get one to stay. Also, even if the match wasn’t uneven before the other team would turn it into a steamroll before you got a backfill who was willing to stay.

I usually stay if I have little exp needed for leveling but that’s me.

I know that would be a probable issue and that’s why I’m asking if it would be too negative because Jeff & Co. surely have more reliable data than our speculations.

Nah nah nah, I’m not getting married here. Especially when I don’t even like what I’m “committing myself too”

Yup and you can’t even tell how close you are to getting it back

I’d like to get endorsements in a match I actually enjoy and not forced to play. Like when I leave a match intentionally by pressing the leave button but I queue up again to get put in the same map with the same teammates that probably would never endorse me

Maybe if there was a map avoid option or games not full of people diving 1 vs 6, wouldn’t need to leave them so often but as there is, the game mechanics are the issue so leaving the game is the best option, mordhau looks fun.

You’d have to leave a lot before you get punished. I usually end playing at the start of a new map and never have I had a penalty.

There’s a lot of reasons to leave QP in the EU, I don’t actually mind the -75% xp, I have like 30k credits, the obtainable items are not something I am interested in, it just seemed weird to wrack up matches with -75% when I am leaving before 66% of the team has even picked a hero.

Then why are you posting this on the US forums?

Because the EU forum is a ghost town.

No developers apparently visit it either so everything you express there is a dead end.

I can only comment on EU servers but the settings for the game are universal, so if I believe I am being punished for leaving a match during the set up phase it would be the same globally if it is in fact the case.

I would love a better “Leaver penalty”

1.- 10 mins quick-play leaver penalty that share time with arcade, competitive, custom games. The only thing you can do is practice-range.

2.- Limit the amount of reports to “one” per match. So people use this feature with responability instead of “spam”. Also you can only report somebody every 24 hours cuz somepeople put you 30 daily reports during 7 days to get your account banned and blizzard dont even know this

I’d imagine a 10 minute deserter punishment in qp would lead to people just staying, throwing and trolling, especially when there’s less reports to go around.
