This has happened multiple times today: entering a BG that is almost over or over at the exact moment I enter and the Alliance loses 1500 to about 100, then requiring that I re-queue.
Blizzard, fix this BS.

Make a suggestion.
Not hard to figure out.
If one team’s score > 1400, players cannot enter BG.

1)Games with less than 2mins where the difference is score is large shouldn’t add another player.
-
if you leave early the next game you join is in progress game.
-
if you back fill a game you are next inline on your next que and can’t join an inprogress game.

While that is a good list and great recommendations, please keep in mind that we are limited in resources with our small indie team.

You are right, faster to just punish people leaving the game early!!
Increasing deserter debuff for each time you leave.
Can’t leave a bg if you can’t join amirite.

…I hate it when the horde wipe the alliance in the first skirmish and then alliance start leaving…no, that is a sign of the inevitable loss, but it’s only 10 mins or so of humiliation…and I mean why rush to get into the next BG where chances are the same thing will happen again…

Yeah I tend to wait abit to make sure those players are in the next bg before I que.
I love joining a wsg and watching my team hug the outside of the map to avoid Pvping
I don’t get why they join, you gotta fight eventually and if half your team is wiped because you ran then you gotta fight with lower numbers on the way back.

This probably enrages me more than anything else on this game.

Dying in a game is psychological trauma

The solution is the team thats being left gets no new people. Problem solved. The group is obviously bad and going to lose so why drag others into it? Let the BG end faster because of no people. So sick of the stupid joining in progress losing group BGs.

Same here, I honestly ended up rage quiting for a bit after joining 3-5 games in a row where we are getting destroyed and it’s not far from finishing. If the match is nearly over and it’s so one sided please don’t force players into the game Blizzard. just let it end.

There needs to be a database log tracking people who leave early. After a defined quantity over time threshold is reached the system will bar the player from queuing BGs for a day. Account Wide.
Also, after leaving for a second time the person should be Locked out from all activities for 15min on the offending toon. There should also be account wide deserter debuff for all the their toons so they cannot queue BGs for 15min.
A considerable amount of people bail because they know their dungeon/raid finder queue will pop or they can continue on some WQ cache quests when they leave early. Or, they hop on a different toon.
I have entered 5 games in progress this week, 4 of which were wins.

I understand the frustration with weak players who want easy victories. However, there have been numerous times when a fresh player entering an in-progress battle can tip the scales. (Such a player has even been myself on occasion!) But not when the battle is already decided and it’s just a matter of a minute or less and it’s over.
Players who leave early are likely players who aren’t very good and aren’t willing to put in the effort to make a comeback. Punishing the account too severely may encourage such people to go to a corner and afk, then requiring someone begging others on the team to vote kick.

I always try to ask for people to flag afks as such so we can get players. I don’t think people read chat. Maybe they’re tunneling that paladin who bubbled.

Yes, it does happen. But whether the match is in your favor isn’t the issue; rather, it’s entering a battle that is already over or almost over. Victory or loss, if a game is almost finished (however that is defined), new players shouldn’t enter.
should just do a mercy rule and stop adding players to a slaughter, also end the match early
add some QoL changes to this horrific matchmaking system that doesn’t hesitate to waste players’ time

Let us have the option to only queue for new BGs if we choose to. Then increase the rewards for people who are willing to queue for BGs already in progress.
