How is 15 minutes of not being able to queue an incentive for people not to leave? On an individual character basis as well lol. Literally any other game I know punishes people for rage quitting constantly.
Most games only punish players from leaving competitive content.

Not really.
Overwatch punishes QP leavers with a near 100% experience penalty.
League of Legends places leavers in a low priority queue.
Rainbow Six Siege gives players abandon penalties to players to leave unranked and quick play which consists of giving an account wide ban to queueing up, starting with an hour to permanently.
Valorant bans you if you are a persistent leaver in casual play.
Why would you want a more harsh leaver penalty in content where people can currently queue into the enemy team being able to 1 shot 3/4 of the players on the opposing team? I don’t blame people for bailing on that.

most games are very lenient about leaving qp. the exp penalty in ow is less than what we have in wow. a lot of games have no penalty at all for leaving unranked modes.
You can leave every match in overwatch quickplay and never get deserter, i have never cared about experience over there it doesnt really do much
Id like to see the deserter thing removed. Its a dumb idea. Blizz says they want players to be able to run instances with those they choose thus the ridiculous deserter for being kicked from a dungeon.
I say the players should be able to choose which BG they run even that includes a BG is a losing BG. We should be able to just bail and find a group we want to run with.
Most major games do have penalties for leaving casual modes which I already had listed extensively in a previous post.
As for Overwatch, yes, if you consistently leave you’ll get a leaver penalty. I’m not certain that you play the game. Also if you don’t care about experience, that’s fine, most of the playerbase cares about it as you don’t get rewards for leveling up as fast and 75% is a major hit. It could be worse and the Overwatch community agrees with that to some degree.
thats in comp, the exp penalty is a joke in quickplay. you can leave cod, apex and fortnine all with zero penalty at all. Valorant is a hardcore competitive shooter with probably the toughest penalty on the market, its not compare to wow
the experience penalty is less meaningful than the 15 minutes we have here
Making deserters take no penalty at all is even worse. More players would just leave in the middle of a match and screw over the other people actually trying. Encouraging rage quitting isn’t something that should be done imo.
some games have a tougher penalty and many have a lesser one or no penalty at all
I think wow has it about right for this game

it really is just an experience penalty in ow, i dont think you actually play it yourself. i leave matches over there and never got even a 5 minute deserter from QP
Nope its a great idea. Your opinion is noted,
If we can kick players with no reason other than we dont want them in group and get no penalty for kicking we should also be able to do the reverse.
We should be able to bail out of a bad BG group with no penalty just like kicking works.

No it isn’t, the leaver penalty applies in QP.
It’s not, you don’t play the game then. I agree it could be worse, but it’s still stops you from getting rewards which is the point of gaining experience anyway.
Two of those are BR, which is a gamemode literally designed around the fact that if you die with your one life that’s it, pretty much everyone is in a free for all scenario where the goal is to eliminate everyone else. Leaving doesn’t really affect anyone aside from the person trying to win.
Aside from Overwatch which, in relative comparison to other games, has a slightly smaller penalty, other games take rage quitting more seriously.
nope, you are wrong. proof h ttps://us.battle.net/support/en/article/31268
Quick Play
In Quick Play, you can leave during the Assemble your team screen without penalty. After play has started, leaving games before you see the Victory or Defeat screen will count towards leaver status, which results in a 75% penalty to all XP gains.
it affects your team
if i cant bring up battle royales than you cant bring up valorant and rainbow six. They are nothing like wow
I literally have 200 hours on the game. If you don’t think experience means anything then you don’t even play it. If you aren’t incurring a penalty then you just don’t play that often.
I do play overwacth and know how it works. my link proved you wrong lmao
i have more than 200 hours 
, thats not even a lot
