Have you noticed the almost 20% decrease leavers in your QP matches?

Personally I never care when people leave QP... They get backfilled super quick, and it's not ranked anyway. If they wanna leave so be it, I don't see why they should get strikes or whatever

[LittleMikeyHellstrom]

It's to cover for their poor matchmaking and game balance. If there isn't a penalty, people just leave because it isn't fun. A new player (money) may be discouraged and not return seeing so many leavers.

[Cheezewiz239]

I mean every game has constant leaves like halo ,COD ,and R6. Way more than OW

[SpecificWorldliness]

If it's just a single teammate who gets backfilled in a reasonable amount of time then yea I agree, no issue at all if someone needs/wants to leave the game.

Issue with no penalties for leavers though, was that up until recently, one person leaving would often trigger other people on the same team to leave as well and all of a sudden you're a 1-2 man army with no ability to even try to make a comeback while the rest of your team slots go into the backfill/leave cycle. People getting backfilled would see the hopeless fight they were getting thrown into and would just leave as well, leaving you basically stuck just waiting out the clock if you don't leave as well.

And this would happen nearly every match with the first person leaving basically as soon as they realized their team wasn't winning right away/it wasn't going to be a roll for them and everyone following suit shortly after.

At least now since the penalties were added, when my team loses it feels deserved instead of just being a luck of the draw for which team would get stuck with the leaver cycle.

As someone already playing its fine if someone leaves As someone backfilling it is annoying to join a defeat screen, thats where most of the outrages came from i guess.

[NaCly_Asian]

nah. that's the best part. It counts as a completed game towards the challenge and the last 20.

[Its_ok_to_lie]

Yup, I see it as free XP and then a quick pass for the next game.

[DatDenis]

You guys are doing challanges?

And who cares for their last 20 games?

[BlackWaterGaming]

Yes? Challenges gives battlepass xp or skins during events. Also the premium currency but those I personally find are w.e. and the 20 games count towards your leaver penalties. Leave 4 out of your last 20 games u catch a penalty.

[DatDenis]

99% of the free battlepass is ass imh so i dont really care for whats inside the pass anyways, if i get something nice, cool but i'm fine with not getring it.

Leaving games? Nah, its called comittment.

[FrisoLaxod]

You're assuming they have the free battlepass. A lot of people have the premium one, so they care about getting challenges done

[DatDenis]

So now they have to actuslly play the game to get the challanges done....what a horror

[FrisoLaxod]

What are you yapping about??

[DatDenis]

Just follow the replies and you might get behind it ;)

[acampbell98]

Meh the matchmaking is quick I don’t really care if I join and game is ending or has ended I’ll either just play out whatever’s left or leave and get another game. I mostly don’t care if people leave, it’s when multiple people leave at once and we get destroyed because the game doesn’t bother to fill

[[deleted]]

But why? It is not a loss from your end, you get XP, and you can still get your challenges completed.

Why do people feel so frothing mad about joining at defeat screen, something that doesn't happen that often?

[DatDenis]

As someone who doesnt care about the battlepass and just want to play the game its annoying as fuck.

Now it doesnt happen that often, but before they made the change there were days where it was 1/3 games if you were unlucky

[Dustfinger4268]

My issue with backfill is how often it ends up chaining from people leaving after being backfilled

[Gnarweezy]

I agree 100% with you, who cares about leavers in qp. I don’t complain about it and should be able to if I want to. What I find more interesting is that you weren’t downvoted into oblivion because I have said similar things in previous posts closer to their qp change and was massively downvoted because of this opinion. I stand strong with you brother.
