Back filling is annoying

I’m tired of joining lost games, it super boring and leaves a mark on your stats. The way I see it you either need to massively improve the penalties for leaving games so back filling is rarer, or give us more for back filling, not just a small bonus xp.

The thing with some leavers is that sometimes you need to leave a game under some circumstances so how do you know the difference between them and rage quitters?

easy solution to a non-existent problem
literally add a checkbox to your stats that says “include back filled games”

I think it would be actually be interesting to see your win/loss % for only back filled games as well.

I play a lot of QP and it basically never happens to me tho.
Yeah sure, when I have to it’s annoying but hey, you get free XP and that’s something!
And it can not happen that often.
Otherwise just play the game till it’s finished and stay in the lobby. It gives you a chance of getting into a freshly new created game.

If always felt that once first one leaves rest will follow and trickle the game into a loss, instead of backfill they should also give xp bonus of 400 if you stay after 1 left already till the end of the game, its when 1 leaves after another that becomes most annoying, and it happens a lot, first one leaves rest often follow.

Or a setting like skirmishes, enable or disable

I hope that one day they will just remove backfilling and start punishing leavers. Any other game will have you banned if you keep leaving even in the normal game mode.

The problem is that there are a lot of players on the other side questioning why there are leaver penalties for Quick Play and Arcade. It’s a double-edged sword, to be honest. I’d rather have Option B.

As long as its not a ban its not a legit punishment. And you can get banned for lighthearted chat abuse or playing heroes others don’t like but not constantly leaving games.
That exp punishment is a joke and you get warning before it happens.
Endorsements punishment is meh and thing is you can even join a LFG party and people will leave from it join a 2n LFG party and leave from that as well without even getting some LFG related punishment.
Basically leave ,leave, leave, leave, leave, leave, leave, see the warning play like 5 full qp matches and its back to safely leaving again. And then you have the people who leave at the end for win rate or what ever (the worst because people end up rejoining and losing…).
