so I got 4 backfill games in a row and left them all so i got an “xp penalty”.
wtf, frigging matchmake-nazis.
There’s a message before you leave saying you get the penalty. You thought it’s a joke?
Just stop half assing everything?
The point is that I don’t want to FORCED to backfill, the message is just visualisation of the forced bs.
The more you leave the more you will be queued as “priority backfill”, it’s a positive feedback loop and you will continue to backfill games whenever there is one in need of it. This is the penalty for leaving QMs.
@Cats any feedback on this?
This is how it should work, but I’m not sure if it actually works like this, I never leave QP games and still got constantly placed into backfills anyway.
However, I have never had 4 in a row, so maybe that is the result of leaving them…
Backfilling is not only a penalty, sometimes it just happens, happens to me too and I never leave matches. Probably if there aren’t that many people queuing but many matches in need of people.
Backfill is necessary to combat leavers or quickplay would be just like comp, being a pretty much instant loss once someone leaves. If they made back fill optional damn near everyone would turn it off and it would make quickplay hell.

I actually hsd to wait 4 minutes for a backfill yesterday on a push map. We managed to keep the enemy team from gaining any massive ground and ended up winning after we got a full team.
A backfill doesn’t mean an instant loss

Best are joining games that are in overtime and lost immediately. Adds a nice loss to your stats to GG
Good thing that backfill doesn’t effect your comp stats. I usually join games that end up being victories after some playing. I once had a backfill arrive 30 seconds into the game and they immediately left. They left a game that hadn’t even started yet because they decided to not backfill.
