What you’ve done is something I advocated once:
There are many players who complain about leavers in comp. Sometimes, there are leavers in QP, too, and for some reason matchmaking doesn’t find a backfill.
If that is the case (Only in QP), I’ll tell everyone that I stay passive until a backfill joins. That way, the match is a fair 5v5 fight
The “feature” which I’m suggesting is something Blizzard can’t add but the Playerbase.
I’m suggesting everyone to “fair throw” in competitive matches. If a team has a leaver, a player of the other team c…
However, I applied important rules when doing something like this:
The number of “fair throwers” depends on the player gap of both teams . If one team has 1 less player, 1 player can “fair throw”.
Everyone in your team has to agree on “fair throwing”. If at least one teammate doesn’t want that, you mustn’t “fair throw”.When “fair throwing”, you stay passive and only attack to prevent an AFK kick .
When “fair throwing”, if someone wants to switch to your current hero, you have to switch .
When “fair throwing”, if at least one of your teammates ask you to stop , you have to stop.
When “fair throwing”, if the leaver rejoins , you have to stop to make the match a fair 6v6 fight again.
What’s important is that you get the permission by your team. If you don’t, you ruin someone’s enjoyment out of “selfish reasons” and thus you are gameplay sabotaging.
Next time, get the permission of your team before you start to fair throw.
