Why do I still get thrown into lost games, with seconds left to play ?!?

Pretty basic question.
I just tried to get into a decent game (it was in arcade, I give you that) and got thrown into a 3v3 elim with a 2 - 1 score with 1 guy left on my team (the losing one obviously). Second was a Mystery Hero game, in which I couldn’t even get into the game, before the voice announced “Victory” while my screen said “Defeat”. (What is up with that is another question.)
Then I joined Quick Play Classic and couldn’t even choose a hero before my team lost.
How old is this game again ? And you are still unable to get the leaver-topic under control with, for example, stacking penaltys ?
Leave an active game ? 5 minute ban to join another game.
Do it again same day ? 15 minute ban to join another game.
Do it again same day ? well you get the idea I think.

Also is there no system to check, if it still makes sense to assign another player to an ongoing game ? Like all the Players on the team with the leaver have to actively “apply” for another player, by clicking at the empty slot or something ?
The fact that this is still a problem seems just sooooo lazy.

pretty basic answer: because most people, icluding you wouldn’t want to finish their matches outnumbered. If you like it, play comp there is no backfill.

cant punish people for leaving casual game modes… otherwise you lose your player base ultra fast

@AllMight
Totally understandable.

But I do wish they could implement something like if there is less than 60 seconds left or if it’s on overtime, you can’t join the game.

I know that it’s supposed to be that you join, sure the game is over and then it’s new queue and you join a new game from start.
But the reality is different.

Example:
I have 30 min available to play, queue up for whatever game mode desired atm, join an ending game after 2-5min wait with defeat showed up my face. Then matchmaking is dragging me out “not enough players, finding another game”
And the same scenario happens, after some minutes waiting I get thrown in an ending game.

If I’m lucky i get one full game to play but usually it’s just like this.

That’s why I spend so many hours playing xD

just quit and join the next one, why do you blow such a big deal about it??
No, leaving teams outnumbered in most crucial moments of the match isn’t very motivating for 5 people instead of 1 guy who might see “DEFEAT” right after joining. But what gives??? Go and join another one, problem solved.

Well, but following that logic, you could also just say "There is a problem with a Gamemode ? Don’t play that mode. There is a problem with the game ? Don’t play the game at all. Easy solution.
But I really WANT to play this game. I just don’t want to search 20 minutes before I can play a match from start to finish.
Normaly I see it just like you. It’s not that big of a deal if I can just join another match and it’s fine. But yesterday I seriously got thrown into lost games back to back to back and I just think, that shouldn’t happen.

I was a bit triggered, I’ll give you that. Still, it’s a flaw in the game that exists for ages and I just wish, they would have a fix by now. :confused:

which 20 minutes are you talking about??? Backfill is only in QP, so you are talkin about QP as I might assume, right?? How do you want 20 min. to get into a QP game??

Backfill is in all modes as far as i can tell.

But i’m probably imagining cause i’m such a bad player right? I should just get gud and move on and play these imaginary games as backfill game after game.

it is in every mode except competitive(both oq and rq)

ikr, its basically free backfill points this guy is complaining about :scream:
