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.
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.
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.
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??
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.
