Remove qp penalties

bots in matches when theres 400k is crazy. why is this a thing if the game isnt dead yet? why would people want to play with/against literally no one in a PvP game?

If there's there are other players active in the match, then the better solution would be to stop quitting entirely so that their fun isn't ruined.

It's forced bots after enough losses, ~3, after you win you won't get bots it's forced player lobbies. Why? Because this is some retention scheme to make the player feel better and not quit.

Ah, this is actually a good thing perhaps. I presume if you stop being bad you start getting placed with actual players again?

This actually isn't a bad thing IMO... I wish other games had a feature such as this...

You'll never convince me that leaver penalties in quick match are ever ok. If people can throw the match by not switching or picking poopy comps or sassing back in chat when you try to make suggestions, then I shouldn't have to waste my time in there. All you're doing with a penalty is increasing the chance that i'll just go afk the rest of the match.

No.

Finish your match, eat your L then move on.

If your team isn't playing optiminally take a deep breath it's unranked and doesn't matter. Pick a character you wanna practice and run the game out.

YOUR fun DOES NOT trump the fun of 11 other people. I know society now a days likes to tell you, that you are infact a special snowflake that should be catered too, but that is simply not true.

exactly. until enough whiners whine about that, and they add a super strict anti-afk to boot you.

I'll never understand games that have quickplay penalties, especially considering they are setup to back fill. What's the point of calling it quickplay then? I'm not in this mode to sweat, I'm playing it to have fun. If I'm not having fun, I should be free to leave and someone can replace me on the team. It was cringe when overwatch started doing it, it's cringe in any game. Whole point of the gamemode is you aren't committing to anything

Back fill is also a penalty. Only they punish people who are not the direct cause of the problem. If this was a free for all game, leaving wouldn’t be a problem. But it’s a team game, meaning that one person leaving can effectively ruin the entire match for everyone in it. Would you rather risk losing 11 individuals catering to the leaver, or risk losing one individual catering to the other 11 players instead.


Back fill punishes people who don’t directly cause the problem, which was created by the leaver by leaving. Do you honestly believe people enjoy entering matches that have already started over fresh new matches? People want to play fresh new matches where they don’t have to play catch up the instant they enter because they’re already behind.

Quickplay is called that because it gets you into matches quickly BTW. It doesn’t mean you get the right to screw over your teammates.

If you want commitment and don't want teammates leaving, go play comp. It's a casual game mode you are getting mad about people leaving in the middle of. Why? If it's cuz you care about winning, then you in the wrong game mode. Sorry.
I have the right to screw over whoever I want, if I'm not having fun I'm not obligated to stay in the match. And when games want to penalize you for leaving, just means I'm gonna end up soft throwing instead of actually playing, since I dont want to play lmao. Leave the leavers penalties to comp and let people go in and out of casual modes freely

It being casual is irrelevant. If it’s a problem and it negatively impacts the enjoyment of others ( and to this extent up to 11 peeps ) then it needs to be addressed regardless. So suck it up and stop being a little or go play another game.

If your willing to ruin 11 others peoples enjoyment of the game you are neither welcome nor wanted in this community.

Maybe people need to start reporting abandoners since they are literally sabotaging their team into losing. Which IS a reportable offense.

Maybe this can lead to your ( and people who also act like this ) permaban, thus making the game better for those who actually matter.

Oh god, this tedious argument again.

Look, person who doesn't know how SBMM works, even if you are really good - like GM - you're going to get placed against teams of similar skill. You're going to go on losing streaks regardless. You'll just be losing in streaks against GM teams instead of gold teams or whatever.

Being good doesn't fix it, and even if it did bad players deserve to have a good experience and not play against braindead bots without wanting to.
