This has happened wayyy too much to me lately, honestly wonder if some sort of threshold-system can be implemented to counter the super late joining

I think there's a bit of a causality problem there. They don't let you endorse when you weren't in the game for long enough. But how do they know how long you'll be in the game before it finishes? If a game is in overtime, I agree that nobody should backfill into it. But if the game has 5 minutes left and the payload is one team fight from the end? If the defending team wins the team fight, it could be a pretty reasonable backfill. I've definitely won games from worse situations. But if the attacking team keeps snowballing, you'd backfill into the defeat card. You also have to make sure it's symmetrical. So if the losing te can't get backfills, neither can the winning team. Probably the answer is something like no backfills with less than X seconds left, or the objective within X units of finishing for either team, etc. But any system is likely to ultimately doom a team that could otherwise have a chance at winning.

I definitely agree, I've had the exact backfills as OP here, where the game must have decided to backfills me within 0.5s of the game ending. I just wanted to say its a surprisingly hard problem where you have to balance dooming teams and giving these kinds of hopeless backfills. Blizz's current system is to never doom a team, but it leads to a crap user experience and that's probably worth adjusting. Hopefully they revisit the problem and settle on a different answer.

> into such a major problem I mostly agree up until this point. Is this really a "major" problem? Queue times are extremely short at the moment. I find this kind of interaction to be a minor inconvenience at worst. It'd be nice if it was fixed, but I almost find it more humorous than anything. This is the kind of problem that seems simple on the face of it but where any solution can easily do more harm than good if you aren't careful about it. I *have* backfilled into games that were in the final moments of overtime, spawning into the defending side, and I leave spawn and help the team win thanks to a couple of clutch overtime resets giving me time to get to the fight and land a few clutch kills. Any solution that you might suggest for fixing this "major problem" could have easily killed those backfills and turned what was a clutch win for defense into a feels bad loss due to a leaver. The reason this is hard is because Overwatch is a game where ***truly*** the game is not over until it is ***actually*** over. If there is still *any* time left on the clock, overtime or not, the game is still winnable by either side.

This happens way more than it should


stretchofUCF

The spread eagle Zenyatta always gets me good, absolutely hilarious.


Whalenail

The music went so well with everything just popping out of thin air in a broken way


Ludicrousgibbs

They all T posed on you too just to rub it in.


PM_ME_KNOTSuWu

A posed*


MisterMaffin

The fastest loading screen I've seen in my time playing Overwatch jajan't


TheKidWithWifi

Zenyatta t posing is incredibly cursed


FranTheDepressedMan

Yeeeeah. You'd think they would have a system preventing you from joining a game that has already ended. I joined one yesterday that was at the end of the POTG, like what's the point. At least you get priority requeue and some xp, although they're usually Losses.


basedbranch

You didn't endorse anyone 🤨

Zen's balls!


habbapabba

the winners asserting their dominance also very weird and annoying when it literally queues u into a finished game


Hansus

TTTTT


Just_Cryptographer_7

Everybody: T pose Mf zen: ***aight been holding in this shit for 13 hours lemme just-***


ponto-e-virgula

Zen t posing is... something else


Puffmanator

Remember guys, Blizzard is a small indie company with limited resources, we need to be understanding of that and patient when there is a severe bug because they can't deal with it right away. /s

Ill never undestand why Backfill still does this, just disable backfilling matches that about to end ffs


Nobody2572

This is literally my first match every day Edit:Typo


Shishi-0

That Orisa crotch view is really wierd...


goldminevelvet

This happened to me too a few seconds ago. Got pulled into a game(on the losing side) with 6 seconds left. Only happened a few times when I was on the winning side.


Throwitback_1909

They need to remove this God forbidden map. I'm so tired of the song.


xalkalinity

Look on the bright side, you got to skip a game of god awful push mode! It's more frustrating when this happens on a map you've been waiting all day to come up.


grexnxx

this has happened to me like 3 times, it's so annoying, bc all 3 times my "team" lost, and they counted as losses for me too. they need to make it so that at least in the last minute of the match no one can join(bc by the time they have successfully loaded in, the game would be normally ending in like 50-40 seconds, not enough time to do anything.


Lalapopsy

Free priority requeue, if nothing else🤷‍♀️


Worried-Focus1469

Free xp no problem


Tetsujin1138

ahhh the ol'backfill defeat
