    The most interesting part for me is this :

    We are also working on updates to improve the experience in other parts of the game. For example, we're looking at ways of reducing the number of people leaving or sabotaging matches, since the start of Season 7, the leaver rate in QP is down almost 20% in some game modes. We’re also working on the way we backfill matches so players no longer enter a game with a few seconds left. Additionally, we’re continually making improvements to our matchmaker, anti-toxicity, and anti-cheat efforts. We're also excited about running some experiments aimed at making the game more enjoyable to play. For instance, what would happen if spawn times were drastically reduced? Look for those to start in Season 8.

    Shorter spawn times ? Sign me up ! As long as it’s not too drastic I see it only as a great idea to try.

    I would also appreciate if they could look into giving us the ability to select what maps we would prefer to play in QP. Either giving the matchmaker some preferences or at least being able to ban 1/2 map we don’t want to play in QP. I’m sorry, I just can’t with the suravasa game mode. It just doesn’t work for me. I never left games in the past in OW, but since the inception of this game mode I sometime just leave when I get this game mode. I know it sucks but I really have no fun whatsoever in this mode. I see it as a complete waste of time. I’m also concerned Clash might end up not really well though out and you can’t opt out the mode in QP.

    But let’s see, I’m glad OW2 is kind of doing a comeback in the recent months.
