Overwatch 2 Players Face Bans For Leaving Games They Never Did

The game’s leaver penalties are harsh, but apply regardless of why you disconnected

Overwatch 2 outlined several new rules and penalties it would be implementing in season 10 to help curate a less hostile player environment on April 10. But since the season began last week, players have been reporting bans that would typically be applied to someone leaving a game early being implemented for seemingly no reason. Blizzard’s rules already seemed to punish people out of context, but according to the company, these bans have been given in error.

Whatever the case, Blizzard has put out a statement saying it’s looking into these issues and asked players not to submit any further ban appeals until they receive a direct update from the company. The full post on the forums reads as follows: Hi all, Thanks for the reports! We’re currently investigating leaver penalties applying incorrectly in some cases and will provide further updates here once we know more.
