Add fixed option to return to match, like in Paladins

It seems a bit silly to say this, but it’s something that should already exist in Overwatch.

In competitive matches, players shouldn’t be punished for leaving the match, if you restrict the player from being unable to play anything other than returning to the match.

Yes, just like in Paladins, if you press ALT+F4 in the middle of the match or if your game crashes, once you reopen the game immediately after loading the player’s data, it reconnects to the previous match, preventing the player from trying to play another match.

Just recently, the lobby server gave an error and failed to connect to the match, this being a Blizzard problem, instead of canceling and preventing the player from playing, it’s easier to just let the match return…

Especially in competitive, where no one enters to fill that slot.

I wished their was rejoin button for unranked and i also wished the stats would remain instead of going to zero. It should simply gray and show a disconnect icon.

Yes, it would be better than punishing with timeout. The trolls could decrease, after all it would prevent the player from entering any mode (arcade, QP ranked, even custom games). Nothing prevents the player from opening another account, but at least they would have more control over these connection problems and trolls.
