Did you do the temporary practice range fix?

[KarmaNo-21359]

No ? How can i know that lmaoo i just want to play

So after youre unbanned go into the practice range and then leave. You have to do this everytine you load up the game i think. And the applying update should work.

Applying update

Hey there everyone, we have been tracking this issue and working to get it corrected. Apologies for any leaver penalties, but I do have a workaround for the interim. Each time you log onto Overwatch 2, please take a moment to load into the Practice Range. Once you successfully load into the Practice Range, you can leave it and queue for any game mode, but be sure to do this each time you log in to be safe. For more details check out our known issues list in the Bug Report channel.

Not making excuses for them, so far this, I think, is the only official response.

Penalties not resetting after new season and this bug that’s existed in older patch releases disconnecting players leading to bans is a big L for the Overwatch team. I don’t know who is responsible for these changes but they’ve caused tens of thousands of players irreparable damage.
