@MissPorky-21633

for the last few weeks the game has not working great for me, just got banned from comp, can this be over turned

@MissPorky-21633

that would be at the end of season 12

This sounds like a Competitive Leaver Season Ban and not a full account suspension or ban. If that is the case you are banned only from Competitive Play. This occurs due to leaving too many games from Competitive Play (this includes all disconnections and crashes). Competitive Season Bans cannot be appealed and getting a Competitive Season Ban results in the loss of all end-of-season rewards including Bonus Competitive Points. Getting a season ban puts you one step closer to a Competitive PERMANENT ban (3 season bans triggers this).

Unfortunately all disconnections and game crashes counts as leaving the match and will be penalized appropriately. The game server has no way to discern a legitimate disconnection or game crash from one that is forcefully caused by a dishonest player to bypass leaver penalties. You can learn about this policy here:

Overwatch Technical Issues, SR Loss, and Leaver Penalties

Hey everybody, I wanted to take some time today to discuss Leaver Penalties and how they relate to Technical issues. We understand that leaver penalties are an annoying thing to experience. Technical issues can be complicated to troubleshoot. To add penalties to your account can seem like adding insult to injury. This isn’t our intent. The competitive penalty system may not be perfect, but there is reason behind it. When we created the leaver penalty system, we took in a lot of player feedbac…

I do not leave the game kicks me out

Remember if you see the message, “Lost Connection to the Server” in the title screen or the message “Failed to Connect to Server” in red text in the text chat box, this means there is something that disrupted your connection to the game server and not a problem with the game server itself. There can be a variety of reasons this happens including those that don’t disconnect your computer from the Internet. There is great troubleshooting to start with that can most likely resolve most issues and I encourage you to check them out here:

Overwatch 2 Disconnection Problems

As always if nothing in that guide works, please start a new topic in the technical support forum saying you completed these steps and additional advice can be provided.

@Lumin-1385

You can always open up a ticket with Blizzard customer service. I doubt they will overturn the ban because their policy is you shouldn’t play comp if you are having PC problems as the disconnects are likely. But it never hurts to try.

Unfortunately they don’t appeal this type of ban. They only consider appeals to account actions due to violations of the Blizzard Code-of-Conduct.

@Element-11700

Don’t talk about it on forums.
It will lead to a forum ban.

@SleepyReapy-1479

Youre not supposed to discuss your ban on the forums. Mods can lock this post.

I believe this user is not dealing with an account action, just a competitive ban. Its okay for them to ask for help (though we can’t do much about it). Arguing or presenting misinformation of account actions is against the forum code-of-conduct. Technically an account action is suppose to block that specific account from posting on the forums anyways (though many often still post through an alternate account).
