This just happened to me on Oasis. Had to sit there listening to the beep beeping loop of the enemy team taking back the point and my team mates calling me an a-hole for leaving. Had to restart my whole computer because i couldnāt get the game to close or minimize or step out of the way in any way where I could use task manager or command prompt to force close it. Iām still in placements so idk how much sr I lost because of this but it was pretty obviously a game bug.
Same here! Had to reset my game after sitting and listening to my team and being unable to reset from a death screen. My team could heard me just fine and we could communicate clearly, but I was powerless to move or do anything to help. I lost a bunch of SR, suspended for half an hour and couldnāt do a thing about it.

Iāve had this happen twice today. I had to close the game in task manager, it just locked up after death and iād get nothing but the heart beat and muffled breathing sound. No control inputs worked, never respawned and i could not even open the options menu with esc.

yeah this has happened to me twice now, and ive had to restart my game because of it, thankfully i wasnt in comp but still something like this should get fixed quickly because its not fair on people losing SR because of it
YEAH THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY GAME. I CANT FINISH ONE MATCH liasehrudgbfolaidfhnbvadfljiuhbasdfouhbadfluijAWSHBLJAKEDHBVAERLUJHBljWEJNVCwlkjuHB GALKJN SDGFBKLIJNMSDTRYHK.L,JNM
ALSO NOW I HAVE PENALTY WARNING FOR LEAVING TOOO MANY MATCHES. EVERY TIME THIS GAME GIVE YOU HOPE IT IS STILL BAD
This has also happened to me twice in 3 games. We need Blizzard to do something or else we canāt even play competitive.
Please @JeffKaplan look into this or revert the last patch untill it is fixed. It crashes way to often
This has also happened to me. Iāve never had DC, crash, or freeze issues prior to the most recent patch. Since then, I have experienced my game freezing going into the map/prior to hero selection (I can still hear the music play all the way through/sounds of my team in spawn but cannot see anything), I have also experienced my game crashing right after dying - it just freezes on my death, Iām still hearing the game and in VC, but my game wonāt do anything.
In both instances, the only way to fix the issue is having to do a hard reboot. I cannot even Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to Task Manager to force stop the game.
Drivers are all up to date, no background programs, downloads, overlay issues, etc. Scanned & repaired OW via Blizzard client and problem still persists.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
NVIDIA GTX960M
Windows 10 (64 bit)

Same, since the last patch if I open the stat window (tab) right after death the game crashes and freezes. This has happened twice, not only on Rialto.
YES! We shouldnāt have to lose SR, not to mention be constantly banned from comp, because of a bug in the game. My game has froze three times now during the death cam. I can still hear people in voice chat, therefore, i know its not my internet connection. Please consider replacing SR for those who have this issue. Even if thereās no way to differentiate between who froze, and who left on purpose, please just replace everyoneās SR since the new patch, that has to do with āleaving a matchā. Also, i dislike the fact that Iām getting banned for hours at a time for a Blizzard issue that has nothing to do with my computer.
Thank you.

Legit same, I was in a competitive Overwatch game and i die to someone then my game freezes up but i hear my team mates talking and saying they have lost a person. And due to this bug i have lost 50-70sr even though i rejoined and won the match. And to get out of this bug i had to restart my PC cause CTL-ALT-DEL was not working. Is there anyway the Overwatch Devās can compensate for the lost SR cause for no reason i have lost quite a bit of SR, And im pretty sure the lost SR is meant for griefers not for people with overwatch crashing . Im pretty sure as well its not my hardware problem cause mine are pretty good
Also i have put many hours into the game and to start off the season losing 50-100 sr to a bug is frustrating. And due to this Bug i am afraid to play competitive again cause it may happen again and i will lose a whole bunch of SR again

Happened now 4 times and also results in suspensions. :-/
All drivers up to date. No Overlays in use or programs active.
Happened in Dorado 2 times, Junkertown and KingĀ“s Row. Always after the character was killed. Game freezes, sound loops.
nearly 130 SR loss is hard cause of that. Thank you for checking into this.
Happened twice on the same computer with different accounts. Mine and my wifes, two instances during death in a comp match with both of us getting the suspension and -50 sr. Fix yo game, Jeff.

The same thing just happened to me. It also happened to my boyfriend like 3 times today. Extremely frustrating 
This happened to me today also. I was on the āwelcome toā player listing screen (for Oasis). Happened after the patch today. I also got Win10 v1803 installed last night.
Happened to me, two days ago In Blizzard World, competitive mode saddly, after I died the game froze and I could only hear the "dying sound " and the overtime music
