It’s obviously their complicated plan to get out of game they do not want to play without penalty /s
Kotaku had an article about this sort of thing, and it really sounds like there is some kind of comp disconnect bug
The article is titled " *Overwatch 2 Players Face Bans For Leaving Games They Never Did"
How much is bugs and how much is people fudging about their games and disconnects I have no idea, but it seems to be something of a phenomenon and it does seem like there are a lot of people making very similar claims,

This is factually incorrect; last season I was in a 3 stack and received a message that said something like “server closed due to an unknown error” and got booted from the game. Upon reconnecting I was not suspended but I could not rejoin the game that was still running with my friends in. The game continued 4v5 and my friends unsurprisingly lost both the match and rank from this Blizzard error.
I’ve seen this bug happen multiple times now to multiple people and I would put money on this error counting towards the leaver total in a season. Someone who has had it happen twice and this similarly recent one where the queue bugged has just been hit with a season ban. That is nonsense and these penalties need to be rethought alongside the draconian behaviour related account actions.

This is the actual comment on this issue. I don´t know if it has something to do with “connection to Server failed”?
It’s anecdotal but in my experience there is no fudging at all (however, I’m sure they will be some who sadly do) and people who have played the game “trouble free” for thousands of hours over years are being hit with season bans and account actions.
I now have very little faith in Blizzard’s systems, even if they are well intentioned.
Everything is automated, do not expect any human response from support.
Whether it’s your fault or not, it doesn’t matter at all, you will get suspended/banned regardless.

Someone on this forum tried to gaslight me saying that the server kicking me out for “internal server error” was somehow my internet disconnecting me. No, it wasn’t, and it makes me think some forum users might be Blizzard CS in disguise, maybe even AI.

It isnt.
That literally means you were the only one that was not able to connect buddy. Don’t be mistaken about the error message you got, which is basically “you were not able to reach the server so your connection was closed”.
Theres nothing more blatant and clear about your connection having the issue than what you just said : The rest of your team was still playing the game.
What I mentioned in fact, does not have any server/connection error message, it just blips, game stops, everyone stops and freezes matrix style and then goes back to the queue, with no error message.
You are factually, literally incorrect. Put your hand up and admit you are wrong.
Users are literally told but for some reason the server itself does not close or as you put it “rolls back to the previous state” nor disconnects those still connected. The only example I have seen of an OW2 server deliberately terminating client connections is when a cheater is live detected and the match is cancelled
This is a server literally crashing entirely with no warning or something similar, a separate issue.
If it was “my”, or anyone else who had this happen, connection I would be suspended from match making as a normal disconnect, would we not? That doesn’t happen. There are error messages from Blizzard saying it’s their end, it’s a more recent phenomena reported by multiple people who have no issues elsewhere…
… yet here you are wrongly pointing the finger. It’s proper embarrassing. Stop.
We need a follow up on all the players who were banned recently.

No my guy, you need to chill here
I didnt disconnect you, I didnt take your points, take a chill pill ok? What I said is a TRILLION % correct. Not going to change.
Again, this is, 100% what I am talking about.
You already destroyed your own point: The server can’t be having a massive error and disconnect only ONE player.
It just doesn’t happen. If the rest of the players are, in fact playing, that is, logically, empirically and factually, evidence enough that it was NOT a global server issue. Sorry that you are in denial but thats how it is.
Projection 101. You are embarrassing yourself buddy.
You read 1 sentence, got triggered because you got disconnected and started blaming me for no reason at all, when I mentioned no error messages whatsoever.
Take a hike and re-think before posting.
You really are thoroughly embarrassing yourself, you know literally nothing about the situation and are too immature to admit it and instead doubling down…
You are absolutely incorrect (again)
Now this is projection 101. Classic.
But there are thousands of players with the same issue? So it’s not just one player. I’ve been s10 banned for nothing. It was as the new update came out my team got a 15min ban and now we’re all s10 banned.

I am not, and again, you literally corroborated what I say is true 
IDK what part dont you understand. Thats literally the issues I was referring to here:
Again, you assumed something else, got triggered and started this whole thing.
Not really. Again you are the one responding to me, over and over again, ultra fast, saying wrong wrong bla bla bla and even when trying to “correct me”, you prove me right over and over.
A game that has millions will always have “thousands of players” with any issue.
Do you have any specific article that proves this is a “known issue” ?
You are very entertaining for all the wrong reasons but you are wrecking the thread with your piffle.
Don’t you know, it’s just your connection /s
Some people lack the capacity, sometimes it’s best just to move on.
Yo smartass maybe look at support’s latest post about unfair bans from competitive. You are the one that sounds stupid and its a FACT at this point that its not a connection issue that is causing this. No matter how you see it you cannot just say a 3party got banned from the same game because of connection. One of my mates is in england and me and the 3rd guy in cyprus. I have never been disconnected from a game of overwatch 2 in the total of 5 seasons I have played. Their servers are absolute dog poo and they haven’t been working properly since late season 9 with the GAME FOUND and not connecting you bug. Seems like you are the one lacking capacity here mr. IknowEverything. Maybe let people who actually know whats going on tell you whats going on and not make assumptions
Actually they can season ban you for 5 leaves if they are within a short period of time.
Have you even read my posts in this thread? Surely not.
“/s” means sarcasm. When I said,“it’s just your connection” - I actually mean the opposite and it is definitely the fault of Blizzard, not the user’s connection. The “some people” might well refer to the person you should be directing your post at (@Hyphen) because they are the one incorrectly blaming people like you or me or your friends and absolutely refusing to be corrected. At this stage it is quite possible they were doing it intentionally too to cause confusion and muddy the thread.
In short; I have been doing exactly the same thing you are, tell people who are not listening what is going on and stop them making assumptions. I agree with you, there are definitely unfair bans from competitive (and draconian account suspensions/silencing to boot) and bugs and errors are increasing, definitely worsening in the time frame you mentioned that holds true for my group of friends also and the effects that it is having on many long term OW players.
Does that clear it up for you? Here are some of my other posts;
Of course is a “know issue”.
And If you are playing on a STACK and 1 player of your stack leaves, the other player are stil on the game. You cannot LEAVE the game for a GROUP STACK!.
A lot of players on US and EU had the same server error. So discussing like a child and not searching for the issue on forums to see their is already a know bug/problem is very immature. The players that are banned for the whole season because of these are gonna be unbanned. But i think it will take a week. It can happen again, because I saw on the past same server errors. But with the new defensive matrix if they don’t fix these issue is gonna be more and more wrong bans. So I don’t think is gonna be fast, I think at least a week.
I’m a dev myself and with the support that we all see here , you know is not gonna be fast 
I hope after they fix it, we don’t have the history ban on the system.
