I am just quitting out of Sombra matches at this point and hit the 2 hour ban time. Curious what the max time is?

Google works quite well. What it really is I don’t know. It’s definitely something rather unreasonable, though. Enough to encourage throwers.
Get banned for throwing? Screw it, just make a new account.
account permanently banned
Two days I think.
I think quick play maxes out at 2 hours. Competitive you’ll get banned for the season.
For Quick Play 48 hours and for comp permanent ban is possible.

Please don’t do that. This is not healthy for the community.
You are leaving your team just because they have sombra ?
Just ask your tank or dps to help keep an eye out for you.

Keep going and find out, please.
I believe it’s 2 days for QP and for comp it’s season ban (I believe perma ban was possible once upon a time for comp, and it required you to get season bans in 3 competitive seasons - but I don’t know if that’s still on the table anymore with the updates to the leaver penalties introduced in S10).
That said, I’m not sure leaving matches will send the message you think you are sending…and I say this as someone who hated Sombra back when he played (almost with the same passion as when I hated Spy from TF2).
I wouldn’t blame my team for leaving if the other side had Sombra

Yeah, up until the heat death of the universe
48 hours at 10/20 I think it is.
it scales up to 2 days in quickplay, comp you get banned for the entire season if you leave too much.
You can get a lifetime ban from comp, but I think you have to get banned permanently for like 2 seasons or something
Not sure why this person is asking though, just don’t leave
Astro just queue with friends who will peel for you.

Honestly, the longer Im banned the more it encourages me to do other things. The ball was seriously dropped with OW anymore and its a release to move on from it at this point. Im fine quitting out when its Sombra.
I think anything over a 15 minute ban is pretty stupid for an unranked mode. Especially for a game that is free access.
If the matches had something to earn from them I could see 1 hour max.
COMP was a let-down on a change to these rules as they should be heavily punishing players for the ranked leaving.
They need a 2-strike policy for a 30 day consecutive ban for leaving any competitive mode.
Mainly the reasons for these over-zealous insanity penalties is Server login cost savings, and crowd control tactics for wannabee streamers since they QQ over leavers.
The problem is it amps up the toxicity even more to throwing, rage hacking, it steers players into making multiple accounts, as the savvy player will resort to making multiple accounts to offset the misery of grossly unbalanced team match making. and it continues to perpetuate even more unbalanced matches since the system no longer has an account history in the first place to make the match.
Its like any game with leaver penalties. They all become hot trash with a very small player base that sides with the game company no matter what and when the communities QQ about “nobody playing their game no more, no content being released”. They just dont understand that these games require a TON of people playing in order to pay for content being delivered through the pipeline.
Its like Dead by daylight. once they made the penalties. They lost most of their player base. Those 5 million copies sold cant even retain 30,000 on nightly anymore. Pretty pathetic imo.
