So I had to step away for less than a minute while in a 6v6 arcade match and sure enough I got a leaver penalty. It treated me like I was the worst player in the game. Big red message in chat telling me my endorsement has been penalized and I had a que timer before I could play again.
What the hell is this? How does this in ANY way make the game a better choice over anything else out there? If you have to step away even for something you have to deal with you’re going to risk getting a stacking leaver penalty in this game. This is BEYOND ridiculous.

Its totally unfair! Sometimes I get kicked for trying to type-out a post on the forums. Its ridiculous.

It’s probably related to 6v6 still counting as Quickplay as far as challenges are concerned.
6v6 is likely the only one that’ll do that.
They should’ve properly moved it to Arcade when they moved the card, but they didn’t so it seems to act like QP as far as penalties are concerned.
Sorry man, at least the timer should only be a few minutes.

So now they’re in Arcade?
I am 100% positive that in a couple months the leaver penalty is going to be as harsh as Deadlock’s.
1 left is immediate 15 minute ban.
Second is 7 hours.
Next is like 15 hours.
Then eventually you get permanently banned from the entire game.

It might only apply to 6v6 since it was recently a QP mode. I havent played any other Arcade mode lately so Im not sure.

Did you learn anything from it? Like, don’t leave the game?
Shoot, does this mean people are going to stop leaving? That would suck!
Why don’t you just leave queue if it’s that much of an issue?
Because sometimes Im waiting 6-8+ mins for a game, usually late at nite/early morning. I do unqueue for cooking food thou.
I’m guessing this applies to only 6v6, but if it was all of arcade I’d be a happy camper for sure.
fair. It sucks, but even though 6v6 is in arcade, it’s probably going to be treated like QP. where it should be.
Yeah thats my thought. I respect it because I want the 6v6 experience and having that penalty encourages players to stay.
Luckily, i dont get booted from games very often. Its the rare game where I get put into, game is already in session and Im not paying attention to the screen. Timer starts counting down, I try to make it to the spawn exit but I dont make it in time…

The ONLY thing that it teaches to people is to stop playing this unfair game.

These penalties are applied to ALL GAME MODES, except custom games. It’s probably one of the dumbest features this development team has implemented. Sure there is the small group of chickens who want comp style play without losing SR. So they whined until it was added to everything but custom games. I have so many accounts due to them getting bans from play that I have to write down all the accounts and passwords.
P.S. the SMS is a huge joke and super easy to bypass.

lol. Aren’t you a bothered little betty.
Trying your hardest to make it seem you aren’t
If a bunch of leavers stop playing this game, no tears will be shed by me

Really? That’s all that happened? If you got a penalty then you already left 2 other games in the last 20. If it was a 10 minutes (and not 2 because, let’s be real, only a real cry-baby would be making a forum post about a 2 minute suspension, right?) then you already left 3 or 4 games in the last 20.
Your “I just stepped away for a minute so I got a penalty” is just BS because you need to leave multiple games to get even a 2 minute penalty.
Stop leaving and then you don’t need to cry about it here.
Welp, its going to be like other games then like DBD where if players cause trouble, people will map the network and kick others off the network.
Thats the last thing we need, but going to bet DOS’ing player’s connections to the servers is going to be a thing here soon.

If it dies, it dies.
There’s other things in life and gaming besides OW2.
