I understand ranked matches having a stricter leaver policy and such and I don’t even play ranked anymore, but after playing the game after having not played for awhile, I literally take like 10 seconds looking over the characters and seeing the new ones, deciding which one I want to play and the leaver countdown already starts going off. I hurriedly pick some character I didn’t even want and I try to rush into a fight to avoid getting kicked, as I’m not intentionally trying to be afk or disrupt gameplay, and I am kicked, AND given a 2 hour suspension. Look, there should be way more generous levels to this leaver policy, especially for unranked games. Unranked and arcade is about having fun, the timer to pick a character and start fighting is way too short, or it was for that game I joined. First game back in a long time. Let people report somebody if someone was intentionally disrupting gameplay or being afk, dont give them under 30 seconds to choose a character and jump into the fight like they’re thinking all day what character they want to play on overwatch when they get on it. AND ITS UNRANKED. There really shouldnt even be a penalty for unranked, let the people get kicked over and over honestly until active people join the game, if thats what they want to do, theyd be the ones not having fun anyway joining game after game. Petition this leaver policy. i hope the game makers of this game do not wonder why their game has very bad reviews on steam and would on their own app most likely if they allowed ratings and stars.
its typical of blizzard to over-do everything. Except where stuff counts.
Ask for a hero change. they completely nuke the hero and fully change it.
Need a few penalties for people leaving matches towards the end of the game. nah they gotta just throw down 2 leaves in 20 games and its crimes against humanity to them.
Have a problem with a person ruining the match or cheating. “doesn’t happen” according to blizzard.
I would go ahead and boot up the training room so you can test the new heroes instead of… Just sitting there for a minute staring at a screen when the game already started.
If the timer kicked in that fast its because you were a backfill into a match in progress. Or you took much longer then you think to leave spawn.
If you immediately pulled a two hour suspension you were already pulling penalties before you stopped playing the game. Those quits did not disappear and you need to complete matches for them to fall off.
Also arcade modes have no penalty so you can always chill there.
