Leaving unranked penalty is too high

20 minutes for leaving 4 games out of 20? when you can’t get your hackers under control? why should we have to sit through a match when someone has an autodefence mod, or some rediculous aim bot… dealing with the bologna match-ups isn’t punishment enough? my partner got banned for 20 minutes making our entire party of people unable to play… thats outrageous especially when we only play 1-2 games a day at most, thats 4 games over two weeks…

Wait till you quit a couple more and get hit with the 4 hour ban.

Alt+F4. Something for you to try.

Not quite sure about the context of your reply?

Key strokes. Kills the game process. Effectively leaves, avoiding penalties in unranked. Won’t work in Ranked, and I suspect they’ll address that gap soon.

How is it to high? I mean if you dont leave… then you wont get penalty.

I dont see the problem.

I really find it amusing how somebody lowers the enjoyment of 40 people, then complains that it can’t be much higher than that.

But that their enjoyment/time is sacred.

And that people on the forums are supposed to feel sympathy for selfish and anti-social behavior.

It does not avoid penalties tho. Just like internet going out doesn’t.

Overwatch is actually really leiniant compared to most games. Most only give you 1 freebie leave if you lucky, and scaling penalties.

Being able to leave 4 and only get a 20 min is not too high at all.

In dota (before they changed it to a low priority system) leaving 4 games would be a 8 hour ban if I recall.

how comes i never see these hackers? unless i get called out for hacking which sometimes happens and i am not even joking. calling me a aimbot abuser for landing 2 shots on people walking a straight line at me.

how do you guys leave so much? do you only play 1 map?

sounds like if i was playing wow and only do 1 thing in the game and nothing else and i complain about no content. (dumb)

If you’re leaving that often, it’s a set of keys you should press and play something else

I know what it does, just had no clue why the person responded to me with that.

For the reasons I explained about

Don’t leave games is another solution.

I didn’t even imply that I leave games? I’ve never had a 4 hour penalty. So I had no idea why they responded to me with that. If they wanted to say it to the OP, fine.

Not idea. People don’t look when they hit reply.

i mean… was your partner playing mei and literally making it impossible for his/her own teammates to play the game???
Or like TP the group off a cliff…?
Life Gripping players off a cliff…?

I mean…
I agree with you about the punishment being too strict, but I’m not so sure I would brag about this ‘harmless’ behavior of your partner. or use it as an example for why the punishment is too strict…

LOL puts you into the troll queue.

I think by ‘hackers’ this person has encountered smurfs at their SR… When I see the word ‘hacker’ or ‘aim bot’ I assume this person doesn’t fully grasp the meaning of ‘anyone can make an account with an e-mail address for free now…’ change with the model shift OW1-OW2. Smurfs were always around then, but now… its like night and day sometimes with the matchmaking…
