I just played some QP after a long time and had some weird, unfun games that I really didn’t want to waste my time on. Apparently Blizzard now punishes you for that, as I got a 10 minute suspension.

What is this? Does Blizzard not realise that this is only gonna lead to people sitting out games in spawn they do not want to play, rather than freeing up the slot for someone else who might be better fitting? How did this idea ever make it into the live game?

    The goal is to eventually curb the attitude towards leaving by penalizing chronic leavers and banning those who try to skirt the system by throwing/afking.

    You really don’t see how locking players in games that they do not want to be in is a bad idea? Surely it’s gonna motivate those players if you literally force them to be in those unfun games.

    I mean what is more fun than being spawncamped for 5 minutes and having to smile at it.

      Part of the game is learning how to break out of a spawncamp. Overwatch is a game where every match is winnable.

      If you leave 20% of your matches you deserve a suspension.
