An Overwatch 2 player has discovered an exploit that allows players to leave a match without facing any penalties. Like other competitive games, Blizzard is actively working to ensure a fair environment for Overwatch 2 players. To this end, the developers apply penalties when toxic behavior is detected.
Players who abandon two or three matches out of the last 20 times they played unraked modes receive a penalty wait time of 2 minutes, which can increase to 10 minutes, 2 hours, and 48 hours depending on the recurrence. The penalties for leaving Overwatch 2 matches in competitive mode are more severe, and prevent the player from starting a new match until the one they quit is over. Recurring quits increase the player's waiting time until they can join a competitive match and reduce their skill rating. The player can receive a ban for the current season, lose rewards, and in extreme cases, be banned from competitive play permanently. However, a problem with this system was recently discovered.
A new Overwatch 2 skin is available for a limited time, and players can unlock it at no cost by following a simple step-by-step process.
