"Addressing Toxicity: Overwatch 2's Flawed Plan and Season 10 Changes"

Overwatch 2 is introducing changes to make the game more inclusive and less toxic, including wide groups allowing players of different ranks to group up, stricter penalties for leavers, and expanded safety features such as "Hide My Name" and updates to the Avoid As Teammate feature. However, the leaver penalties do not differentiate between intentional and unintentional disconnections, potentially punishing players for legitimate technical issues, which has raised concerns among the player base.

"Overwatch 2 Implements Effective Measures to Combat Disruptive Players and Leavers"

In the Season 7 update of Overwatch 2, Blizzard has implemented a major change to address the issue of disruptive players who leave games prematurely. Previously, leavers faced an XP penalty, but now they will receive suspensions for leaving too often. Players who leave four out of their last twenty games will be suspended from queuing for any game mode that grants progression progress, starting with a 10-minute suspension and increasing to 30 minutes for repeat offenders. The aim is to discourage deliberate disruption of the gaming experience for others.
