Overwatch: Leaving early in competitive mode comes with a heavy price

Those in Overwatch‘s competitive mode beta have shared details of quitting penalties that players will suffer.

Those “repeatedly leaving games will result in a 75% penalty to XP earned,” a screenshot from the beta reads. This is the same XP ban applied in Quick Play modes, though it’s unclear if the competitive have a longer duration.

Moreover, “you can be suspended from competitive play for increasing periods of time, up to receiving a ban for the entire season.”

Competitive mode is expected this month, inside Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 versions of Overwatch.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
