Overwatch’s competitive mode will be patched to forgive legit network issues

Overwatch‘s competitive mode will be patched this week to address legitimate issues with network connections.

At the moment, the competitive mode will penalise anyone who leaves a match early — including those with crappy internet connections that drop out intermittently. Those players are punished in exactly the same fashion as those who purposefully back out of a match.

Overwatch‘s competitive mode is live on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
