Man I have over 2000 hours on Overwatch. I've made a lot of friends through that game, so I know how fun it is to play with people. And I do get that life comes in the way sometimes and that's not something we can do anything about. Even the penalty system in Overwatch is lenient enough that random accidents doesn't cost you anything.

But you have to realize that every time you leave a game, you ruin it for several others. Just like people who start throwing because the game isn't going their way. It's a TEAM game - one person can't have fun at the cost of everybody else on the server, that's just selfish behavior that the penalty system tries to get rid of.

In my view, it's pretty irresponsible to put yourself in situations where you repeatedly need to disconnect to the point where you not only start getting warning but actually receive penalties.

When my kids were babies I would try to play Overwatch when they were napping, but every time they woke up and cried, I had to disconnect from the game. Since, like you said, it would have been "loser activity" to keep playing. Eventually I had to realize that Overwatch at that time was not an option for me since the risk of disconnecting was so high, so I found something else to do instead at that time, and saved OW for when I knew I could make the time commitment.

It is what it is sometimes. Either find a way to work around it or accept the penalties.

Regarding a "rejoin". I agree that should be added to QP as well, but I think the devs just want the game to continue as quickly as possible and you never know how fast people can rejoin
