What gives me a penalty for leaving?
There's a exp penalty that reduces the exp you get by 75% if you leave too many Overwatch matches.
What I want to understand is, what constitutes leaving. If my game crashes and I have to kill it in task manager while I am in a game, does that count as leaving? If I leave the match during the hero select screen (pre-prep period), does this still count as leaving? Do I have to wait the entirety of the PoTG as well as the commendation screen then leave to not get a penalty?
What constitutes "leaving"? I'd like to know so I don't get penalties.
Best Answer
I've left matches right after seeing my level bar grow with the XP from that match and right after entering a new match in the first seconds of hero picking.
I've never had any leaver penalties. Most of the times I leave is after seeing the XP bar though.
However, I see a lot of people leaving as soon as they see the commendation screen after the "play of the game" so I'm betting that's safe too.
