A lot of people said that, after Halloween Patch, this wouldn't happen anymore.

BUT THEY WERE WRONG

i waited 1 month before starting playing ranked match, in order to avoid a permanent ban,

at the first disconnect

Since season 1, Blizzard did not solved it at all.

10 seconds

--------> If your game crashes (overwatch.exe), you can rejoin (in 1 minute).

--------> If your Internet connection disconnects (IP changes), you CANNOT rejoin.

also if the time between the disconnection and the new login is WAY LOWER THAN 60 SECONDS

On 09/27/16 Blizzard official answered to the problem, admitting it was a bug. Now we are waiting for the fix.



This thread will remain open just to inform the people that a fix is on his way to be released

1) THERE IS NO REJOIN BUTTON AVAIBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO RANDOM DISCONNECT FROM BATTLE.NET (no matter how short is the disconnecting time)

If you volountary quit the match, you can rejoin. If your game (overwatch.exe) crashes, but you are still logged in Battle.net, you can rejoin.

If your internet connection drops for a few seconds, you CAN'T REJOIN the match.

Period.



2) INSTANT MATCH LOSS + INSTANT POINT LOSS

What does "instant" mean? Normally the game should wait 1 minute before assigning you a LOSS for "leaving".

But if your connection drops, you get the INSTANT LOSS, after 1 second, not after 1 minute.

Your teammates are still waiting for you, there is a RED rectangle on their screens which says: "you have to wait 60-1 seconds before leaving", BUT on your account you already got the match LOSS, and no rejoin button, of course.

How can i get a loss only 10-20 seconds after disconnecting?

It's a bug.



3) I SUFFER FROM AN INCREASING PENALTY

(Penality = temporary BAN from ranked matches)

The first days i got 10 minutes ban, then 30 minutes ban, and now i suffer from 2 hours ban every time it happens. (About 1-2 times per day).

My temporary ban will become PERMANENT in some days/weeks.



4) MY TEAMMATES GET THEIR LOSS TOO (of course), so the consequences of a bug spread to other 5 people, cause there is almost NO WAY to win in 5vs6 .

I want to help them back, they want me to come back, but there is no button for that.

They write to me in chat: "come back, fast, you got 20 seconds!!!"

And i answer: "sorry bro, there is no rejoin button for me".

9 times in 25 hours

where i really "ruined" the final score

Edit (09/27/2016): So, if you are in a similar situation, just WAIT BEFORE PLAYING. WAIT FOR THE FIX, BECAUSE THE FIX IS COMING. But if you get perma-banned, it will be difficult for you to be un-banned. So, just wait for the fix: wait for the Rejoin button to be fixed.

i stopped playing

i don't want to be perma-banned

A) change internet service provider (ISP)

B) stop playing ranked games

if you manually disconnect from the game

if the game app overwatch.exe crashes

That is the difference

dropping (not leaving
