Editing Unranked (section)

== Leaver penalties ==
As Unranked modes are intended for a more casual experience and leavers can be backfilled, players are given some leniency when it comes to leaving matches. However, this can still be very disrupting and can lead to unsatisfactory experiences, so players who excessively leave Unranked matches, will be temporarily suspended from queueing to any game mode that grants [[Player Progression]].<ref name="Season 7">[[October 10, 2023 Patch]]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24009615/defense-matrix-deterring-leavers-in-overwatch-2/ |title= Defense Matrix – Deterring Leavers in Overwatch 2 |publisher=Blizzard Entertainment |date=2023-10-09}}</ref>

Each player's last 20 matches they participated in are recorded. If the player has been marked as leaver in at least 4 of these matches, they will receive a 20 minute suspension from matchmaking. If the player has left at least 6 of their last 20 matches, the duration of the suspension is increased to 4 hours. These suspensions will be reapplied every time the player leaves a match while above these thresholds, but not when the player completes a match. If you are currently in leaver status, your player card will tell you how many games you must finish to leave that status in the upper-right corner.<ref name="support">{{Cite web|url=https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/31268|title=Leaver Penalty on Overwatch 2 Account|author=Battle.net Support|accessdate=2023-03-12}}</ref>
