"Overwatch 2 Implements Wide Group for Comp and Harsher Penalties for Leavers in Season 10 Update"

Overwatch 2 is implementing harsher punishments for players who leave mid-match, including longer queue bans and season-long bans for repeat offenders. The game is also introducing "wide groups" to allow friends of different ranks to play together in Competitive mode, albeit with longer wait times. Additionally, Blizzard is adding features to prevent abuse and harassment, such as expanding the "Avoid as Teammate" list, updating the reporting interface, and blocking chat privileges for players who engage in abusive behavior.
