Or the opposite - the game logged me out literally right when the doors to spawn opened. I was able to get back on within about a minute, but of course the game was cancelled since it was in the first 10 seconds. Lost 50 SR and got temp-banned for 10 minutes.
If it would've happened 10 seconds later, I could've gotten back without penalty.
I haven't played much competitive in the last 2-3 weeks. Most games have just been toxic, which both usually results in losing and isn't fun. I've been in a big downswing and I think maybe one or two games were just regular losses, while the rest have been with toxic teams or leavers. I've been enjoying QP or Mystery Heroes more.
I mean, hell, I had a game the other day where I was Zen and the opponent's Pharah was pounding us. I commented that we didn't have a good counter for her (not criticizing, just pointing it out) and the JUNKRAT on my team started going off on me, telling me she was my responsibility because Zen is hitscan. After I said I am discording her and trying to take her down, someone else backed me up and informed Junkrat that Zen is not hitscan, that his shots have travel time and it's not easy to beat Pharah with Zen. The toxic player proceeded to call both of us ******ed and said I could kill Pharah if I didn't play ******ed. This went on the rest of the game. I didn't say anything else unless I was encouraging people.
We actually did quite well on offense (Eichenwald) and I played pretty well with Lucio - we just came up short in the castle. Of course, when the other team's Junkrat killed a bunch of us with his tire in overtime to win it, our Junkrat called us all ******ed again, criticizing everyone for not shooting the tire.
