	<br>If you talk to players who queue up in Competitive Mode, they all agree to hate one thing: Leavers . But when you delve further into that topic, the conversation gets skewed, and people start talking about accountability. There seems to be two main camps, those that want to make it easier to rejoin a match once you've been disconnected, and those that want to increase the penalty for leaving a competitive match. The ~~problem with leavers is that they force the remaining players to continue~~ the ~~match~~ with ~~five players versus six~~. ~~Even if for a small amount of time, this can have drastic effects on~~ the ~~outcome~~ of ~~the game. So though a minority of players feel like they shouldn't be punished for disconnecting~~, ~~most other players agree that maybe they shouldn't be playing Competitive Mode in the first place~~ with ~~a shoddy connection.

More than pretty much any other multiplayer game I've experienced (save for maybe Team Fortress 2 ), Overwatch 's world and characters are incredibly likable, compelling, and engaging even without a campaign to establish them all, and it's all the more reason why Blizzard's design have kept me coming back to the game throughout the y<br><br> <br>Overwatch didn't even really register on my radar until a few months before its release.
