Aparently you could soon face penalties for going AFK.

Best keep a bottle handy.

Well no complaints from me.

On side note as far as I'm aware this is not news... blizzard have been on about this for a while. The BBC is just late to the party as usual with gaming and tech. I'm really just saying this to dig at the beeb following their awful coverage of the junior doctor dispute I cannot abide their 'journalism'.

Not sure the BBC are the most reliable source for Overwatch news tbth, would either keep updated on Blizzard forums or on r/overwatch. I'm all for punishing AFKers, especially on competitive, though. Perhaps a vote to kick system? Although no doubt that would be abused.
I don't think they should clamp down on Quick Play/ Arcade so much though as those to me are just for fun.. if I want to bast/rein/torb on a 3v3 for a laugh, I don't want some upset Mei that got destroyed reporting us.. you know.

Yeah I think it has to be competitive only for bans for things like afk or playing your own game.
