- 2-hour suspension = If you leave 6 to 9 games out of 20

Overwatch 2 Quick Play leavers update
Games Left | New Suspension Duration | Previous Suspension Duration |
|---|---|---|

4 to 5 | 10 minutes | 20 minutes |
6 to 9 | 2 hours | 4 hours |
10 or more | 48 hours | 48 hours |
"Our goal is to adjust our queue suspension times to not be as impactful for those who may leave for reasons beyond their control, while still staying firm on those who are deliberately leaving multiple games," Kaedi explained.
