Leaver status for dodging hero select too punishing

Hi blizz,

I really do not agree with receiving leaver status for dodges of hero select screen. They are way too punishing.

Sure if I would ever leave when the game is already going then sure hit me up with that leaver status. I have never done that and probably never will because that’s not how I’m wired. However I sometimes want to either dodge a draft pick because the team is already pissed off at each other or I forgot to pick. Both happened only once so far and I had to play 4 quick match or brawl.

I can end with being all angry but I can see where you are coming from, you don’t want people to dodge those draft pick phases all the time and I think there should be some form of deterrence. I was thinking more in the line of adding a time-out of 5-15 minutes before you can queue again building up if you do it multiple times that day.

Good luck, they are pro at punishing blindly, that won’t change.
