The recent Destiny 2 hotfix addressed a lot of problematic bugs in the game. While it did iron out some persistent issues in the game, it did something else that caused an uproar within the community.
PvP game modes have been a problematic aspect for the developers as the community is unhappy with the way things are in the game right now. This new hotfix introduced yet another aspect, which made them upset.
To make things worse, the change wasn't mentioned in the patch notes either. Here's what caused the uproar within the community after the September 13 Destiny 2 hotfix.
Earlier, leaving a Casual Control match wouldn't really have much of an effect on Guardians. However, after the recent hotfix, Guardians are now being banned for leaving Casual Control matches before the game has ended. Leaving matches midway through was already an issue that plagued the game mode.
However, given that it's not a competitive mode, no penalty was handed out to Guardians, who left the match incomplete in Destiny 2. Penalties were initially reserved for those who leave competitive matches. However, Bungie seems to have introduced harsh penalties in these casual matches as well.
Further upsetting players was the fact that this change wasn't mentioned in the patch notes. While a certain part of the community was fine with these bans since anyone leaving the match before it concluded compromised the integrity of the match and their team as a whole, a larger part of the community disagreed with it.
