Broken Shadowbanning system
Yep, like many others I'm the victim of broken shadowbanning system.
Yesterday I've played few matches on Shipment with high K/D ratio and currently the only matches I can find are those with 200+ ping.

I have a question for the other unlucky ones, what game modes have you played? Perhaps it has to do with the chaotic shipment map and the radical number of kills per every match.
Have you used any hardware control software, like Afterburner, RivaTuner, Armoury Crate or Dragon Center?
Just trying to figure it out if this is connected to Richochet, reportbots or just some automatic ban system for those who hits 50+ kills per match.

Running 3rd party peripheral software such as Razer Synapse, Logitech G Hub, MSI Afterburner, etc. doesn't result ban. Most of the time, I played TDM and I never received shadowban in the middle of firefight match.

It seems you got mass reported it should clear as long as you didn't write or say something offensive or cheat. it's the holidays so it might take longer then usual to get un-shadow banned.

Oh you poor innocent victim. Clearly, you're an honest and decent player like all the others.

The same thing is also happening to me every time I try to start a game, I've been having the same error for several days, if anyone knows of a solution please let me know

- use VPN to get certain bad servers (bypass SBMM)
- joined a low kdr lobby through friend/rando/alt

doing the above will highly likely get you shadowbanned because obviously you're playing with players who are much less skilled than you. takes time for 6v6 Multiplayer, but just a few matches in Warzone worth of reports is enough.

otherwise, Ricochet detected suspicious stuff, but couldn't identify that suspicious stuff, hence shadowban for manual review.
If they're shadow banning for reverse boosting that's sad af lmao. Maybe if they toned down the SBMM people wouldn't reverse boost.

Same thing is happening to me right now, ive never reverse boosted (not that I know of). It started happening in Warzone so I went to multiplayer and after a match of shipment it happened again. What is causing this?? Because theres no way im getting shadow banned for having peripheral software running in the background. Another interesting thing is that I hadnt played much until the season 1 reloaded to see if the game would get fixed and seeing that the game didnt get any better just made not play at all, then I load up the game casually and im shadowbanned...like...HELLO??

No VPN or reverse boost for me. Just running and gunning with shotgun in small map.
