Shadowbanned for no reason

[Lucid]

This game manages to amaze me because of how ♥♥♥♥ it is. I got shadowbanned twice, every time after not playing absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in a ranked lobby that was filled with people who have higher ranks. I wanna know how i can fix this and how i can prevent this from happening.

based on other people’s claims and experience, I don’t think there really is a way to not be shadow banned. what I want to know is, how can you tell when you have been shadow banned?

I got disconnected from the server, played another game, it took way too long to load, when it loaded people were saying in game chat that im in a shadow ban lobby and most of the players i fought seemed like they had cheats. So i went to the activision ban appeal website and it said "under review" which confirmed im shadowbanned.

I see, I haven’t been banned yet, but it may be in my future, I hope you get back to normal servers soon. Thank you for replying.

There is no work around for it. I've been shadow banned 8 times in the past 2 months and am currently serving a shadowban. Whether you get spam reported or the system detects suspicious activity in your accuracy and gameplay, it can happen. And it's ridiculous because it takes it mere minutes to trigger or group you as such, and sometimes a week if not more to undo the action.

The system is flawed and needs to be looked into, but this is how it's worked since launch basically. So, it is what it is. I'ts frustrating because between doing really good and getting shadowbanned, and EOMM funneling you to purchases while SBMM funnels you into skill lobbies even in UN-RANKED, this game has turned into a fever dream.

The core mechanic is there but the ♥♥♥♥ is intentionally designed to nerf skill and boost expendeture. The shadowban system is greatly upsetting because you can't debate or escape it. If the game smells weird behavior or people get upset and report you, you get locked up.

Yes I have a ban on this account, which is related to Rust. No I don't expect anyone to believe I am playing fair, but take my word for it, this ricochet shadow system is mishandling situations left and right and putting legitimately skilled players in cheat lobbies due to it's sensitive and easily triggered design.

If anyone doesn't believe it's all rigged, google Activision patents for EOMM (engagement optimized matchmaking)

This whole game is set up lol, from top to bottom.

34 shadow bans in a row, every week, PC platform. So frustrating. Remember, don't pre-order mw 2.1. Shadow ban system will work in this cod too. Don't waste your money so easily, don't support them.

Use google translator, you may understand fully, i was clear on what i writed, easy to understand:
Did you come from console? (Simple like that, its a super simple question)
i have a friend that was on ps4 then he switched to pc, he cant do more than 11 kills or he get kicked from the match.

You can go to Activision's website or just tipe Activision appeal a ban, and if it shows that it's under review then you are shadowbanned. meaning you play with others that are shadown banned and have a hard time finding full lobbies. Essentially punished you for being decent at the game or having any game sense. Thank god for cross play because then all PC players seem like hackers to console players and we are stuck in a loop. I've been shadow banned 3 times and only have a 1.68 KD. Nothing crazy but I've been playing shooters at the first moment of my gaming life. Yet I get shadow banned by people who got COD for fun and hopped on HC for "easy" kills.

No it doesn't, I have almost 600 hours in the game and have been only shadow banned ever since they added the ability to report multiple times a match. You are talking with no knowledge

Shadow ban is only meant to punish decent PC players, but COD will only allow Cross Platform
