Probably because you are "too good" for this game. Got the second SB just a few minutes ago because newbies report bombed me thinking I am playing with cheat soft, but in reality I just use brain, ears and team8s comms ;(

Shadow bans are always for a reason, nobody reports me for being good, so maybe you just dont tell us everything we need to know about your in-game behavior?

I'm stuck in a shadowban loop since 03/30. Been shadowbanned four times since then. Get unbanned, play some matches and get shadowbanned again. This game is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

You get put into a kind of "quarantine". You'll only find lobbies with other people that are shadowbanned, and those lobbies are almost always high ping and filled with cheaters and sweats.

LOOOL it's always because someone is "too good" or "does nothing"
yet most people are unaffected.
Get real.

This doesn't even happen. "Report Bombs", are made up garbage. They do not cause shadow bans. You have a shadow ban because someone checking reports saw something suspect and put you on the list to be further checked or the system put you on the list to be further checked. That's how it works.

It does happen and has been proven to happen, no person checks those reports, I have two differnet shadow banned that happen roughly 10 seconds after I reach 10 kills.

After you get shadow banned the first time, Your account is retained previous reports from previous shadow bans
So ideally it takes less and less reports with each time you're shadow banned.

I call BS. I actually read everything Activision and Ricochet put out.

Curious though, how the heck are you getting shadow ban, when you're spamming these forums 24/7?

This game is so full of cheaters that i belive nobody who get shadow banned. Stop use cheats. More cant say.

The legit players can only use report button when see cheater in the game.

And nobody will report you for playing smart.

They report you because you looking very cheeatet.

How can you be so sure that ANYONE at this joke of a company is reading reports? Do you have a source for how ATVI support handles reports?

you believe activison the company who paids cheaters to try to stop people from playing warzone 1, The same company who released p2w features?
The same company who's support team cannot give me a straight answer on how the shadow ban system works?
Maybe the fact I've never cheated and been shadow banned 4 times?
if I was cheating I would be perma banned right now instead of being allowed to play?
