another reason to hate this game btw

[REALiNSaNgAMingGODPrODIgY]

blizzard has a report system that is automated. i got banned for "abusive chat" and asked what i said broke the rules. they never told me and said i got banned because i hit a x amount of reports in a few days.


so i got banned with no reason and it won't even be reversed because too bad you hit x amoutn of reports and we don't do nothing about it.



look it up, people tested this on alts. if you hit a amount of reports you lose you account and can't play the game ever again and support won't check why and won't remove it.


people claim to have it removed when they are 1 tricking heroes and false reported for griefing but if you just mass report people for abusive chat you can just perma ban everyone.



thats crazy, 3k hour account and people thought it was funny to troll report and report my diamond border acccount prob for having the diamond border and boom perma. i had suspensions before and they said the same thing. don't do what you did again and i said what did i do and they never told me. so i just got suspensions for idk what and then permaed and support never told me everytime why.


crazy, and they did not even remove bans for ow2 even tho they claim its a new game.

+1 they did it to me also. had to make a new account. I will spend 0 dollars on skins now with the risk of BS perma bans.2000 hrs played. almost all skins unlocked.

edit:added playtime info

yeah the report thing is automated.. even if u type something in Notice Field, noone will ever read it lol u can even type the N word, blizzard doesnt care.

i think we have to deal with it and play the game until its completly dead.... it will happen, i believe

[Basarab Laiota]

which game modes are you guys playing where people mass report? competititve?

[Saana]

i'm so sorry to hear Your precious account got permanently banned!

This issue reflects modern gaming and is not limited to Blizzard. Valve, Nintendo, its everywhere. Gaming companies try to spend as little money for as much revenue. Hiring staffs to review reports and punish misuse of the reporting system is too costly.

Back in the days, companies tried to release the best possible games, make a franchise that everyone loves, create a name for the team. Nowadays, its about min-maxing on the economical cost-benefit chart.

Activision, Microsoft


why

[davidM]

I got banned because I wrote to my ally to change character or we wouldn't win, there were additions "you only did 400 damage". "change to this and that" I got a rep and I got a month ban for such a thing!, man spend money on your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game blizzard, you are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess

another reason to tell people why TF2 is better

[TEMIDA]

yea, u got reports for no reason :P many times for no reason

[Simalf]

Im playing since the Beta

I never got punished in Overwatch 1

I got punished twice in Overwatch 2

First time was a silence, second time was a temporary ban.


Both for "toxicity", second punishment was ridiculous because i barely played, only a couple of hours in that whole Season. It was during mischief and magic event and i got reported because i got the same opponents and they just hated on me for hiding too well.
