With this update, Hacks appear that change the name so that you don't report them?
Greetings Yesterday I came across a couple of players who were clearly using hacks, suspected by my team members and proven by replay. but not only did he use the classic targeting hack, but he also used a hack that changed his name in the game chat, I realized this when trying to report a troll who was annoying in the chat but when I reported him, his name changed to another in the complaint tab (the one that gives you the options to report) because when you report, the name of the subject in question appears in that tab and this was another name unrelated to the one in the complaint and as if it were a joke, curiously this subject had already been reported for using targeting hack (the one detected by the team member) with the same name appearing when reporting him directly (his name changed when reported directly from the chat but not from the menu where you congratulate other players by pressing N ( on pc)).

I have seen this in other games, and they are difficult to report in those games (seriously, they change their names as if the nicknames were infinite) it is seriously annoying that it appears here in OW.

Has anyone else seen them?

I didn't know it, but you can still get confused, because in other games there is this hack and it is a nuisance.

Also, more than 1 name should not appear either in chat or complaint to avoid problems... if the nickname is changed from Steam, they should also be changed in the game

How can your steam name be on there when it's your battle.net account name that is in game?

I have no idea, I also have another nickname on battlenet and it doesn't happen to me

This seems to be a bug that was introduced with the Season 9 update. I transferred my Battle.net account to Steam when OW2 became available here, and my in-game username was the Battle.net one, not my Steam user name. But only after the S9 update does my Steam name appear in chat instead of my Battle.net name.

I should also mention that everywhere else it's displayed as my old Battle.net name, just not in chat. It's really annoying (and confusing). Hope it gets fixed soon.
