Overwatch-Oversight
Well, finally got issued my first Overwatch conviction. Pretty trash reason too as I don't operate in a way that allows me to get reported for the reasons listed.

This time however I dropped all my items because I know how to re-order them quickly now without dragging and dropping as they go in the opposite of the order you pick them up.

Someone freaked out saying I was gonna destroy my items and I ignored him because he was already griefing/raging a lot. Low and behold, Overwatch issued shortly after for abusive behavior. Totally insane because I didn't destroy anything. Lazy Overwatch people just hitting submit without actually watching carefully.

Cool story, no match id.

But literally: why would you drop items on the ground to reorder them when you can just do it inside of your inventory with drag and drop mouse? Even if the drop strat saves you like 2-3 seconds - it's not worth risking accidentally denying one or have an enemy steal it.

Even if what you're saying is true - I can totally see why it would look sus to an average over watcher (but personally I wouldn't count it as offense unless you actually did deny something).

Overwatch is done by people unable to go matchmaking due to excessive reports.

Just imagine, how valuable such decision making must be... xd

Backpack cd is 6 seconds long, if you're not in a fight it's not a huge deal but it can save you a little time. I do it whenever I have Arcane Boots and anything that boosts my max mana so I restore a higher mana percentage when I pop boots. Theoretically, if you're fast with your fingers and know exactly how to organize things in your inventory when picking them up off the ground, you can be 9-slotted with 6 active items by throwing them on the ground and picking them back up instead of drag and dropping in inventory, which could be huge for teamfights.
But again, you run the risk of it getting denied by an enemy or even yourself from a misclick. Would only ever attempt this in the most of dire of situations, and only while BKB is active.
