False Overwatch Ban

[Mr. Meeseeks]

I have recently been banned by overwatch permanantly. I do not know if i have been accused of cheaating (i made this account as a new start as i was stuck in silver on my main) and i did pretty well in all my games. I was not cheating and wouldn't even know how.

I was messing around with friends a few times and did team-kill them in comp. I also abandoned a matchmaking game twice so is this the cause of my ban?

I just would like some more info on my ban or a clip of my using of hacks or something.

I understand that Overwatch Bans are non-negotiable but i want to know why.

You ppl should just chill out. Obviously, OP cheated and got banned for that. But do not judge what's is written on the profile and what the in game msg says.

There was a bug about game bans, then OW minor bans being displayed on the profiles of banned players which went unnoticed, or rather not looking at, by devs and mods of this exact forum. Multiple threads. Freaking 8 months before they fixed that.

This might be related to added some time ago VAC AI which sends suspected actions to OW. Thus, the discrepancies between in-game and profile indication of what system banned the cheater. Saw several threads about that. Am not even here anymore that much, so I guess there have been at least 100+ cases like that only on this forum.

Unless using console commands to fly around on a private hide and seek map counts towards VAC, I never cheated in any public server. I never cheated at all. (Except in a private server with noclip) just a question? Is that allowed?

If the server was VAC secured, then VAC bans can still be issued. Since you admitted to using a modification using .noclip, the issued ban was mostly likely this scenario.

Even if this doesn't constitute as a cheat, Valve will not tolerate any form of modifications in VAC secured servers.

That's a VAC ban, not an OW ban. Good job naming and shaming YOURself. Because you admitted to cheating just now.

And you would get a warning for cheating for what reason?

How does it harm anyone by messing around in a server with 2 friends. I did not cheat in a public match, i was screwing around with friends. That shouldn't warrant a ban

Even if your story is correct, VAC doesn't take sides when issuing bans to accounts.

While many people refer VAC as a anti-cheat software, it also expands to in-game modifications that may not always constitute as a cheat. When people cheat, they are modifying the in-game files or other unathorized activity, usually to gain unfair advantages over their opponents.

If you use third-party software (or anything similar), you are modifying the game, even if you never intended to gain unfair advantages or are not causing any harm (such as testing). As long the sever is VAC-secured, you are risking yourself a VAC Ban, and hence the event occurred.

Therefore, the permanent issued ban is correctly warrented, as you cannot remove it. Again, Valve will not take sides as this provides risking cheaters bypassing through the system.

It should. You downloaded cheats. Private servers have VAC. The ban was deserved. You should have researched first. This is not a game for you to test cheats.

Hold on. It says in game" overwatch ban" but it says on my profile "vac ban". Isn't overwatch reserved for competitive matches? Then how did I get overwatchd in a private server?

Overwatch is not restricted to competitive when it comes to reporting. People can still report you in other game modes, and that also includes private servers.

Your profile shows a VAC Ban, not a Game Ban. The top red text should read having a Global Cooldown, not Majorly Disruptive.

You have a VAC so it's not an overwatch ban.

It doesn't matter, you're banned, goodbye
