Cheaters found in HOTS. this issue has to be dealt with or Hots will start losing the remaining Players base!

Nothing will be done so why bother. This games system protects cheaters and feeders / afk and punishes good players.

How they protect cheaters, feeders or afks and punish good players instead?

The fact that you can’t even publicly aleart people to who is cheating even if you have sufficient evidence is pathetic.

On top of that the automatic reporting system can be abused to the point good players are punished just as equally as trolls / afk / bots.
You can set up an afk bot and have them send 100s of reports a day to random players that will never be reviewed and can lead to actions being tanken on their account.

You are not allowed to post players names no matter what you think your reason for this is. This doesn’t mean they protect cheaters in any way. If the fact of cheating is proven by them than they will take action, which will make your warning unnecessary anyway.
Also who is even interested to program and run so many bots that they actually be able to get people banned? And even if this somehow would be possible, blizz can still uplift your ban if you did nothing wrong.

People with a lot of free time. People who enjoy making others suffer and brining down a game. These people exist.

Heck even your basic community abuses this system if someone says or does something they didn’t like. That can be as simple as picking a hero that person didn’t want on their team. I got reported ALOT when I was playing genji back when he was OP. No joke the game would start and my teammate would say reported for genji, enjoy.

Cool…so how long will that take because anything longer than .1s means the damage has been done. Here another story. I use to play on my buddies FF14 account from time to time to do events for him while he was on the road (he was a truck driver). One day I got Ban for suspicious activity. Took them two weeks to fix it. All I got was a pat on the back and a woopsie sowwy buddy.

Dont argue with this guy, He will defend blizzard like they are the perfect company and that they do nothing wrong and he will have no real good logic to back it up either.

It’s an automated system, sure people are abusing it. I personally never heard of bot attacks but about cases like when a streamer got banned by his own viewers who reported him for “fun”.

Tbh I just caught on to the fact I was wasting my time.

Cheating, game throwing, feeding and afking are huge problems in this game and people do not wanna admit it until it happens to them over and over.

They honestly believe players do not game throw on purpose in this game and that MMR is actually good.

HAHAAHAHAH its so sad. I refuse to believe in the MMR system until I see proof that it even exists in the first place. AKA show MMR but oh that’s right they wont for sooooooome special reason. Must be the same reason they don’t show their hero stats data which could put an end to so much “he - she - them” are broken threads.

I will tell you what the MMR system it, Its based on your quick match wins and losses and that is why its so bad.

The game was much better off having the 10 placement games and ranking you based on those or They should just start everyone at bronze 5.

Game hasn’t seeded you from QM for 4 years now, it takes your initial seeding from Unranked Draft if you have never played Storm League or Hero League before.

MMR Seeding
Future seasons will use Unranked Draft Mode MMR to seed into Ranked matchmaking.

Also, as of 2018 you can’t place higher than Gold 5 on a new account that has never played Ranked, no matter how high your Unranked MMR.

Players who enter ranked play for the first time can no longer be seeded into placement matches higher than Gold 5.

Previously, a player could skip the current Hero League season entirely and attempt to increase their MMR by playing in other game modes.

Players who return to Ranked after an extended break will no longer be re-seeded into placements based on their performance in other modes.

I can tell you this is wrong right away, I have seen lvl 68 accounts in diamond with no unranked games played.

So? A master smurf can climb from Gold 5 to diamond within a week. GM streamers maybe even in a couple days.

And that is official info from Blizzard, you can try yourself if your new account will place higher than Gold 5. It wont because that is hard capped. You can no longer place into Diamond on a new account.

Quote from the news post above by Blizzard:

Currently, players who enter ranked play for the first time can place as high as Diamond 3 after completing their placements.

We recognize that being placed so highly can lead to some negative experiences for the new ranked player as well as their teammates. To help address this, we’re making Gold 5 the maximum placement seeding for new players.

They also think its ok for lvl 50 accounts to be in ranked when most of them are smurfs, the min should be 200 and they should either bring back the 10 placement games or start everyone at bronze 5 and force ya to climb.

Yeah, I don’t like lv50 being minimum for SL. Honestly, I think they only did that out of desperation to get as many people in SL as possible to lower SL queue times.

Real newbies will never enter ranked play at lv50, only smurfs will. Heck, I have people on friend list who are level 200-400 who feel they still aren’t ready for Ranked, they just play QM and brawls.

I made a new account and had it lvl 50 within 2 days so.
