Account Sharing

Ok i have a simple question. How does blizzard detect and ban people who are account sharing ?

Even on my local community and people on my friend list there are plenty of people who share accounts. Masters players playing from plat accounts to boost people in the stack etc etc. I have seen them do this for over 2 years now and they just keep on doing it.

So, this is generally the case in comp as well near gold and plat where the games are such a coin toss and its pretty bad experience for all of us.

How does one report these accounts and why isnt blizzard banning them. cuz i know plenty of people who do this for over 2 years without any penalty at all.

IIRC you can report them for boosting

sharing accounts is totally fine, just not recommended.

i see streamers playing on their viewers accounts and people on discord selling boosted accounts… i doubt blizzard is doing anything against this.

huh ? i dont think so.

There are many factors that are beyond our control that add noise to the matchmaking system.

• Leavers are extremely disruptive

• Players vary wildly in their skill with different heroes. We have no clue which of the 21 heroes you are going to play during a match

• Groups form with wild variance in skill levels and ping. Contrary to popular belief there is not a “perfect match” for your unique snowflake group

• Sometimes your little brother plays on your account

• Sometimes the cat walks in front of the screen

• Sometimes your wireless mouse runs out of batteries. (Why do you use a wireless mouse btw?)

• Sometimes a highly skilled player buys a new copy of OW to “start fresh” on a new account

• Sometimes you have internet problems

• Sometimes you play drunk or tired… or both

• That first game of the night…

• …that last game of the night

• “Life”
