Banned for a month over spam reports

Simply having a few bad games is enough to get you banned at this point. Spent the day playing comp yesterday and had some rocky matches with some incredibly toxic players, many of whom I am assuming reported me over nothing. The automated account action based on numbers of reports is so broken because simply suggesting things to your team can make them angry enough to false report you. I am now going to miss out on the new collab, the new hero playtest weekend, and the entire rest of the season because people were angry with me in comp games for playing and not performing exactly how they wanted to. Incredibly frustrating.

  • Balance patch upset and disappointed a lot of players
  • Gauntlet game mode is not balanced and a terrible experience
  • Ban wave for those guilty and not guilty
  • Overpriced skins and new event with weak rewards

Is this everything or did I miss anything? Still sure you even want to come back?

Considering how fast people on the forums detonate when they meet any resistance to their posts, I believe you.

Last month I had a great game as Moira

63-2

Right after the match my endorsement went down from 4 to 3


I don’t give a crap about endorsement numbers but it was just funny to see that after a really good game people still report me or avoided me


If u have a bad game, people get salty and report u

If u play say Widow, and u kill the enemy widow over and over, they will report you becuz they can’t stand u being the better Widow


There is too many children playing this game, get hurt over a video game

Report, and blizzard just takes everything without even checking if it is true yes or no


This game is just a joke and we should all treat it like that

Endorsement level decays over time. Going from 4->3 doesnt mean you got reported.

as i know endorsment slightly go down over time if nobody endorsed you for like 10+ matches
but it can rapidly go down by 1 ± lvl if you got a suspension

Considering reports are handled on a match by match basis, you had to get reported in a lot of matches ti get actioned.

I don’t buy it, but try your luck with support I guess. Keep us posted.

Same thing just happened to me man. I got a warning the other night, and didn’t use any comms since (except for “gg” or asking someone to “please switch”) and now I’m done for a month, it’s wild.

Meanwhile I see the same throwers and people throwing out the N word every night lol.

Blizzard is fine just killing their game, soon it’s going to be all alt accounts who don’t spend money on anything. Can’t believe I was wasting money on the Battle Passes, never again.

maybe try contacting support?

Do you really still want to throw money at a game that bans you for “no reason”?

This seems to be the issue. What did you suggest? How did you do so? Were you repetitive in suggesting? That’s enough to annoy people.

You never mentioned your elo either. That also is a big factor imo. Higher elo players tend to not care / have thicker skin.

The biggest flag to me is that this is not your first suspension. The first one is 2 weeks. And that first suspension comes after getting silenced as the first punishment.

So. This is the third action taken against your account. Care to explain?

Play better then?

Not up to your teammates to babysit you every game. I for one am reporting anyone that i just dont enjoy playing with in the hopes they get banned. Whether that be throwers, leavers, people who dont swap, people who have bad positioning, people who use genji ult and get 0 kills etc. seems to be working so far since I open the game to at least 1 message saying my reports did something everyday

I too was being suspended last year. So now ive just turned off all comms and throwing it back at them

I’m gonna be blunt: I don’t believe you.

Why?
Because I’ve been typing or in VC actually making polite suggestions for years now and have never once received so much as a warning.

There’s suggesting something “An Ana would be good here to deal with the Hog” and there’s suggesting something “How about we stop with the braindead feeding and actually group up for once?” or “Perhaps our Moira should HEAL, seeing as she’s a support?!?!”

Even if you don’t think how you’re suggesting things is aggressive/passive-aggressive/derogatory or whatever, I would perhaps look at how you’re phrasing things. There is always a reason you’re getting reported, especially getting reported enough to receive a suspension.

Again, this just isn’t true. You are telling me that the system is so broken and sensitive that a handful of false reports for “GG” gets you suspended for a month
but there aren’t a handful of people willing to report someone throwing the N-word around every match they’re in?

Nah dude, that math doesn’t add up.

Teammates are mostly who report your,for saying just “please swap”,“Shoot the guy dude”!,but sometimes its just enemies when you play better than them.
I play with 5 stack friends and I NEVER use in-game chat but being reported falsely multiple times which led to my account being banned several times and an account banned permanently.
Today they just said we changed your Battle-tag because its offensive to some players who reported you(my battle-tag is Pikachu,if Pikachu is offensive then i must be living in another universe) !
Also this is competitive game where the better win,with some adrenaline and stuffs, so people sometimes can get a little bit nervous and sometimes aggressive too,there is a lines that you should not across in chat like insulting or raging in voice 
etc but speaking a high tense should not be punished,like in any other competitive game !

Really Green? I’m surprised a bit that your account has been actioned so much. Whats going on there? Arent you at high elo? I thought those lobbies are pretty shill in comms most of the time :man_shrugging:

i am not high elo, i wobble between plat and diamond, even dipping into high gold in my worst mmr induced losing streaks. but honestly, considering i think counterpicking is nobrain skilless nonsense that isn’t why i play this game, i don’t think there’s any elo where people wouldn’t be toxic to me as their tank. but this is why i played more sombra than tank in the leadup to my last ban.

And the problem is also, if you speak with Support about supspention, some game master with purple hair, brain damaged dude glued himself to asphalt road from generation Y will answer you, that saying GG as a winner team is too toxic and ofensive against same stoopid kids as himself, so the ban will be upheld :man_facepalming:
