Now all you have to do is just open up the scoreboard, see that your team’s Junkrat is having a bad game and is 3-6, and just click the report button that’s right there. Easy peasy.
It’s wild to see that while there’s a report system abusing pandemic, Blizzard thought it was the right time to make reporting more accessible. Lol. Just lol.
And then people ask me why I have alt account. Have fun reporting that one instead. Ninjas can’t c me.
Everyone has bad games and yes people will wrongly report you for it, but you need to pile up a lot of reports for it to actually matter.
If you are that “bad” a player who plays consistently poorly, then the matchmaker will adjust for it to give you a forced 50-50 win rate as we all know.
The reality is if you are getting sanctioned for having such poor stats every game, you are almost likely throwing and that’s a different issue altogether.
This is a non issue because otherwise everyone would be banned by now lol.
There are multiple posts every day of people saying how they have been falsely banned…
It should have been there from the start but the fact that they do nothing about report abuse (by limiting the amount of reports or something) just screams tone-deaf.
It should be easy to report, the way the handle them is what needs looked at
Here’s an idea blizzard just remove the scoreboard completely. That way people can’t see what other players on the game are actually doing or not doing. Then you can’t report them falsely.
OverWatch 1 never had a scoreboard and they were doing great.
Whats your opinion about having a new report option called “underperforming” (one could also add overperforming)
Which could be just for blizzard to see what players really think. It wouldn’t trigger a automated ban or restriction but could be implemented as a way to influence gains and losses slightly not that it needs to, but could.
not advicating for it. as imho people should just focus on themselves unless they stack, which is their issue to solve anyway with their friends.
There simply should not be a scoreboard. Most high elo players agree that the scoreboard means nothing, and it is also one of the main catalysts of toxicity. Just remove it.
Is there tho? Almost every thread on the forums of ppl claiming they were unfairly banned, after a few posts they show why.
I think there is more likely a pandemic of throwers that necessitated the change, and I really enjoy the convenience. QP has become a cesspool of throwing since the aggressive leaver changes were announced, and I report pretty often nowadays.
Last week, I had a Tank player in a MH RQ game who got toxic REAL fast once first fight was lost, and then proceeded to emote and shoot at random things around the map for the rest of the game (instead of just leaving). I had another game over the weekend with an opposing team player who just would walk out of spawn and emote until killed. I would have loved this change for the quick report in those games.
“False” reports can simply be reduced by letting people leave Unranked games with a much higher threshold as well as “leaver” decay. Until then, players held hostage in supposedly “serious” Unranked games will respond accordingly with reports, warranted or unwarranted, as it is the only means of control they are given.
And almost every time after just a few replies they demonstrate that it was almost certainly justified.
Blizz doesnt care about false bans its a great way for them to bolster their numbers to share holders about an influx of new players, with the possible chance youll re buy skins you lost its win win for them.
There should be a scoreboard, but it should have stats that actually matter. Blizzard is a master at coming up with a good idea and then executing it horrendously.
Stats that matter:
We all know that MANY dps players will shoot mindlessly into the tank an entire match to pad their damage numbers, but this is nearly useless damage. If they added a % damage to tank stat, it would be immediately obvious who the problem is when nobody is dying but one, or both, of your dps has high damage totals.
Same thing for healers that only heal their tank. Again, this is mostly useless healing if their dps, and other healer, are being ignored. % healing to tank would shine a spotlight on the healers that aren’t doing their job properly.
These changes also protect dps/healers, because now you can’t falsely accuse them. If someone is complaining about getting no heals you can check to see what percentage of the heals they’ve received and then ignore them when it’s adequate.
The scoreboard can keep the stats it has now, but the context is what’s currently missing. What I suggested would add context. This is exactly why Blizzard will never add it, because then accountability would be added to their game and that’s something they’re entirely against.
Most every other competitive FPS game has it. In fact, I cannot think of one which does not. There is a reason it exists in so many games.
