Bug used by cheaters

General Discussion
1

In a competitive game in the mode “carry the payload”, we were on attack, the enemy team didn’t show up and we carried the payload all the way to the end without the enemy team showing up

In the second round, where we were defending, the enemy team still didn’t show up. But, at a certain point, I was removed for inactivity, even though I was walking and using the primary fire against the air.

I think the game removes you from inactivity if you don’t do damage to the enemy, but this is exploited by cheaters in the way I described.

Now I have my account suspended

Wouldn’t that also mean they received the same punishment?

Not saying it shouldn’t be fixed, but if everyone is being punished I don’t think people would exploit this bug.

P.S. It would have to be more than just not dmging the enemy, since there are many matches where Mercy deals no dmg and just heals.

P.P.S. Do you have replay code?

This sounds weird, will check replay when I can.

Not surprised though, I won a game 3 - 0 (5v6 for majority of that) and enemy team finally left on character select for their attack phase. I got 0 SR and match replay said it was a tie.

This replay is super weird, definitely a 6 stack for them to all do this. I’m just not sure why though

The enemy wasn’t kicked because they intentionally died when their countdown was ticking and it reset because your junkrat was oh so eager to kill them

I think the bug is that they are intentionally avoiding the inactivity timer

Yea, I think they win the game by making the entire enemy team kicked for inactivity and it auto-wins for them since it thinks the entire enemy team left.

What do you mean by that? I was kicked for incativity, even tough I was walking and attacking the air since the enemy teams was inside its base, and I got suspended

you dont get suspended for leaving one game, even if it was due to inactivity, and besides, wouldnt this just…remove everyone at the same time?

In ranked the first leave penalty is 10 minute suspension besides the SR penalty.

What are you talking about?

OP has a legit complaint, not sure why you’re trying to discredit and downplay them.

you dont get completely suspended for leaving 1 game, you dont, you get fully suspended FROM ranked from leaving multiple games and a full on account suspension does not just happen from 1 game

OW can kick you from games for other reasons besides intentionally leaving

I’ve had games where I was booted b/c their game decides to not load the character select screen at all

this should be fixed

also, why do all the dumb people here try to discredit OP for posting a legit bug… do you people work for blizzard or something… every time someone points out a bug they attack the poster

  1. Why didn’t you rejoin?
  2. You legitimately were inactive for long periods of time that game. I assume typing? Either way don’t do that.

These were bots deranking. It’s not some exploit. They want the loss.
