Hi All,
I was playing competitive last night and I got caught by the Alt-F4 trick. I got a message that said someone filed a report against me and to see it I could type Alt+F4 which, of course, I did and it shut down the game. It happened about 12:30 a.m. AST in bronze on the Atlantic server. I did not take note of who sent the message. Down one player we lost the match before I could get back in. I apologized to everyone. also i was banned from competitive for 5 minutes. I just wanted to warn players and developers this trick is going around.

Nice one m8. Now you know that people like to troll on the internet.
You’re probably the first person to have fallen for this trick in 3 years.

Its been part of the gaming community since the dawn of time. I guess you know now to never believe anyone if they tell to alt f4, it will never do anything other than close the application

I fell for this too, but only because I was tired and the person trolling me made it seem real. It was a long message saying my account was reported.
Damn necromancers… stop bringing things back to life.
IDK why this is coming back 3 months later but this is hilarious lol
Just a tip for the future. Never, for any reason, delete your System 32 folder.

Hahaha sorry for laughing but this brings me back to 2011 and TF2 went free-to-play. You could spend all day tricking kids to shut their game down. Funny to hear it still works sometimes.
If you fall for the Alt+F4 trick in the current year, you deserve whatever’s coming to you.
Also I just realized this how old this post is…
