How does a player effectively protect themselves from false reports? Ive already had a few matches this week where ill be harassed for my hero choice, and then the player says to everyone ‘Fumbin throwing! Report him!’. And the one i got today was ‘Fumbin said the ‘n’ word. Report him for being racist!’, when in fact i hadnt used any hate speech at all, the tank was just lashing out at me during halftime to blame someone. I see behavior like this often and i feel like automated bans and silences punish a lot of players who dont deserve it
How are you attracting this negativity t o where it sounds like people really don’t like you, rarely happened to me in 6 years of ow
My guess is that i prefer lower tier heroes. But i have a hard time believe you dont see this behavior often because i see it in half of my games. Maybe youre a higher rank and get better quality players?
Stop playing widow maker
Doesn’t matter what hero you play if your performing. I was playing Sym and the whole team was crying that Sym was a throw. I got top Picks, DPS and POG. They did apologize after the first round was a sweep.
If I was getting countered and I refused to switch then I would expect a report wave.
This happened to me in OW1. I was hardstuck bronze playing the “Real” tanks.
I switched to Wrecking Ball and Rose to Gold. Got report banned from everyone who said that Ball was a throw pick.
