So to give a little back story I have been playing since OW1-beta, so yes a long time. I have probably sunk over 1000 competitive games in at least. Well today I got a message I have never seen before.
I was in a competitive game and we were winning, and all of a sudden the screen goes black and a message pops up and reads: The game has been stopped due to auto-cheat detecting a player using cheating software" or something to that effect. It read that I would not be penalized and receive either a win or loss, but that I could Reque without pause.
I tried to think of who it might be that was using it but I actually had the highest score, just a good lucky game on junk so I was pumpin, but I have no idea what player it was, if they were on my team or the enemy.
But here is the real question, so what happens when that player receives a ban? If it is indeed a full ban, how does that work? Couldn’t the player just create a new b-net account and play again as it’s free? Or is there some kind of IP ban in the order? If someone could clarify this for me, I’d appreciate it.
Kind of bumbed it happened in that game too, really thought we were going to win it lol…
