Jost got this guy claiming, that we can get banned… Not sure what to think of it. He was obviously angry, but I would like to know, how true this claim is? You can really get banned just because your enemy is bad at game?

It isn’t but it should be. It’s basically harassment, keeping someone from playing the game.

No its not. Its your own fault for getting spawncamped, if any you should get banned for allowing it in the first place

It’s the other teams’ fault for not just switching to long range heroes in spawn and camping back.
Not reportable.

Lol and what do you expect us to do in such situation? Especialy, when I was there as Mercy, just minding my own business - healing people from back. What do you expect me to do? Abandon my team?

As a widow main I can spawn trap both supports to the point they can’t even play. Is spawn camping reportable? Hell no. Get your team to come back and assist you with getting out.

It is not reportable until enough people report you but that is pretty much the same for everything.

This logic is so bad. That kind of thinking implies that eliminating an enemy player in game is harassment because you’re keeping someone from “playing the game”

spawncamping is now reportable? my oh my. what’s next?
“my enemy shot at me in comp trying to kill me, its toxic and im gonna report them”
“friendly rein threw a firestrike at me when i was in front of him. reportable”
“the game started, im reporting everybody who joined my match.”

Dunno about reportable, but in other shooters I’ve played (mostly Battlefield series) spawncamping is very looked down upon. Kinda ‘you have no skill if you have to spawncamp’ looked down upon.
Then again, with 32 player teams in Battlefield, vehicles, etc, a single sniper can’t pin down most of the team in spawn, like one can in Overwatch.
So I wouldn’t say it’s reportable. But it’s definitely a cheap move in my book.

Not reportable but I usually back off cause it’s kind of unsportsmanlike. That being said they could have just gone bastion and junk and wrecked you from spawn.

Welp, this was QP - Lijan tower. We basicly pushed them from point back to spawn two rounds in row. It was not like we were camping them from the beginning.
You should report your tanks instead for not doing the job there supposed to.
Still…reporting people for being bad at game seems like a strech to me…
I mean no it’s really not a lot of the time, especially against throwers. There are throwers who literally just have their party of 2-3 sitting to spawncamp one person while their team loses the game.

Based on my time in AI, it does seem very easy to push the enemy all the way back to spawn on that map. I get annoyed when my team then proceeds to spawncamp the enemy. Just feels cheap to me, being able to look directly into the enemy spawn and hit them the moment they walk out the door.
That said, overwatch maps almost seem designed for spawncamping, so I can understand it happening with some frequency.

Spawncamping is good tactics if you can get away with it. Most if the time though, if you can spawncamp one player, you are good enough that your team be would do better if you helped them with the players who don’t allow themselves to be spawncamped. The one exception is if you can spawncamp their main support.

Spawn camping usually forces the camped team to use ults to try and break out.
Legit strat.
Also funny.
