Kephrii’s reports get an incredibly unbiased amount of weight behind them, and its undeniable at this point. If Kephrii reports you, its a guaranteed ban after the match is over, and without a doubt his reports work more than anyone elses. After tuning into his stream for all of 8 seconds during half time and noticing him flaming his teammates after healing just 500 damage in one round, I said something about it in chat. At the end of the match he reports me for cheating and abusive chat, and without an abusive chat warning popping up within the last week, I get instantly banned right after the match.
Its completely unfair and the fact that he has no accountability for getting dozens, if not hundreds of people banned for illegitimate reports its absurd. Just google “Kephrii false reports” for the tip of the iceberg of people who were fed up enough to post something.
I haven’t seen him abuse it, but I don’t watch him all the time. He usually gives sound reasons and pre-emptively blocks new accounts as well just to avoid trouble with them.
If you think that you have gotten banned for nothing, then I would contact the support.
Prove your points with evidence, make your point clear.
And if you really haven’t done anything wrong and they still won’t unban you, then you know the true face of a company and your post would get taken more serious from people.
It’s basically this. We know they algorithmically whitelist streamers and content creators for good press. That means almost no elo hell - the throwers are never on their team and their hitbox reg/aimassist is dialed all the way up for epic pop-off moments and viewer engagement.
Kephrii doesn’t get any special report treatment, he doesn’t single handedly get you banned, if you for you to get banned you’d need to get reported by a lot of players, and only then blizzard will check if something suspicious is going on, if you think you have been falsely banned contact blizzard, if nothing is wrong you will get unbanned.
I’m not a big fan of Kephrii, I also don’t like some of the things that he does, but I can clearly see that he isn’t the main reason you are banned, to me it looks like you are trying to blame someone else just because you can’t do anything else, so at least you can ruin someone’s reputation while going down yourself…
But WHY are there so many threads like this. I am barely around anymore and I run into quite a few of these. And given he got homie banned on Twitch, I would not be surprised if there was something fishy going on.
If someone false reports someone it is very unlikely that the individual will get banned, and if one person false reports someone it doesn’t mean that others will report him, but if someone is suspicious and someone reports him, it is very likely that he will get reported by other people as well, and if he is really cheating he will probably get banned, that’s how the system works, there are some times that people get falsely banned but those are rare and can be fixed by contacting blizzard.
The top % of players regularly and somewhat openly “Help” eachother get/hold their ranks.
This is why they have a bunch of 'smurfs" in various ranks and why after losing game after game on stream… are right back up to where they were by the start of next stream.
