Report system is STILL broken and constantly abused

General Discussion

Recently, someone got banned for “cheating” by playing Freja and using wallhacks. Thing about Freja is that she has a perk that lets her see half health targets through walls. After getting mass reported by the enemy team, this guy got banned for “cheating”, which he suspected was because of this game.

And guess what? Turns out the guy got unbanned when they looked into it. The fact this guy got banned in the first place should have never happened.

Axe your Defense Matrix Team and rework the report system to whatever you were using prior to OW2; this new system is anticonsumer and I refuse to play a game where I can potentially be permabanned for using ingame mechanics or text chat.

I have the same problem, but on window and soldier, because my movements are too sharp when I do flicks with wide angle, which newcomers think is impossible. On the other hand, Sometimes I have a pretty smooth target tracking, which people call aimbotting. Chat experts have counted a lot of things that I use, so I forgot the list.

I didn’t pay attention to that barking, because I thought those reports were like on HotS, harmless. Here I am. I will keep that Reddit community in mind if I create a new topic here, and if it fades away in the abyss, I will create it there. I also have two videos, but short potgs on soldier and widow right before my ban on my last banned account.
