Well, you’re not Blizzard, so it doesn’t matter what you consider justified or not.
FYI Blizzard quickly reversed the ban so the reports obviously were not justified.

ur in competitive, if ur soft throwing the game it should be ok to report them.
Except he wasn’t throwing, hence why Blizzard reversed the ban.

Comixfan:
They are not. Jeff has acknowledged that it’s a problem and they’re looking into solutions.
i don’t know if ur new, but yes they are. if they weren’t then wouldnt every steamer be perma banned by now. they are just not ok with playing on ur smurf if ur already banned.
Link to Jeff admitting smurfing is a problem and that they’re working on solutions:
this is a very hard problem to solve but we have some ideas. any solution is more long term, though. possibly OW2 or later. sorry i know that’s not the answer you wanted but it’s actually very complicated with the way consoles work and the rules regarding account creation.
