^title, it has been proven that the cheating reports are now automated (they were previously manually looked it, as it should be). This is not common knowledge, but once people become aware of this, the community will be abusing the automated cheating bans (which is permanent btw). It won’t be long before Moira mains, off-tank mains, off-meta mains are all getting permanently banned by salty players.
Please go back to manual reporting, or hard punish false-cheating reporters.
Where has this been proven, would be nice to source claims like this.

The problem with that is that it will be automated when the person gets a zillion reports in a short amount of time.
Which is what I don’t get on that experiment. Normal people will get reported over time, but when you ask to be reported for scientific purposes, and receive multiple reports in, say, within an hour, what do you expect?
Yeah, but all it takes is one E-stalker to report you multiple times on alt accounts.
You will need more than five accounts to do that.
Can you be a bit more specific? (i.e. a link)
I don’t have a link, but I saw it floating around. Some OW player played on an alt and asked people to report him to see how long it’ll take to get banned.
Went through multiple matches saying so, which obviously led to a ban. Then came out with “it’s an automated system”. Which is obvious if you’re receiving more than 10+ reports within an hour or two (or however long he was playing to get banned).
they have no money for people…
all focus on the DLC called overwatch2
I see. Interesting…
It’s always been an automated system, this isn’t news guys. Blizzard has been operating on an auto system for all this stuff for ages - did you not know that?
What did you think they did?
No, the other report categories are automated except for cheating. It was just turned automated recently. Cheating reports were once manually looked at and volume of reports didn’t automatically get you banned.
In the past, bans for cheating have historically always been manual - i.e. you could only be banned for cheating by detection from Warden (their anti-cheat). They must have changed this at some point.
Probably because there have been complaints that bans weren’t fast enough, so, if someone gets over 10 reports in such a short time, they’d get booted.
That would be my guess as well. It’s too bad it had to come to that.
Well you just helped people become aware of this.
Probably because the people who handled them are all at home.
I think this will most likely impact particularly good but not famous players, which is not okay. They used to make these manual precisely because talented players would often get reported for cheating when they were not.
