Could we get a ruling on whether this is an exploit for pvp?

Mhm seems contradictory.

Every discussion about this topic ends in cognitive dissonance every time.

And people talk about the fact that they mass drop ques upon not getting a sync as just a quaint little thing that doesn’t do any harm but in reality it does a lot of harm. For every que dropped 1 team is starting 10v40 so its an auto loss and the opposing team is deprived of a real match.

Not including the backfillers so you are screwing upwards of anywhere from 80-100 people of both factions every time you do that. Doesn’t matter to them of course.

Yeah the it’s ok to queue sync seems contradictory to me.

Cheating

You are responsible for how you and your account are represented in the game world. Cheating in any fashion will result in immediate action. Using third-party programs to automate any facet of the game, exploiting bugs, or engaging in any activity that grants an unfair advantage is considered cheating.

Exploiting other players is an equally serious offense. Scamming, account sharing, win-trading, and anything else that may degrade the gaming experience for other players will receive harsh penalties.

In [video games], an exploit is the use of a bug or glitch, or use elements of a game system in a manner not intended by the game’s designers, in a way that gives a substantial unfair advantage to players using it.

Ok you have quoted what cheating is. How does that apply to queue syncing when they have said specifically

@Vrakthris

To be clear though, queuing at the same time as someone else isn’t considered cheating.

If they are using other means to do so, that might be, but basically going… “One, two, click!” has never been.

The two are incompatible, but they are both official statements from Blizzard. I am at a loss as how you don’t see the COC (fyi this is from the code of conduct not the terms of service, the TOS has a different but similar description of cheating) and the blue posts are not compatible.

Queue syncing fits the label of cheating, but has been ok’d by blizzard. Thats the whole issue right now. It is labeled as both bad by definition of bing unfair, and thus cheating…and has been explicitly ok’s on 2 occasion by Blizzard employees seperated by about 12 years. You keep saying it is not ok, and that Blizzard has said so and ignoring that they ALSO said it was allowed at the level of queue syncing.

To me that means ok to get a few in, but not ok to queue drop…but they haven’t directly said that and it needs cleared up. I think that stinks and both should be labeled cheats based on general fairness of the mode. I hope they over ride their earlier statements and say that…and then actually do something about the cheaters.
