August 2024 Bot-Ban Update

Hey all,

Since our last update, we’ve actioned over 90,000 additional accounts for botting. As we previously shared, we introduced system changes in Patch 29.6 to combat bots and other exploitive gameplay patterns on a scheduled, proactive basis. We’re happy to report that since that update we’ve seen a trend of fewer and fewer unauthorized bots in Hearthstone.

With these developments , we’ll be stepping back from monthly bot-ban update posts. We’ll still be watching the botting problem and maintaining our systems to combat it, and we’ll post here when we have any updates we want to share.

Thank you for your patience while we addressed this issue and continue to fight back. As always, please use the in-game reporting feature if you think you’re facing a bot—your reports help us in this ongoing battle. We’ll see you in the Tavern!

Why not implement a captcha system just before you enter any queue???
Stupid simple, eliminates botting.
