Great Penalty System by Blizzard

So, guys. I’ve just got an account ban afer 6 matches with feeders, toxic russians and trolls. None of them even tried to play. Like Tassadar that went taking hard camp from mid lane while the rest of us went team vs team fight. Like Hammer that comes to a fort and uses siege mode against Garrosh+KT over, and over, and over, and over… Like Nova that spit tons of sh*t on us and went AFK after no one responded to her ‘ooh, hi guys!‘.

I check my mail and found the reason of ban. Cheating or using modding tools. Sure. I’d like to see which of them exactly and where did they found them (they explored my PC? That’s a lawsuit for sure), but of course Blizzard AI would never give any proofs. And all those ruiners may still play ranked and ruin even more matches.

Great. So now I officially confirm, that trolls may just spam reports of ALL THE REASONS AT ONCE and you will get banned. Period. No checking, no proofs, no appealing.

Nobody will return to play HotS if this trash remains.

‘‘thats a lawsuit for sure’’ i cannot decide if you are just that ignorant, or the most stereotypical american. ANY game that has multiplayer, HOTS, overwatch, COD, battlefield, starcraft, Diablo, staff of those games dont need to physically check your PC, they have systems that scans your installed game and if they find suspicious codes or change in the software, thats how they discover if you are cheating. Also what are you gonna sue them upon? You use their game on their platform/launcher, you agreed to the conduct of use when you created your account. Also you dont get banned after 6 matches even with false reports on your account, at worst you would get silenced, so there are two options, either you are lying and making your side seem innocent while you might have been the toxic one. Or you were actually using cheat code software and now is mad that you got caught.

True story bro, I share your pain!
Maybe someday someone will create a game with an option “play without russian imbiciles“, but no… Devs love to see those numbers in “player base” even if a huge part of it are toxic “ppl“ from russia, probably with mental health issues

Have you ever heard of “The Privacy Protection Authority”?

I had a banned account on Twitter/X and then I contacted them and after an hour I had my account back after sending Twitter/X the message I recieved from “The Privacy Protection Authority”!
