Blizzard banning people for playing Torb

Exact same for me, been a torb main since season 2 i think. Or halfway through season 1. I have never been able to get past 3300. Everytime i got to 3300 i got slapped locked of playing and decayed back to 3000.

I’ll be playing games with masters “He literally can’t get above 3300, report the troll” and yeah, it’s a cycle.

if you want to minimise it stick to defense torb or payload escort torb. With the new torb though he might not be considered a troll anymore.

Blizzards stance on this disappointed me to no end after many many appeals and live chats. The fact that this is the only game I play where the company sides with the toxicity in the community really ruined their image for me, I still play my boi Godjorn but yeah I know the company view on the matter is not ideal.

Good luck out there with the new torb :smiley:

Been there, done that! I was banned 2 times for torb. Blizzard statement Was for reports and GM says he trust The comunity and dont want to check and unban me. YOU trust the comunity? Then trust me and The 1 bilion people on The forum who trows arrows on your bad rank SR exploited system. Bye, trash customer suport who trust “The comunity” and dont want to check

torbjörn is my favorite hero, but never dared to play him in competitive because of this.

I did one trick widowmaker one season, I got a lot of abuse and reports, but I never got a ban or even a warning. But always changed if someone asked, the very very few times someone actually did.

blizared are kind dumb its like u can one trick with the heros they want u to play like pharah or widow aka the annoying hero s that the so called pros players plays

I have also been banned for playing torb,which means alot of fake report spam from those who doesnt like dwarfs.

Haven’t ever received a warning or suspension or silence on any of my accounts, here are some tips.

Just play like you always play, if you one trick then one trick, always play to win, even when team is clearly throwing, losers attitude makes you bad player.

Never go into fight alone, i mean come on you likely gonna end up feeding, and its hard to see if its intentional or not, but if you being asked to stop feeding and you continue its likely intentional.

Always call players by there name or name of there hero, anything else can be considered an insult, they use insults at you or any insult, they are easily reported, use of n word is in no context acceptable not even as banter.

Going afk in spawn just cos your team will not cooperate or not participating in team fights is reportable behaviour, always participate never go afk.

Making threats to report some one is reportable under abusive chat, calling for reports on some one without giving context is gameplay sabotage, you are literally trying to limit some one gameplay, i often report players calling for reports without context, 99% of the time its a angry toxic player.

One tricking is not banable offense, however every time if seen players get mad at one tricks the one trick gets mad to and go’s overboard reacting with insults and everything, then they are not reportable for one tricking but are reportable for different kind of behavior.

Just avoid any kind of bad behavior, and just play like you always play, and become emotionless.

The type of players i hate the most are those that hate one tricks and make threats and throw, and players that call for reports in chat without giving context, or players that often give negative feedback but can’t avoid giving negative feedback without using the r word or i word etc.

If played torbjorn even Symetra in bad situations before that no one ever would, but if never throwed a game, when you play the game to serious and only accept optimal team comp you not playing for fun anymore.

Getting 10 games in a row with a torb one trick can get annoying tho but matchmaker will never put you in same game with 1 player for 10 games, and if it does happen its matchmaking problem, no use getting mad at a one trick for that, use player avoid and move on.

Eitherway i think its time for 2 things that Overwatch needs currently, a replay system to reinforce report system, and a court system where players go over reports and validate them the players in the replays shown or reports remain anonymous, a small portion of community might be abusive, but the whole community is’t gonna agree with false reports on one tricks, and no i am not saying it does’t happen, but i think most players getting banned probably gone a little overboard once maybe twice saying something stupid, just avoid that.

You are simply wrong, even if you do all these things if you play an off meta hero or a hero that the community considers weak or a troll pick, you WILL get reported and eventually banned.

Your efforts matter not, your politeness levels matter not, your best play doesn’t matter either. In their minds it’s you, with your off meta pick which is bad and you’re throwing and you need to change. If you don’t you get reported.

The only way to not get reports with one tricking is one tricking a hero that the community perceives as strong or op or is accepted. Your actions rarely affect anything here, you can be polite or a completely rude person and the only thing you’ll achieve is getting banned a bit earlier.

Off meta picks get reported constantly and are getting banned constantly for one tricking. Ask any mei, sym, torb or bastion out there and they’ll tell you.

Should be no issue playing like this.
I did since release, 0 actions taken.
If someone flames or is rude, Report, block, mute, keep playing, you won’t hear anything from this player ever again.

And don’t come me with “but I need voice chat” mute the rude player! Or take it. It’s your choice to not mute such players.

I pretty much never had a bad time, yeah trolls and leavers happen. But no reason to escalate or cry on forums for sr refund.
(just bc a lot do this not meant that you do it)

And I only kindly offend a hero choice like Phara vs 3 hitscan, i don’t blame someone bc he plays off picks, as often the enemies are not prepared for this hero. And I personally don’t want to switch to a brutal hard counter either. (qp) so I don’t blame junkrat bc the enemy has a phara.

Honestly, i always report people who plays one hero. This is team game and players should adapt to situation, map, team pick, not picking favorite hero every time leaving rest for team…Espesially defensive hero in attack…So i’m really glad that reports work.

Torbjorn is a lame hero period.

since blizzard doesn’t care about their crappy report system I also abuse the fvck out of it and report people for gameplay sabotage sometimes when I feel the person is to blame for bad team situation. I mean, strictly its not gameplay sabotage (as long as they try their best) but in the end I want them banned just because I can, because I dont want them on my team ever again and because Blizzard tolerates false reports or even promotes/encourages them.

Ok look, im going to make some things clear for you in case you really don’t know what you are doing wrong.

In quick play you can do whatever you want, pick whatever die all you want and doing silly things it’s alright as long as you have fun.

Now, when you select comp, your only goal is to achive victory. That means communicate with other 5 people to do it. Find a strat if the strat doesn’t work you got to change the strart if you comp doesn’t work you got to change the comp the picks the approach.

If you are being a … and you force 5 people to play around you in order to have a chance of winning instead of trying to fit in and cooperate with them, then you have 2 options either stay in QP or get suspended from playing ranked (in my opinion 48 hours ban for throwing is very light if you consider that you can get perma ban for saying “dogsit”).

I don’t think that playing torb on attack for example is necessary trolling, but if your profile is 98% playtime of one hero you have definitely trolled quite a lot of games.

Nope, your character is no the reason you got suspended. Your unwillingness to work with your team and you being a troll got you suspended.

Who would have thought, forcing people to play around one hero pick and not respecting them gets you banned even if you win? WoW

At the end of the day ranked is a mess and otping is just a piece of the rotten part of the apple.
-If anyone can counter what sayed and thinks im wrong or otherwise please reply.

-A question for otps: what if everyone was an otp? Would you like ranked to be 100% RNG on what hero otps the matchmaking will give you?
