Reporting Players

How is it you are allowed to report on a player just because they don’t do or follow your instructions and Blizzard allows this? These reports affect your endorsement level Blizzard. First of all anyone can report a player for anything and Blizzard punishes the person who is reported. Why isn’t blizzard checking on these reporting players to make sure what they are reporting is true and not made up. I thought you could only report a players if they are breaking blizzard game policies not just because you can.

you only lose endorsement if you are penalized or leaving a match - not by being reported

remember:
endorsements have decay

  1. No one has to do or follow anything anyone tells them. Especially if they don’t like the plan.

  2. Endorsement level doesn’t mean anything.

  3. If you’re getting reported for what you claim I would carefully review how you are doing it. It might not be coming across how you think.

Telling people what to do, is disruptive and the first part of the games policies says acceptable behaviour is determined by the players. So if people think you’re being annoying, they can report you if that’s their thing.

Sad isn’t it. But sadly the report system won’t change.

what issues do you believe it has and how would you like to see it changed?

Well, for e.g. competitive to work properly people need to follow specific rules, and if people do w/e they want it often results in other people bad experience, so you are effectively sabotaging the game, and that’s absolutely not fine to do, and there is a rule against it.

Ofc. this doesn’t apply to a situation where people report other people for simply playing what other people subjectively don’t like. I personally don’t like Rein being played in some situations, but that doesn’t mean that it’s bad that the other person uses him is those situations. In fact, while I may not like something, it can turn out to be absolutely good thing.

So all in all, such reporting has merit, but also there are limits in regard to where it can be applied, and definitely it can’t be applied as wet blanked for everything.
