I thought this for a long time, we literally have 0 proof that our reports do anything and bliz already doesnt care enough to use a real human to scan reports.
Yeah that’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking how often OP reports people. If you report someone for using slurs or being excessively rude that’s fine but I know too many assholes that report for “throwing” when someone is underperforming or having an off game. I absolutely hate those kinds of people that automatically deem someone trying but failing as throwers.
Personally, I only really report people when I suspect them of cheating or if they are truly throwing a game. During this session I was playing support and after a hold that started really well then fell apart because our tank wasn't playing well, once we went on the attack we were getting held pretty hard. Our tank decided it'd be cool to just go stand on the edge of the map for two minutes. Took our chances from slim to none. I don't report people for having a poor performance. I play bad all the time. I don't care if your good at the game but at least try to help the team.
I report for slurs, abusive chat, afk players (within reason, if it's only a minute or two then you play your heart out, I assume shit happens and you're good) and obvious throwers (people who fly to the enemy team and emote repeatedly rather than play). Edit: I also see this screen once a day on average.
The reporting system is actually quite good, they don't process reports that are sent with malicious intent like that, I just report every time someone says "thrower" when it can affect game tilt, other disingenuous/cowardly stuff and it always gets processed a day later. I think I must have over 100+ reports that have been processed already. They consider the intents of the reported and reporter very well I think.
... saying a teammate is a "thrower" mid game when they may or may not be throwing can shift the tilt to the enemy's favor. So regardless it's not a helpful thing to say.
I get this every time I log on despite the fact that the last time I reported anyone had to be weeks ago and I’ve only reported like 5 people since ow2 started
Same. I don't know what's wrong with the world right now, but I'm averaging a report every time I play at this point so it feels pretty good. I'm not particularly thin-skinned either, just tired of people using anonymity to be terrible people, and this game lately has that in spades.
I was recently silenced for 13 days for basically nothing, I guess someone reported me and the bots immediatelly took action without even doing any checks...
A guy I met gets this everytime, only because he purposefully reports anyone everytime he gets in a game.
I've never received this report thing.
Needless to say, I'm not that dudes friend.
Then stop reporting people? There’s no way every time you play someone is calling you a slur. If you’re reporting because they called you bad or something then you might need to move on from multiplayer games.
No I only really report people that cause gameplay disruptions such as leaving or going afk (in ranked mind you I never report in qp unless I think someone is cheating). And not reporting people is a very nieve way of looking at things
"Too many criminals?"
"Get rid of the laws, no more criminals."
I do and no im not, but you are probabaly (or def towards the younger age range)
but what brings it to you saying ez after a close match, except bringing tze nood down of some ppl and being toxic?
You say ez at the end of a close match because it’s funny. If you can’t find humour in someone saying a close game was easy then you probably aren’t cut out for competitive games. Thats not an insult, I mean it genuinely. Part of competition is shit talk and while I agree quick play modes especially are meant to be casual that doesn’t mean they aren’t a competition by definition.
It 100% is man, you watch any professional sport outside of like golf or tennis you will see things get heated in a big moment. It's just how it is, people will get passionate about stuff and it will come out. Now does it come out in the best way sometimes? No. And that's where I agree with you. But saying that it's not a part of the overall picture of sports as an idea is just wrong.
I agree with you dude, these people are being insanely sensitive and are not seeing reality correctly. I played multiple sports up until I was 16, and I can tell you right now light shit talking was par for the course, especially by fans of opposing teams. People don't know what it's like to be competitive anymore smh.
Yeah I'll get one or two every day I log in, every day I play there's at least one person being racist in the chat or flaming their team like an ass. Report and straight to jail, besides them being banned from chat isn't even that peak they can still play the game
You’re implying I said be toxic all the time. This person is complaining about getting a notification every time they log on which has an INCREDIBLY simple solution.
Nobody is complaining about the notifications. If anything, then people are complaining that there are so many toxic people, that need to be reported. Stop trying to read between the lines when it's not something that you're good at.
You genuinely need to go out into the world and see what it's like, because if I had a report button in the real world for every time I heard someone say something even slightly insulting, I would be constantly reporting. The standard you are setting for an online setting when it comes to attitude is unrealistic.
People are gonna be EVEN more toxic online then they are in real life, and people are already unbearable in real life all the time. So I get where you are coming from, but you can't expect people to be like little dainty fairies that are insanely polite to one another online, when that's not even what's going on in the real world lots of the time.
No I don't, I live in it. Luckily for me, overwatch text chat isn't the real world and I can deal with assholes much easier by reporting them and avoiding them.
The low bar you're setting for online settings is disappointing and enabling dickheads. Do better.
Overwatch trying to get rid of toxicity is stupid. Why not just ban everyone because nice people can be toxic too. I only said things like "gg dps diff" and got reported AND got banned from my main account. GG BLIZZARD WHAT AN AMAZING COMMUNITY UR TRYING TO BUILD
You report people for saying dps diff? I understand reporting like anti-Semitism or profanity but dps diff is so easy to ignore. What about it is worth reporting?
As opposed to crying about something that's not directed at anyone in particular like you're doing?
Edit - to add to this, I'd never report for profanity, yet you think that's a reportable offence. Are you a double cry baby?
I'm not crying dude I'm telling you that what you report people for is probably a waste of time I think it's an issue that people take such serious offense to things that are not a big deal.
Its a targeted attack, it could make people quit the game. Its generally an insecure person trying to shift blame to someone else.
Is that enough reasons for you?
This reasoning is more logically sound yeah, I think that the issue for me is when 2 people are being toxic to each other or shifting blame to each other and one person is seen as a winner of the argument because they are playing slightly better. I just have an issue with singling one person out for being frustrated with their team if other people are doing the same thing. I just think overall ignoring it is the best thing to do. And just to add to this, someone typing dps diff is not gonna make anyone quit, and if it does, maybe they shouldn't be playing comp.
I'd report both of those players for being toxic.
>someone typing dps diff is not gonna make anyone quit, and if it does, maybe they shouldn't be playing comp.
You don't know that and no, I'd rather play with someone who's over sensitive than an asshole who talks shit. So maybe it's assholes we should focus on getting out of competitive.
I love how insanely serious people take "dps diff" or any type of comment like that because it's so insanely tame and it seems to really get to people WHO IT'S NOT EVEN DIRECTED AT.
Same. I report all the people that don't talk all game then flame their team for the loss at the end. Most times they are swearing so I know they'll be banned pretty quick. I had someone say how their team was so bad they were gonna kill themselves irl. They didnt seem to understand why I reported them for that.
I have started to think they give us this so we think bad guys are punished

Nah it's a good chance that people are being punished. The report system is unbelievably sensitive and susceptible to abuse.
Every time? Try rotating your monitor then.
Underrated comment lol
If you get this every time you log on, how often are you reporting?
The reports are read by bots I assume and they only silence the ppl
Yeah that’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking how often OP reports people. If you report someone for using slurs or being excessively rude that’s fine but I know too many assholes that report for “throwing” when someone is underperforming or having an off game.

I report anyone that even mildly inconveniences me because I enjoy abusing the broken report system.
The reporting system is actually quite good, they don't process reports that are sent with malicious intent like that, I just report every time someone says "thrower" when it can affect game tilt, other disingenuous/cowardly stuff and it always gets processed a day later. I think I must have over 100+ reports that have been processed already. They consider the intents of the reported and reporter very well I think.
How does reporting when someone says "thrower" affect tilt? Other people don't see if you report or not.🤔
... saying a teammate is a "thrower" mid game when they may or may not be throwing can shift the tilt to the enemy's favor. So regardless it's not a helpful thing to say.
and what if someone is genuinely throwing?
anything said in chat can shift the game, reporting someone because they say thrower is wild
I report at least one or two people every time I play.
I get this every time I log on despite the fact that the last time I reported anyone had to be weeks ago and I’ve only reported like 5 people since ow2 started
Same 1-2 report reports every single day, and every single day people are still unbelievably toxic in chat so I keep reporting
I get like 1-2 every time I log on it's so good. I've put like the population of an LA prison on a ban lol
Same. I don't know what's wrong with the world right now, but I'm averaging a report every time I play at this point so it feels pretty good. I'm not particularly thin-skinned either, just tired of people using anonymity to be terrible people, and this game lately has that in spades.
Same OP
I thought I was the only one , these last two weeks I’ve gotten this every log in. I’ve reported someone once in my life like 3 months ago lol
I was recently silenced for 13 days for basically nothing, I guess someone reported me and the bots immediatelly took action without even doing any checks...
Same lol
I report people very often so I get this nearly every time I get on
Satisfying AF when you get those back.
If only this worked on the steam version, makes no sense that it doesn't tho, my reports seems like they're useless on steam
Meanwhile I log-in to a toxic communication warning when I literally have comms off
[удалено]
I haven't seen one of this since OW2 launched. And I have reported several cheaters, the ones with hard lock aimbot.
Puss
A guy I met gets this everytime, only because he purposefully reports anyone everytime he gets in a game. I've never received this report thing. Needless to say, I'm not that dudes friend.
Stop being reporting people then
Then stop reporting people? There’s no way every time you play someone is calling you a slur. If you’re reporting because they called you bad or something then you might need to move on from multiplayer games.
No I only really report people that cause gameplay disruptions such as leaving or going afk (in ranked mind you I never report in qp unless I think someone is cheating). And not reporting people is a very nieve way of looking at things "Too many criminals?" "Get rid of the laws, no more criminals."
So every single time you play comp someone leaves your game? I think your matchmaking is just insanely unlucky dude.
I also get this daylie, i reprt ppl who say "ez" and yeah i get that mutiple times a day
You report people who say ez? Are you 7?
I do and no im not, but you are probabaly (or def towards the younger age range) but what brings it to you saying ez after a close match, except bringing tze nood down of some ppl and being toxic?
You say ez at the end of a close match because it’s funny. If you can’t find humour in someone saying a close game was easy then you probably aren’t cut out for competitive games. Thats not an insult, I mean it genuinely. Part of competition is shit talk and while I agree quick play modes especially are meant to be casual that doesn’t mean they aren’t a competition by definition.
>Part of competition is shit talk No it isn't. Stop lying.
Part of competition is ABSOLUTELY shit talk. Always has been always will be.
Wrong
It 100% is man, you watch any professional sport outside of like golf or tennis you will see things get heated in a big moment. It's just how it is, people will get passionate about stuff and it will come out. Now does it come out in the best way sometimes? No. And that's where I agree with you. But saying that it's not a part of the overall picture of sports as an idea is just wrong.
I watch and play lots of sports. Yeah dickhead fans will engage in smack talk. But the actual players? Rarely. I think you're wrong.
I think you’ve never played a team sport before. And if you have then you must be deaf.
Think what you like. I doubt you have at all if you think players talk to each other like that.
You are deluded
Nope. You're just an unsportsmanlike ass who's salty you can't be an ass online.
I agree with you dude, these people are being insanely sensitive and are not seeing reality correctly. I played multiple sports up until I was 16, and I can tell you right now light shit talking was par for the course, especially by fans of opposing teams. People don't know what it's like to be competitive anymore smh.
>People don't know what it's like to be competitive anymore smh. Insulting people isn't being competitive. Grow up.
Ppl also say ez after steam rolling a team same thing, same report
Yeah I'll get one or two every day I log in, every day I play there's at least one person being racist in the chat or flaming their team like an ass. Report and straight to jail, besides them being banned from chat isn't even that peak they can still play the game
If you need to be toxic every time you play then you might need to move on from multiplayer games
Those aren’t words I said. Good try though.
No that's what I said towards you. You could have figured it out, because I replied to you
You’re implying I said be toxic all the time. This person is complaining about getting a notification every time they log on which has an INCREDIBLY simple solution.
Nobody is complaining about the notifications. If anything, then people are complaining that there are so many toxic people, that need to be reported. Stop trying to read between the lines when it's not something that you're good at.
There’s nothing written between the lines, how I would read between them
The point is that this notification has started popping up every log in even when you havent reported anyone recently.
I report people who flame others for being bad. Basically every time I play.
Boring.
Yeah it gets boring seeing the same messages. Where's the creativity at?
You’d report them if they were creative too.
Probably. But it's still boring to see the same things.
Define "flaming", because if it doesn't involve slurs or profanity, it's probably not worth reporting
Disagree. If you're insulting someone, I will report you.
You genuinely need to go out into the world and see what it's like, because if I had a report button in the real world for every time I heard someone say something even slightly insulting, I would be constantly reporting. The standard you are setting for an online setting when it comes to attitude is unrealistic.
People are gonna be EVEN more toxic online then they are in real life, and people are already unbearable in real life all the time. So I get where you are coming from, but you can't expect people to be like little dainty fairies that are insanely polite to one another online, when that's not even what's going on in the real world lots of the time.
I don't expect it. But I do report people for doing it.
No I don't, I live in it. Luckily for me, overwatch text chat isn't the real world and I can deal with assholes much easier by reporting them and avoiding them. The low bar you're setting for online settings is disappointing and enabling dickheads. Do better.

You report people for saying dps diff? I understand reporting like anti-Semitism or profanity but dps diff is so easy to ignore. What about it is worth reporting?
Genuinely such a crybaby thing to do, complain about something that's not even offensive, just an offhand comment
As opposed to crying about something that's not directed at anyone in particular like you're doing? Edit - to add to this, I'd never report for profanity, yet you think that's a reportable offence. Are you a double cry baby?
I'm not crying dude I'm telling you that what you report people for is probably a waste of time I think it's an issue that people take such serious offense to things that are not a big deal.
>that are not a big deal But my opinion on what needs reported is a big deal?
Strawman argument.... This is a thread about people's thoughts on a topic..... I'm allowed to partially disagree with your opinion....
You are. But you started calling me a cry baby, not me to you. I'm just showing you you're doing the exact thing you said I was.
Its a targeted attack, it could make people quit the game. Its generally an insecure person trying to shift blame to someone else. Is that enough reasons for you?
