  1. Flawed reputation system leads to "Avoid Me" status in Overwatch


    So the other day I'm playing competitive Overwatch, which is pretty much all I have time for these days gaming wise. And our team was doing ok, but we weren't communicating (nobody was in chat) and started to lose our match.

    - Specifically for anyone who knows the game well: we were on Dorado, a payload map, and the other team had a Pharah and a Tracer. I was healing like I usually end up doing in most o

    f my matches. Nobody else on the team seemed to want to switch characters to deal with these two specific problems for our team. I switched off Mercy to go to McCree to hopefully counter these 2 heroes. We still had 1 teammate as a healer. After I switch,
    we seem to do better but we still end up losing the match.

    As the match ends, 2 people jump in voice chat saying that I lost the game for the team and start cursing me out and swearing at me for not playing well enough and for throwing (intentionally losing) the match for everyone. They say they are going to report
    my account, get their friends to report my account, and also report my account on all their other secondary "smurf" accounts. One of the players even messaged me afterwards to harass me further, again saying he was going to report me on his 10+ smurf accounts.
    I didnt think much of it at the time and just chalked it up to frustrated players. But it was only 1 loss. No big deal right?

    Well the next day, I find that my account is actually on Avoid Me reputation. Now I can no longer play online multiplayer matches. The Xbox website states that, "The reputation system is designed to be resilient and to prevent abuse from other players. There
    are a number of protections put in place to ensure that other users are not unfairly affecting your reputation score. Reputation takes into account a wide range of data points, of which community feedback is only one component." Whatever safeguards these are
    supposed to be, seem to not be working. I dont understand why I am in Avoid Me and feel like my reputation system is being falsely manipulated by other players in Overwatch. After a quick Google search, it sounds like there are quite a few other players experiencing
    this type of reporting issue. Is there anyone on the Xbox Live support of enforcement team that can specifically take a look at my account for review? Please help. Ive attached an image of the conversation the one smurf player sent me after our match

    Flawed Reputation System "Avoid Me"

    There is currently a huge flaw in the reputation system. People are absolutely abusing this system and people are getting placed in the "Avoid Me" for no reason which basically deprives them of the ability to play multiplayer in the games they love. Myself
    and several other community members have contacted xbox support to try and find a way to fix our reputation however each and every time we've been told the same thing. This is that they've been receiving a lot of complaints and there is nothing that they can
    do. The best advice they give us is to contact the xbox enforcement team who are the only ones that can do anything. We've all tried getting in contact but have received no response.

    I am currently waiting on a response to when our account reputations will be restored and this flawed system will be removed or fixed. At the moment I feel as if I am wasting my money on subscriptions and games seeing that I can't play the multiplayer games
    that I love.

    FLAWED REPUTATION SYSTEM??? AVOID ME ?????

    Rep is the way other gamers consider your behavior online. To get a better rep play as many coop games as you can with a large pool of gamers.

    There's a huge flaw in the reputation system. My account reputation was set to "avoid me" when all I do is play overwatch with friends. I almost never use game chat or talk with randoms, I just play the game and have fun. I've heard this has happened to
    a good bit of other people too.
