Is it possible to reaccess banned accounts from Activision in Heroes of the Storm?

Pretty much the title.

In all honesty, as much as I am aware of rules regarding the "code of conduct" for heroes of the storm, but I really find, that a player gets literally banned for every little word or way of talk. I, but not limiting to myself of course, but many more players across the globe, have realized the amount of banns, for literally being a bit more harsh- at criticizing peoples playstyles than maybe usual.

I do understand, wishing someone's death or the like is absolutely a ban worth, at which I do not participate at all, but saying to players: "if you do want to get better, you have to be better on more heroes than being an one-trick player, when his OTP-hero gets banned, who has no fallback options rather than insulting his teammates for not letting him that particular hero.." "Well, then keep crying kid...."

I really really do find it much better, to let players only mute them, if you can't/want hear comments from your teammate, for what is this button else? Banning/reports should IMHO be only for literal troll, feed, permanent harass, maybe insane-aggressive-chat

But not for saying "you play like a donkey dude... / literally my grandmother plays better / pls, just let the AI play".

I really hope, someone of the new Staff for Hots reads this, and maybe considers making the game less punishable for rough talking in a 5v5 Team Game, which is like in soccer or the like, very common that players disagree of each other's playstyles, unless it's pure and willingly troll or feed or the like...

Glad to hear your opinions out!

Best regards

This is something you would need to ask Activision. Microsoft have nothing to do with them just yet. Not until the deal goes through next year at least.

How comes that it takes one year to make that all official

They have to get permission from the relevant regulators in the United States and that takes time plus there needs to be shareholder approval. Purchases at this level always take a good amount of time to complete

Here's the press release:

I’ve tried all the other popular MOBAs and they just don’t have the same potential for fun. They may have more depth to some extent, but I mean c’mon, it’s a MOBA. You go in, bash a few heads, and you’re off to the next match. The idea, mix of game characters, and effects are just great. When this game is no more, will I move to LoL or DoTA? Nope. I’ll just stop playing MOBAs altogether.

Couldn't agree more! It's by far Blizzard's most repeatable and polished game. Design-wise, pure genius and way more fun than the other MOBAs, and it just needs some nice Microsoft love. I'll take it a step further and say the game should be renamed to Xbox Allstars (like how HotS was originally going to be called Blizzard Allstars), and begin adding the SLEW of amazing Microsoft characters like Dovakhiin, Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Banjo Kazooie. With this breath of new life into the game, as well as all the beloved IPs bringing in heaps of new players, this game could not only become a contender in the MOBA scene once more against Dota 2 and LoL, but it could seriously become a flagship title for Xbox and Game Pass PC. Free to play, but all Game Pass subscribers get access to special cosmetics and the in-game heroes pass, pretty much like how Fortnite Club works.

Don't sleep on it microsoft! This game deserves it and has the fan base and nostalgic love to back it up!
