  1. Overwatch players banning other players because they do not like their character picks?


    Overwatch players have been abusing the reputation system by reporting xbox live members because they do not like their character

    choice. This is causing players to lose their xbox live abilities which cost money and time. I play an unpopular character Symmetra which causes people to send me nasty messages and report me with their multiple ‘smurf’ accounts. This caused my first account
    to get to avoid me. Because of this I had to create a second account waaazzzzzzzaaaa which went from good player to avoid me last night because I got matched up with a group of people who did not like my style of play. I am a player who takes
    the game very seriously and have been in the top 3% for the past two seasons. I also read another post which said that all of the players in the top 500 gained an avoid me reputation because xbox players just didn’t want to deal with that character, which
    is not how the reputation system is suppose to work. Please Microsoft take a strong look at the reputation system and help people who have been banned from playing online for no reason. I really do not want to switch over to PS4 but if I can't get my accounts
    to work I may be forced to do so : /

    :)

    Reputation system flawed, false "avoid me" status affecting gameplay

    I have received the reputation status "avoid me" simply because other players in overwatch are trying to avoid playing games with me. I have been playing the character hanzo and almost every game I either get blamed for the whole team of 6 losing or praised
    for carrying the team. Seeing as it's a team game the fault of a loss should not fall on to one person. I try my best every game and if I am not doing exceptionally well players report me for "unsporting behavior" just because they do not like the character
    I chose to play that game. Please fix this system so it cannot be abused anymore.

    Is this a legitamte reason to report?

    In the first paragraph, I said, "it all depends on if the character was a threat, or was intimidating to you/other players."

    If other players find your character intimidating, they can file a report.

    In this instance, even if you think that the character you're playing is fine, other players might think that it is not.

    You have to look at someone else's viewpoint. Maybe they think your character is overpowering, or offensive. If they do think this, they can file a complaint.

    I have had this same issue, as a Symmetra player. This is a crime. I pay money for Xbox Live, and I should not be subjected to abuse and stripped of my online playing abilities because people don't like my character. I also win a vast majority of my matches.
    Microsoft needs to stop ignoring this issue. I am also at Avoid Me status, after being threatened by a particular party of players in a game that we won. I have saved the screenshots to show the type of hate we are dealing with. My gamertag is Jamocha
    Shakes, for what it's worth.

  6. May I ask have you reported these players for their behaviour?

    The Reputation system provides a platform to keep players safe from people who genuinely are abusing players/modding/quitting unfairly etc, but at the same time is not something Microsoft tolerate being abused.

    Xbox Enforcement | How Do I

    I might also suggest perhaps speaking with Xbox support and mentioning this thread to highlight you are not alone in your grievance.

    I'm sorry, as an Ambassador, I'm not someone who can fix this for you. But certainly a players character choice is not a valid reason to report someone.

    The Dooie Dood, I'll mention this a side note (because it's not a solution per se) but if you ever did want to use a secondary profile and access your digital download games (I'm assuming you're on Xbox One?), go into settings > Personalisation > My Home
    Xbox, and set your console as your home xbox on your main profile. This will then share your games with a secondary profile and anyone else signed in on your console.

    getting rid of Xbox live enforcement

    it isn't the problem playing nice, I play by the rules but games like overwatch and others have just a toxic community that get you banned. Some players get blocked so you don't have to play against them again because you rolled them or you got a teammate
    who did bad and block him and they get penalize and that ends up being Avoid me. It's not the person but the people on the game. This enforcement is too overpowered and needs a heavy nerf because it gives too much power to the player

    If your reputation is in Avoid Me, It IS you that is the problem. Enforcement has nothing to do with your rep, it is how you are perceived by others.
    if you have ever played overwatch you would know that people report you for not playing "meta" characters and picking defense heroes or not choosing a secondary healer and they will blame you for the loss. I can't even choose an off meta pick without getting
    a message "switch off or I'll report you" because they know the report system is broken

    This is False Reporting and Account Abuse

    So I guess After what happens with the OverWatch Community getting Com Banned or Reported for being a good player Xbox Live Reputation is similar to the OverWatch Issue and over 1000+ Players that gets Com Banned for saying non offensive words or getting reported for being too good still No One Cares about what happens.

    This is just like the OverWatch issue to where Innocent Players are getting Reported for stuff they didn't do wrong It's cool I get it now.
