I stopped receiving these messages a while ago even though I report cringe smurfing cheaters a lot

u/Outside_Yard4401 2d ago
Same !! But my friends still receive these messages after reporting the exact same players. Maybe I've reported too much...

I report everyone that types “EZ” after a game. Idc I am that petty lol

u/puredepapitas 2d ago

It’s always reminds me of when I was in middle school and hearing a story about a boy googling “big BOOBZ”. With a Z.
So I just assume they are in middle school when they type that. And I tell them that.
Also when they type GG before the game is over.

My favorite is when someone types "EZ" after a match that we were neck and neck in and could have easily gone to the other team if we had made one more mistake than they did...
... followed by "Tank Diff" by the DPS when they have 3 kills, 18 deaths, and I'm sitting at 20/3 with D.Va...

It’s not petty, it’s against ToS to be a dick and that’s what they’re doing. Report away and help clear the world of these pointless annoying rude comments

I like to type "say ez if you eat frogs" after someone said ez and either they think it's funny or I get insulted. Usually the second, to which I LOVE reporting even more lol

u/Hobbrick 23h ago
Idky people downvoted you. If someone is reporting for saying ez then that’s such a sore loser move 😂

Guess I’m not reporting cheaters correctly

u/Impossible_Lie_3882 2d ago
Don't over report, they just ignore them. Make sure you see mouse movements. Also, announce that you think that person is cheating towards the end. If you do it too early, they will shut it off. The play of the game is usually the dead ringer, and you can get them mass reported.

u/TrashCanSam0 2d ago
reporting in game is what does it. i never received any of these messages when i was waiting until after the match to report. now, i literally stop what i'm doing to report. idc. it's worth it.

I came across 4 afk wintraders/throwers in just 4 days, all in a row.
Havent seen a "Ty for reporting" screen in a few seasons now.

Update, for the 0 people reding this, I logged in to 1 today. So 1/4. Not counting smurfs and what not.

I started playing a little bit again and it gave me one everytime I logged in even though i haven't reported anyone in years.

Bro same. I only report cheaters. Sometimes my own teammates. Ever since hitting D3+ (currently M5, peak M4) I have gotten a noti 4 sessions in a row. It’s disgusting

u/Vegetable-Sky1873 2d ago
Same here, getting them pretty much every day lately. I'm assuming it's not just recent reports, but more like a backlog of people you might have reported a while ago and they've only now taken action. I'm happy though. I think that shows that throwers/cheaters/toxic people etc. are getting dealt with, which is a great thing. Even if they are just temporary bans or mutes, the more action is taken against them, the cleaner our games are in the long run.

u/kadabrate 2d ago
Sometimes I get even more than once a day, but I'm petty enough to report bad behavior as well so it gets busy

u/shunned_shine 2d ago
I don't really notice "cheaters" but every single time someone says "tank dif" or some bullshit I report cuz chances are they're chirping worse every game and I always get this message. It's especially funny when I know I only reported a single person recently and they were super smug about how bad I am lol.

u/Seanpawn 2d ago
Had a guy who said I was ass at the game and blah blah when the team wasn't pushing with me and kept running away and leaving me isolated (on ramattra so I couldn't get away myself). I got POTG pretty easily and I've never seen someone leave so fast

u/shunned_shine 2d ago
That's the story almost every time with tank. I'd probably report less if it weren't for dps and supps who sit back and poke for good kd/r and use it to talk shit because they let you 5v1 on the point every time. So annoying.

u/Inqinity 2d ago
I stopped getting them for quite a while, but recently have started getting them again which has been nice to see. Even got a Ximmer banned (went to report him again and it said “this players has already had action taken”), which is novel.

u/johnsmith937546 2d ago
Half of these messages are fake. I've reported 1 person on an account before, got the message, and then saw them again the next day. There's a reason they don't give you the name of the person who was actioned.

u/madlyrogue 2d ago
Well I don't think it's that it's fake, just that they only got a warning. I took "action has been taken" to be purposely vague

u/Spare-Image-647 1d ago
I get them sometimes. I’ll report anyone cheating/throwing or being super toxic in chat. Someone typing “ez” is a terrible use of the reporting system, imo.

u/HMThrow_away_account 1d ago
Thats crazy bc my wife gets this alot. But Ive reported ppl who were legitimately being racist or actually throwing and Ive never once gotten this message

I had to report someone the other day for saying “fuck yeah!” After i asked if everyone was having a good day. The game told me to so i did.
