So Blizzard has gone through Overwatch's players not too long ago and decided to do a huge banhammer on everyone that has gotten caught cheating. The responses to this action is really freaking hysterical. Let's go through some of the ones I found to be funny and sad at the same time.
The original site where all the complaints that I found to be extremely funny/sad/pathetic/etc. can be found.
Overwatch forum that clearly states that anyone caught cheating will be gone instantly.
Let's enjoy some of the funny ones:
1.) Two Comments In One
"Sigh another banwave within 24 hours. I suppoed it wouldn't hurt to form a union against Blizzard and sue them somehow? How can they detect these cheats unless they are using some trojan which is legal?"
"It's simple, we can dm Anonymous on Twitter and ask them to hack Blizzard serves and see how they are spying on us what Blizzard is doing is illegal how do they even known we are using triggerbot which isn't even a hack?"
- Response to the first comment -
Blizzard is not the first gaming company and it is certainly not the last gaming company to do something about cheaters. And you can't sue the company when they have made it quite clear before the game even came out that cheaters who are caught will be banned permanently.
- Response to the second comment -
You really think that group is going to help a bunch of cheating Overwatch players? What Blizzard is doing to you cheaters is LEGAL, as they have every right to ban anyone who is playing unfairly and are using third-party programs to help out. Triggerbot IS cheating, kay? Just because it might not be a "hack" towards you, it's still a program that is used to cheat, which you have just admitted to using so...
2.) Why Now?
"I'm actually so pissed right now. Why did they decided to start banning now?"
-Response-
Um, this actually isn't the first time they've done a ban wave. And why now? Maybe because there's been a lot of people reporting hacks and cheaters and Blizzard decided that now is a good time to put an end to it.
3.) War!
"We are at war... War with Blizzard. Ever day they persecute us for our beliefs. We have done nothing wrong, we are merely using our code to make certain colors on the screen get altered. There's no harm in that. What's important is the banned users are ot victims but (blanked out) is. If you want to SUPPORT our cause, you have to buy some CoreCoins. If we get enough users buying CoreCoins, this site with grow and we will be able to hire agents with this that can help us protect us. Maybe is a court battle eventually. My people don't have to take any persecution any longer, we must stop this great evil called Blizzard. For a better future! Invest in CoreCoins!"
- Response -
I don't even know what to really say to this.
4. ) I Deserve A Second Chance
"Can we make a petition or something? I deserve another chance if I spent extra to buy the pre-order edition. This is unacceptable. It's 2016 Blizzard, cheating happens. A slap on the wrist is always better than lynching the person."
-Response-
This comment actually got me a bit agitated for multiple reasons.
A.) Petitions do jack shit now and days when it comes to video games.
B.) You don't deserve a second chance just because you paid a bit extra for a game. You got caught cheating, so why should you be allowed to slip through the cracks all because you spent more?
C.) Yes, cheating happens in video games, but Blizzard isn't the first gaming company to do something about it, nor are they the last either. You deserve to be lynched because you made the game quite unfair for other players who are playing fairly. Cheating ruins the game, 'nuff said.
I think it's insulting to read that you think you should get a "slap on the wrist" instead of being lynched because you decided to play Overwatch unfairly. The Olympics don't slap cheating participants on the wrist, they blatantly ban them from the entire competition. Just because you spent a little bit more money than other people have doesn't give you special "get out of being banned" cards. You're treated as how any other cheater gets treated.
5.) My Brother Is Going To Kill Me
"Wow, wow, WOW BLIZZARD REALLY AGAIN BANWAVE WTF IS UR PROBLEM BLIZZARD JUST LEAVE US ALONE WE ARENT EVEN DESTROYING THE SEERVER ***** NOW MY BROTHER IS GONNAKILL ME"
-Response-
Their problem is that Blizzard has specifically stated that they are not going to tolerate any kind of cheating and if you get caught, you're done. I'm sure you were using your brother's account, and even though I feel sorry that your brother no longer can play this game anymore, maybe he should kick your ass for deliberately losing the ability to play Overwatch.
6.) I Paid Money!
"I just got banned too, wtf Blizzard you're really gonna punish people who paid you MONEY for this game???"
-Response -
Just because you gave them money doesn't mean they can not ban your account if you're caught cheating. It doesn't work like that, kid.
7.) I Only Used It Twice!
"</3 Blizzard Why you you let me cheat in piece I only tried the triggerbot in 2 games I don't deserve ban for that. The ahk aimbot is still working and superior but sad that I can't use it anymore :-("
-Response-
*Peace
And no, they most certainly will not allow to to cheat in "piece".
8.) It Was Just A Bot
"what is blizzards ****ing problem?? it must be ilegal to do something like this just banning us for urnning an external program that doesn't even hack the game. it was just a mouse bot zzzzzzzzzz ARE THEY GONNA BAN ME FOR USING PAINT NOW TOO"
-Response-
"IF A PLAYER IS FOUND TO BE CHEATING - OR USING HACKS, BOTS, OR THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE THAT PROVIDES ANY SORT OF UNFAIR ADVANTAGE - THAT PLAYER WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THE GAME. FULL STOP." - Lylirra, community manager
9.) Can I Sue?
"Can I sue Blizzard for this unfair ban?"
-Response -
Except it's not unfair.
10.) My Skype Group Is Banned
"Everyone in my triggerbot coding skype group is banned. What the **** Blizzard."
- Response -
Oooh...
Final Thoughts:
Cheaters look, it said specifically long before Overwatch came out that if anyone is caught cheating will be gone for good. Even if you buy a brand new Overwatch game, they still can find you and ban you again. Some of the comments had people saying that they're hacking still and have yet to get caught, give it time. You will be once they find you. I think it's hilarious to see reactions like this mainly because you have a bunch of sites that were psyched to see Blizzard going to do something about cheating, if you didn't see this well that's your own fault.
Plus, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that cheating in online video games is bad. People get very angry about playing with people who cheat. I play with a friend who looks for these kinds of things and instantly report them if they find something incredibly odd about a death or an ability or whatever. Sure the guy sometimes overreacts a bit to these things, but this is what cheaters basically do to those who want to play the game fairly. Any kind of player who seems like they're extremely freaking good, are looked at as those who are cheating. Hell, I've gotten people claiming that I'm hacking when I'm Widowmaker. This sucks that cheaters make this game sometimes unbearable to tolerate at times.
Maybe you should stop, and just get good?
