Blizzard is making a big splash and banning a large number of players in a major ban wave from Heroes of the Storm. In addition to the usual cheaters, many AFK players, leavers, and slackers were also affected.
Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA game, and teamwork is particularly important. Only if all players in the team cooperate and contribute to the victory can a match be won. However, if individual players do not participate in the match or only sporadically take down a few minions, it does not help anyone.
Out with the Killjoys!
Such “game refusals” ruin the fun for everyone in HotS, and Blizzard is keeping an eye on these players as well. In the recent ban wave, Blizzard, according to a forum post by community manager Spyrian, reviewed the gameplay behavior of accused players. When it was noted that a player had done little in a large number of their games, the team took further action.
Next, it was checked whether there were complaints about the player regarding their behavior, and the entire account was re-examined. This is to ensure that no one is wrongfully banned. However, if a player is caught, they should not expect mercy and face a temporary or even permanent ban.
