Blizzard to Ban Cheaters in ‘Overwatch’

Blizzard will permanently ban any player found cheating in – on their first offense.

Announced in a post about cheating on the Overwatch forums, the policy will be to slap a ban on any player “found to be cheating—or using hacks, bots, or third-party software that provides any sort of unfair advantage”.

The post goes onto inform players how they can report cheating, and guidelines for doing so.

Blizzard has previous here – in 2012, it permanently banned cheaters in Diablo, and temporarily banned thousands of Hearthstone players found to be “botting” in Hearthstone in 2014.
