How To Get Unbanned In Overwatch 2?
If you believe you were silenced, suspended, or permanently banned unfairly or due to an error in the banning process, you can submit a support ticket at Blizzard’s help centre to appeal against the decision. You can follow the steps below to submit an appeal.
- Visit the game's Help Center.
- Select the option to categorize the issue yourself.
- Click on the Account and then Appeal account action.
- Select Appeal a penalty.
- Select Continue and click on Continue appeal.
- Fill out the Appeal Form and submit it.
Make sure you fully explain your case in the appeal for the best possible outcome. Blizzard customer support will then analyze your account’s behavior before giving a decision in the form of a final review. You can no longer appeal after a final review has been given.
This process has a higher chance of working if you have been banned due to allegations of cheating or boosting. Mild offenses are easier to appeal for and may result in you getting unbanned. Players with serious offenses such as hate speech or racial slurs have a zero percent chance of getting unbanned.
Why Do Players Get Banned In Overwatch 2?
Blizzard is fully committed to keeping the gameplay experience player-friendly for everyone in Overwatch 2, and for that reason, they have implemented various rules that everyone must follow. Any violation of these rules can lead to temporary suspensions or, in some cases, a permanent ban as well. The following is a general list of violations that can lead to an Overwatch ban.
| Category | Explanation |
| Cheating | Cheating, such as using third-party software, win-trading, scamming, etc. |
| Communication | Hate speech, disruptive language, harassment, or obscenities in text or voice chat |
| Behaviour | Any in-game activity that ruins general player experience such as griefing, smurfing, trolling, or throwing matches |
| Naming | Offensive user-customizable names, such as in-game player IDs or BattleTag names |
If you want to avoid account restrictions, follow these in-game policies when playing Overwatch 2. Gaining unfair advantage through hacks, bullying, or harassment are all frowned upon activities and should be refrained from at all costs.
What Are The Types Of Penalties In Overwatch 2?
Blizzard has divided its punishments into three different categories to separate violators depending on the severity of the violation.
Silencing
The first kind is Silencing, where the account holder is barred from using communication systems of any sort in the game. These include both voice and text chat. Toxic and abusive players in that misuse chat are the ones who usually get silenced.
As soon as you get banned in Overwatch 2, having some skins at your disposal ensures you are able to get in the action without feeling embarrassed about your pesky peasantry.
Suspension
The second type is Suspension, where offenders are temporarily barred from playing the game. Competitive suspensions are usually handed out to people who quit competitive matches mid-game or troll their teammates. Whereas those who share accounts or boost teammates are handed out account suspensions, which usually last up to a few days.
Permanent Banning
This punishment is reserved for the most severe cases, including cheaters who use aim or wall hacks to disrupt casual or competitive gameplay. Toxic users who harass or abuse other players are also usually banned permanently from the game. This shows how serious Blizzard is when it comes to getting rid of toxicity from Overwatch 2.
