A fair amount of the Overwatch news we get comes from the Overwatch forums, and this story is no different, as on a general discussion about reporting on consoles, game director Jeff Kaplan had some very good news for us all:
"Reporting on console will be available when patch 1.14 goes live (the patch that has DM and TDM and is currently on the PTR for testing). Thanks for being so patient with us."
"Also, it's important to note the reporting system and punishments are very much an ongoing development for us. Improvements will continue over time. We are working on increased punishments for high frequency offenders, email notifications when your reports result in disciplinary action (we're experimenting with this right now and we'll expand this as we refine it) and eventually notifications in the game client when your report results in disciplinary action."
So while it might not work exactly as planned first of all, it's good to know it's certainly on Blizzard's radar, and that high frequency offenders will be punished. Is reporting something that's been on your mind most as a console player?
