Overwatch is a very popular game, and certainly if you're among those who've played it for a while you may have found the hero that you love to play as more than anyone else. A rumour inexplicably spread around the community recently, however, claiming that those who stick to one character would be banned from the game, but it turns out this isn't the case at all, as community manager Josh Engen clarified on the Overwatch forums.
"We believe players can choose to play any available hero during any game at any time, and that their choice of hero alone is not a behavior that should be penalised by our customer service team under any of the player report categories (including griefing, inactivity, or poor teamwork)," he said.
Obviously players who remain in the spawn area, do nothing, or undermine the team's activity will still be reported, as well as those who do chat spamming or insult other players, as Engen continues.
"If a player is staying in the spawn area, refuses to attack the enemy, or refuses [to] support those that are, you should report that player for inactivity," Engen wrote. "If a player actively refuses to play the map's objectives or communicates to the team in a negative fashion, you should report that player for poor teamwork. If a player communicates in a hateful or harassing manner with ANY hero, you should report that player for abusive chat."
Do you think that one-tricks should be banned?
