Player complaints coming to Overwatch for consoles

Although we don't know when that will be.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 25 January 2017

When playing multiplayer on PC, you have to be prepared for annoyances and cheaters, but even if it is a lot better on consoles, it does have some of the same problems as well. Fortunately, PC players can complain directly to Blizzard, but this feature is absent from consoles.

This made one player complain on Battle.net and write that Blizzard needs to sort this out, and behold, game director Jeff Kaplan showed up to address this:

"This feature is coming to both PS4 and Xbox," he responded. "I don't have an exact ETA because there are many moving parts to make this happen. My hope is that everything locks into place before summer... or sooner. But we're at the mercy of things beyond our control on this one and we've been working super hard to make it happen."

Hopefully it happens sooner rather than later to get rid the game of weirdos who are only there to ruin other peoples fun rather than play as intended. Do you think Overwatch has a big problem with annoying players, or are there other games that spring to mind first?
