Salty cheater tears after new round of Overwatch banhammer

Enjoy the complaints of cheaters.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 1 December 2016

It turns out that cheat programs that were thought to be invisible for Blizzard weren't as invisible as some people thought. This resulted in a hefty wave of salty tears from recently banned gamers who had no idea at all why this happened to them. A user over at Battle.net has collected some of these complaints and boy are they fun to read. Here is a selection, but if you enjoy salty cheaters as much as we do, go to Battle.net for more:

• Im so ****ing pissed I literally run the hack one time which was yesterday and I get banned on my only Overwatch account I just bought and now the sale is over ( ****ing people told me that the hack is undetected, I used overjoint btw)

• I'm going to sue Blizzard, who wants to join me?

• Please update this as detected. I used the hack probably 10 times and never once got a POTG with it and never raged killed everyone. Yet I have been banned.

• Got banned on my main. I should have known better to use a free hack.... this sucks.

Do you think Blizzard is doing the right thing by cancelling the cheaters' accounts, which makes them lose their bought games?
