Common Ban Reasons

These ban reasons are all cited from the Blizzard Website.

Account Action: Suspended until XXXX/XX/XX

Offense: Gameplay / Behavioural Offense

You don't need to be cheating in order to receive such a ban. It has happened in the past with some users, though it isn't common. It happens due to queuing with other cheaters in a stack.

Account Action: Account Closure - Overwatch Account

Offense: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("hacks")

This ban is a cheat related ban, meaning either it's detected or there were enough reports made against you for hacking that triggered the ban or you've been manually reviewed.

Action Taken: Account Closure

This ban email is more generic and common amongst all users (regardless if they're cheating or not). The email itself is very vague and doesn't provide much insight as to what triggered the ban. There's a lot of factors to account for when this kind of ban occurs.

Game: Overwatch

Action Taken: We have silenced this account.

This suspension is issued due to toxicity either in text chats or voice. Again, doesn't require you to be keying to receive such a ban. Just /hidechat in Overwatch and leave VC to avoid all of this.
