Permanently banned from matchmaking - no reason?

[WORMWIZ]

I was attempting to invite somebody to Deadlock today but repeatedly received an error message, then when I tried to matchmake a little later I realised I'd been banned. I can't quite think why, I've been playing happily for the past few days. I thought possibly the person who invited me had cheated and been banned themselves, but I'm unsure of that at the moment.

I'm unable to matchmake in Deadlock player matches, or bot matches, both private and public. Still able to spectate matches.

I've been playing mostly with other friends queuing as duos or trios and neither of them are banned, which is why I thought it could have been my inviter. Is there any way to find the particular reason for the ban?

Thanks in advance.

They're starting to ban hackers abusing Vindicta, getting 125k dmg in a 30 min game God is good

Good to hear cheaters are being cleaned up, but I can assure you I wasn't hacking

This appears to be a common problem but for most people its temp bans, this is the first instance I saw where someone was perma banned.

So far I can see it seems most of the manual cheat reviewing team is a bunch of Deadlock players while they work on a proper anti-cheat software.

I really don't know how much of an impact such "Cheat Moderator" have but could definitely be human error or abuse?

I do hope they have a actual official to look through a review from the moderator before banning the person.
