Report system is easily exploited because it uses the amount of reports as it's metric to issue restrictions and bans

I just finished a game the enemy team along with my own teammates didn't like the fact that my username was in Arabic and started being racist with tasteless unoriginal bombs jokes and why I am playing Lash instead of Bebop the character that uses bombs

You know the typical 12 years old online fatherless behaviors I am use to it no problem I just muted them all after a while then a Paige and a Viscous on my team started following me and griefing me all the time with Health beam and Viscous's Cube ruining my ults and combos and after the match ended I reported them both for griefing

I was upset so I shut the game down for sometime then opened it again after sometime only to find that I got 48 hours comms restriction I assume I got mass reported because it would be a silly idea to think I got comms restriction for muting everyone else in the match or because I reported 2 people for griefing because those are the only 2 actions I did in that match other than just trying to play the match

I can live with the 2 days forced mute for something I didn't do while the real abusers got away scot free but I just hope this wouldn't be a normal thing like in CS2 where someone can just mass report someone they don't like for whatever reason and have them be comm restricted or give them a 24 hour cooldown people even abusing this report system in CS2 by using bots to mass report I just hope this wouldn't be the case in Deadlock

Sorry if this feel like vent post but I am really frustrated coming from CS2 only to find the same exploitable report system that reward bad actors more than stop toxic behivors being copy pasted from there in the end this kind of report system doesn't really help combat toxicity and bad behaviors that much it will be used as a weapon by bad actors to punish players they simply don't like for whatever reason like how it's the case in CS2

Do you just never get any commendations? You can be a real shithead in this game as long as you play well enough to get commendations to offset the amount of reports you get.

Thank you for your reply yeah I get commendations every match and I give commendations back too for good players on my team or enemy team I am not claiming I am God's greatest gamer but I play well at least for my rank and try to be nice to people even the ones who I clearly disagree with and if things got heated I just try to stay calm and shut my mouth

Coming from CS I learned to ignore shitheads and trolls and deal with it but still the same mass report trolling bullshit in CS2 is straight up copy pasted in Deadlock in my opinion I would rather deal with toxicity than giving bad actors a clearly broken report system to abuse and grief other players
