Why is my friend getting banned?

Match ID 22695192

Finished a game, were both laughing about how not great it went (first game of the night.) They were then banned for 1h40m, completely derailing our game session. User `killhartman`. I'm `dead.`.

It's the second ban they've received while we've been playing. Starting to think it's just salty teammates reporting them for feeding? We really like playing, and they were playing a character for the first time, but we can't keep playing the game to get better?

How can we avoid this from happening?

Your friend should try not deliberately feeding. You guys are playing in a lobby at near the lowest skill level possible and your friend is 0 kills and 15 deaths in 30 minutes while simultaneously having not done enough damage to kill a single person. So the issue isn't that they are full inting every respawn, as their damage would be higher. I could see this happening if they were constantly stunlocked, but the more likely scenario is that the held w into the enemy team repeatedly, for the entire match.

At the MMR your lobbies are at, just watching videos on the macro game, how to control/push lanes, and play for objectives should be enough to carry games.

but just clicking into a random point in the VOD, it looks like your friend is a bot. They walked into a 1v2 ignored the two opponents to shoot (and miss) creeps, then burned all their stamina to roll away after getting hit for half their health, just to card back into the enemies and die.

This isn't really an issue with them attempting learning a character but with them not playing the game. They don't seem to be thinking about anything and it's impacting their ability to play the game and the quality of matches for everyone who is matched with them.

I would recommend sticking to playing bot matches and watching some videos on the games macro game.


EDIT: Watching more than 10 seconds of gameplay it looks like they aren't thinking about the game, because they may be entirely new to gaming or their peripherals and are spending their time trying to figure out which buttons do things... I would definitely recommend only playing bot games as they are going to be way less intense while getting used to controls.
