I wish I could still believe these posts are satire but I've spent enough time reading shit like facebook comments on news articles that this doesn't surprise me at all.
Still pretty hilarious though.

the301stspartan#26 Pls find a scenario where what you say is actually true and a year-ban has any benefit over a permaban.

There would have to be a cheater who gets a year ban, actually repents and patiently follows the game for a year without buying an alt to start playing legit again after the ban expires.

This is not a realistic scenario imo.

Have you ever even played CS? You can literally have a VAC ban, have a kid, have that kid grow up, and still be unable to play CS with him. There's seriously very little practical benefit for even banning people from hacking other than it (arguably) prevent more people from cheating. To the end user who doesn't cheat, the difference between banning hackers and simply preventing anyone from connecting with a detected cheat loaded is negligible. I dont think the threat of banning is actually a deterrent. All you do if you permaban is tax players who want to play the game after cheating. I don't see the point in blocking the portion of people who cheated in the past but now want to play legitimately from playing. If they cheat again on the same account, you could just ban them again.

They warn you. VAC says "if u get caught cheating u get permabanned, no appeal." I've no doubt somehwere in OW is a little box that says "dont cheat or permaban idiot"

just dont fucking cheat, its not like cheating is some involuntary thing people are being punished for. just... don't do it.

Idk how you can say that after having read these... people who cheat in Overwatch do so with the clear intention of ruining other players' experiences for whatever benefit they see in it. Why should they go unpunished?

The probability that the cheater will play again and cheat again is like hundreds of times higher than that of him playing again and not cheating. Furthermore, your proposition would give cheaters literally unlimited chances of trying new cheats with no fear of consequences, giving a huge boost to cheat development.

This doesn't even include the ethical implications. If you break the law, you get punished. Why should you go unpunished for breaking the law of the game? By cheating, you are taking away from the enjoyment of other players on the server, which is Blizzard's source of income. You're thus indirectly causing them losses (see everyone not playing MM because it's infested with cheaters). You're also contributing to their anticheat expenses. It's absolutely fair that you have to compensate Blizzard if you get caught, by buying a new account if you want to play again.

The overlap of people who play Counter-Strike, cheat in video games, have had sex, gotten a girl pregnant who didn't abort, give it away, or simply commit suicide, and end up not being deadbeat dads has to be less than three people, so this isn't really an issue.

If you think that everybody (anybody) shares your absurd rationale that playing against a good player and playing against a cheater are equally enjoyable, you're far removed from reality.

I'm not even sure why this is an argument. One on hand, I'm playing against a good player and I can in time get better and compete with them. On the other hand, I'm shit out of luck unless they're using some shitty public cheat that works half the time (I mean it's 2016, I can't imagine that's a thing anymore)

Listen, up you weeaboos.
We are at war..

War with Valve. Every day they refuse to listen to our beliefs.
We have done everything right. We are merely using our code to make a gamemode that's actually fun to play competitively. There's no harm in that.

What's important is that the people playing matchmaking are victims.
Every 6 months this site has to deal with Valve trolling us with their "rebalances"

If you want to SUPPORT out cause, you have to buy TFTV Premium.
If we get enough people buying TFTV Premium, this site will grow and we will be able to hire game designers that can help us fix TF2.

Maybe in Valve HQ eventually

My people don't have to face this game dying any longer, we must stop this great evil called Valve.
For a better future!
Invest in TFTV Premium!

On a serious note though it makes me laugh that these are the people who hack. I'm surprised some of them can turn on a computer let alone download hacking software.

Happens all the time competitively.

I have multiple relatively young friends who got caught cheating and banned from ozfortress for a year or two before I knew them and they're now just normal members of the community like anyone else. That's part of the reason why I personally don't support hardware id bans.

That said, it's overwatch. Out of all the games to not be able to play, that's a pretty good one imo.
