Recently, the Overwatch 2 player community was flooded with an outrageous account ban: a player only said a few words of "noob" and "worth" in the game, but actually received a permanent account ban.

The player posted a chat history on Reddit and said he filed a complaint about the punishment.However, after the review, Blizzard customer service still maintained the original judgment, on the grounds that the account had previously recorded multiple violations and "had been given many opportunities for correction."

"noob" is also considered an insult? Players are confused

Although "noob" is a bit sarcastic, it looks more like a common game circle slander in the eyes of most players, and often it is just a joke tone.But Blizzard's law enforcement attitude is quite tough, which makes many people call it "oversensitive".

Community comments almost undonely supported the banned players: "It's so outrageous. Is noob still a title in the game okay?" "I can't stand a few words and add a chat blocking word, why do I permanently block the account?"

Blizzard's "verbal red line" has caused controversy again

This is not the first time that Overwatch players have been severely punished for slight words.As early as 2024, professional player Mason "durpee" Kuehne was banned for typing a "f**k" in a chat - more ironic, the word just happened to appear in the word "BAMF" on the belt of the game character Cassidy.

As Overwatch 2 slowly regains its reputation with functions such as new heroes, new modes and map voting, players originally had expectations for the future, but similar punishment incidents have once again questioned whether Blizzard's reporting and punishment system was "too wide-minded".
