Blizzard Entertainment Bans 'Overwatch' Hackers; Cheaters Whine About Getting Caught

“Overwatch” has seen another round of in-game hackers and Blizzard Entertainment quickly acted on this matter by immediately banning the players cheating on the said video game. Funny though as the players who were caught red-handedly cheating had the nerve to whine about it online.

Every online video game is prone to hackers and cheaters and “Overwatch” is no stranger to that. There are several illegal hacks going around that can be used in the said video game at the player’s own risk. Programs that are called bots improve the gameplay through various ways. One of the most used hack programs is called the Highnoon, which is a pun on one of the playable characters named McCree, enables the user to activate the aimbot that enhances the aiming at maximum percent.

Blizzard Entertainment has made it their top priority to monitor their latest franchise, “Overwatch” by making sure players are happy with their product. And the last thing they would want is players complaining and stopping to play because a bunch of cheaters just could not handle a fair game. The banning system for “Overwatch” has been highly praised and has been said to be the most brutal in all current Blizzard games.

A recent crackdown by Blizzard has caught a lot of hackers and banned them even in the middle of the game, impressing the rest of the “Overwatch” players. Somehow the development team behind this video game has found a way to easily and instantly trace bots. Some of those who were banned for using illicit hacks have voiced out their frustrations and the ones who were not caught remain smug for being undetected yet.

Those who complained were mostly players who claimed that they have used the cheat engines for the first time and it was a waste to throw away the account they have spent hours on. Others complained to the sources of the hack and disproved the notion that the said hacks were untraceable. But there are some who were banned that are determined to make a comeback by purchasing a new game to make a new account. Hopefully this time, they won’t be careless and try something sneaky to get banned again as Blizzard has declared that they are on the watch 24/7.
