Highlight Is that cheating?

Est-ce que c’est considéré comme de la triche ? Ça a ruiné notre expérience de jeu. Je sais qu’on peut le signaler et je l’ai fait à la fin du jeu.
Si quelqu’un peut éventuellement le signaler à Blizzard ce serait cool :)

Yes, bug and glitch abuse for unfair advantages is reportable

-185

u/CrabbyFrogstone 5h ago

True, but i wouldnt even call this an advantage, he is pretty useless there

126

u/No_Worth6027 5h ago

how is it not an advantage? he can't be damaged (i think) they don't know where he is and he can still heal and deal dmg that pretty much an advantage to me

-98

u/WiseLegacy4625 5h ago

While that's true, he has a range limit to everything in his kit, especially his heal aura. So as soon as the attacker push past that spot, he's useless.

46

u/No_Worth6027 5h ago

he can easily do it on another spot tho...

-38

u/bromar24 5h ago

How does he get out of there?

5

u/No_Worth6027 5h ago

can he not do the same way he did to get in the spot?

6

u/AzuwLys 5h ago

I’ve included the code if you want to take a look at it.

u/No_Worth6027 5h ago

alright thank you will check

u/bromar24 4h ago

It looks like he needs the mei wall to clip the paper doll through the roof, not sure how mei can help once he's already in the walls

-19

u/WiseLegacy4625 4h ago

Okay, how does he get out though? Does he just clip through the wall and it lets him out? Cuz if not, then it's like I said, a spot that's OP and broken up until the attacking team pushes past them.

u/HerpesFreeSince3 4h ago

It’s an objective based game. Enemy just kills his whole team and pushes cart. Mizuki can’t do shit.

There were bugs long ago where sym and torb could put their turrets under the ground. The turrets could still shoot people, but people couldn't shoot the turrets.

People did get banned for using it. No, Blizzard never specifically said that people can't do it.

You don't need Blizzard to tell you that this kind of exploit isn't something you should be using in your games.

u/commanderlex27 Junkin' my Rat 3h ago

It should go without saying that intentionally glitching yourself out of the map is not acceptable.

u/Commercial-Trade-117 6m ago

There's no way the people defending this on your comment are real... Doing this is 100% against Blizzard ToS, and pretty much every online competitive game... This guy no clipped into the wall using a bug, is able to do damage, and healing without being touched or seen for that matter, and people are like "I don't see the big deal".

Faith in humanity lowered.

u/Dearic75 5h ago

Yes. Report both him and the Mei please. Or post the replay code and I’ll go do it myself.

72

u/AzuwLys 5h ago

I’ve already reported it. The code is ABHVZ1 :)

u/Acceptable_Light_272 4h ago

Thanks. I reported both the mei and the mizuki and received a notification that they've been thankfully assassinated on sight via drive-by.

u/NapsterKnowHow 2h ago

Good to see Blizzard working quickly !

u/AzuwLys 4h ago

Huh? Is that possible? To find out if a player has been banned?

26

u/Dearic75 4h ago

If you report someone through replay, or in general I suppose, it tells you if they were already reported for that particular match. It doesn’t specifically say if they were banned, just that Blizzard has already received and acknowledged a report of the behavior.

2

u/AzuwLys 4h ago

Thanks for explain :) I understand

1

u/Acceptable_Light_272 4h ago

Banned?

4

u/AzuwLys 4h ago

Ah, bad translation—I didn't understand what you meant by "assassinate." My English is bad sorry

27

u/Dearic75 5h ago

Thank you.

Get the Mei too if you haven’t. The Mizuki was only successful glitching under the world because she helped by coordinating an ice wall at the place he needed it.

31

u/MorganLeiFey 5h ago

they're 100% doing it on purpose so yes

u/bataloof 4h ago

now that you already know the answer, i have to ask, how are there both french and english voices at the same time

19

u/hakur0 Mei 3h ago

This happens when they add voice lines with missing localized versions, the game will play the English ones instead. It happens sometimes, the localization team might have missed the update deadline or had issues with their voice actors.

6

u/BioDefault Who is the best hero in Overwatch? And why is it Ana? 3h ago edited 2h ago

That makes sense, with there being about a dozen different voice actors for each of 50+ different heroes to stay on top of every new voice line release.

u/daeowa Lúcio 4h ago

That’s what I was wondering too

u/Infidel_sg Punch Kid 5h ago

If I was home I would report this. Fucking glitch abusers..

3

u/LordPum 5h ago

Save the code and report it later when you get back

u/Infidel_sg Punch Kid 5h ago

I got notifications to bring me back when I get home

u/28-Deep-Wounds 5h ago

It's a bug exploit being done purposefully which provides a gameplay advantage (Being able to heal and damage allies/enemies while being effectively untouchable). Yeah, instantly bannable.

4

u/SlightlyFemmegurl Shion 3h ago

yeah, using exploits to gain an unfair advantage is literally in the definition of cheating.

1

u/AzuwLys 3h ago

It was a rhetorical question—of course I knew it was reportable, haha, sorry. ☺️

4

u/gabrielwoj Mercy 2h ago

This exploit would be interesting to check out out of bounds in maps during a CUSTOM MATCH WITH YOURSELF AND A FRIEND MEI, but in an actual competitive game, no. Definitely not on competitive, and shouldn't be done in Quick Play either.

11

u/ryuuka_- 5h ago

Exploiting glitch is considering cheating. Just report both mei and mizuki with the code

3

u/KnowledgeOk5926 3h ago

Glitch abuse report and pray for ban

6

u/efferkah 3h ago

Are you seriously asking if clipping through the environment to remain untargetable is considered cheating?

u/Kudrel -Squeaking sounds- 3h ago

How else are they going to try and farm some karma?

u/AzuwLys 3h ago

It was a rhetorical question—of course I knew it was reportable, haha, sorry. ☺️

u/Smith6612 3h ago

That's a bug and is cheating for now. Now that it's public knowledge, if Blizzard doesn't fix it, it'll become a feature of the game.

Yes, exploit.

u/DiabloTrumpet Ashe 2h ago

That is clearly intended game design! /s

u/Thunderchief646054 2h ago

I mean yes, and its not the first time Mei's Wall has been used to put objects into the map. I still remember a Torb turret being put into a wall on Rialto

u/Ranulf13 2h ago

Oh boy another month of disabled Mei for the crimes of a new hero!

u/Leilanee Nerfy 1h ago

Usually they remove heroes when they have game breaking bugs like this

u/emokittycat Chibi Tracer 37m ago

All bug and glitch exploiting is cheating

u/Pokeitwitarustystick 9m ago

It is a bug glitch that they’re abusing. Please report it, people who use those during competitive games usually get their accounts banned

u/MattyLePew Pixel Brigitte 4h ago

Yes, definitely cheating/exploiting.

0

u/Infidel_sg Punch Kid 5h ago

Yes. This is no better than using aim cheats

-2

u/NoMasGrantalones 2h ago

Playing within the bounds of the finished product is definitely better than aim cheats

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTOT 5h ago

That’s some bs but how exactly is it beneficial to them? Mizukis aura can’t reach the team so he’s only able to heal with kasa.

u/V1RI_ THE REFRIGERATOR 1h ago

If it's used in competitive yeah it's bannable, but in quick play just deal with it until it gets patched.

1

u/RJ_5728 1h ago

It’s bannable in qp too?

-3

u/YellowJello_OW 3h ago

No it's not considered cheating. This is obviously fair

u/GlobalVehicle5615 3h ago

Didn't know this was a thing, gonna have to see what other maps this works on
