Overwatch cheaters are upset after Blizzard permanently banned them for using supposedly undetectable cheats.

Blizzard has historically taken a hard stance against cheating, especially in its competitive hero-based shooter. The company issues permanent bans to players who are caught cheating, and in some cases, these players are locked out of the game even after re-purchasing it.

In its latest Overwatch update, Blizzard issued another ban wave which caught many players using supposedly undetectable cheat programs and permanently banned them from the game.

The banned hackers voiced their complaints on various cheat forums, and Battle.Net forum user Starcatraz posted some of the best reactions on the official Blizzard forums.

Below are some of the reactions from Overwatch cheaters after being permanently banned from the game:

“Im so ****ing pissed I literally run the hack 1 time which was yesterday and I get banned on my only overwatch account I just bought and now the sale is over ( ****ing people told me that the hack is undetected, I used overjoint btw”

“I’m going to sue Blizzard, who wants to join me?” – “ill join you, we’ll have a solid class action lawsuit”

“top 500 account RIP . just for trying it out for several seconds in training blizzard is a ****ing joke”
