Effectively Banned Due to Playing Symmetra
Post Body

Hello y'all. I'm new to this subreddit and I love it here. I've been playing Symmetra since open beta. She's my most played on QP with my main account. I have another account where I play just Symm in comp. That's where the issues start. And sorry for all the words below.

To get straight to the point, I play Overwatch on Xbox One. My gamertag is Byzantine Tea. My problem is that many people reporting me due to my hero choice, namely, Symmetra in competitive. Basically, for those that don't know, Xbox has a reputation system. If enough players report you, one gets an "Avoid Me" reputation. This bad reputation greatly increases queue times and pairs you with other bad reputation players. I do not have a problem with this system conceptually, but this system has failed me though. Now, I effectively can't play a single game on Overwatch (or any other game for that matter) on that account with queue times, I witnessed, being at least over 40 minutes (then I just give up). I do not "troll" or "throw" games playing my favorite hero and I don't think I should be reported because of the character I choose in competitive mode.

Currently, I am of Grandmaster rank (SR 4100ish) and a win percentage north of 70%. And if sites like Overbuff are to be believed, I am in the top 5 Symmetra players on Xbox (#2 at the time of this posting). This should show people that I do know how to play Symmetra in competitive mode and that I usually win as well. I can make my favorite hero work.

I contacted Microsoft/Xbox without a reply, though I will continue to try. I know there likely isn't anything Blizzard can due to help. I just wish the community wouldn't report due to hero choice and if Blizzard implements player reporting on console, I won't have to face this issue twice over in the future.
