All posts about the banwave should be posted here!

1st Banwave, Wednesday: Pixelclicker and Overjoint v9 users.
2nd Banwave, Thursday/Friday: Soldier82 and Highnoon users.
3rd Banwave, Friday/Saturday: Memory hacks incl private ones.
4th Banwave, Tuesday/Wednesday: Soldier82 and Highnoon users again.
(Oahsys got banned inbetween)
5th Banwave, A week later, 8th Dec: Pixelclicker
6th Banwave, 14th Dec: Pixelclicker/Memory aimbots. Again
Seems to me that this is a huge effort by the new anti-cheat team over at Blizzard. We can only applaud.
7th Banwave 5th Jan: Smaller one for Kefkabot/DVASystems. Owenom, Battle, rumored some other cheats but unconfirmed.
8th Banwave 11th Jan: Small again, this time wider range: Kefkabot/Dvasystems/Owenom/Battle/Ko1n!/OW_aim_assist 1.4/GotchaBot/Some other free cheats scattered across the net.
9th Banwave - 18th Jan: ??? (Some banwave for other cheats, unclear) - SK Bot Public confirmed.
9999th+1 Banwave - 18 Feb: Banwave worldwide. Various providers got minor hit whilst some asian ones lost half their userbase.
9999th+2 Banwave - 20 Feb: Free cheats.
9999th+3 Banwave - 22 Feb: Banwave worldwide again: Several cheats got banned around the web, hard to track which.
9999th+4 Banwave - 29 Feb: China banwave
9999th+5 Banwave - 6 Mar: Korea + China banwave
9999th+6 Banwave - 15 Mar: Mass bans worldwide, a lot of people getting banned on their smurfs too.

Cheats back up and running:
All of them, it seems not everyone gets caught and will probably won't get due to some technical reason presumably.
Same for those who did not get banned for using overjoint even after the banwaves. The detections can vary on a lot of things.
If you still haven't gotten caught yet, you might as well just ride the wave.

So now there's a cheating risk to be remembered.
Edit:
I've been now told that they have left an easter-egg in the small update yesterday.
This is what you get when typing in the KONAMI CODE @ main menu.

This hack is already detected and many accounts are issued for account disclosure.

[xTeain]

Banned on one account. My main account which is odd because I used it the least on this and my two alt accounts both still active.

[Zuzuwha]

Same here. Got banned like 2hours ago. Same message from e-mail but on russian. Have fun.

Here comes the wave ban, for those (like me) who thought blizzard could not detect ahk. GG guys

Banned on one account. My main account which is odd because I used it the least on this and my two alt accounts both still active.

Try to do some counter ban, stay active in you account or anything, the ban is prob coming bro.

@edit: this mean people like huge players Taimou are 100% clear about hack, right? If they werent banned.

Currently we are unsure what cheats are detected.
As many are being listed and reported on, it can be assumed this banwave is based on reports.

Edit:
Due to the sheer low amount of ban reports, it can be assumed this ban wave was just blizzard releasing their bans on people that had been reported a lot.
There's also complaints on Overwatch forums of false bans which strongly suggests the report system is kinda automated for bans.

Edit2: Fitterboy and Stinkyjoint believe the name of the process is what's getting people banned.

[Quintessential]

Once I get banned my hardware ID or something is also banned right? What are the steps I need to take to be able to play Overwatch on my computer again? Other than AHK were private hacks like DvASystems or Highnoon detected?

[jup234]

nothings been detected. these bans are based off manual reports. Even the paid hacks are being hit.

[duperduper]

StinkyJoint's public aimbot has been out / opensourced for couple months now. That's not surprising :/ RIP
I've been using the private one on 3 out of 4 accounts (1 acc i keep it clean) and so far no ban.
Hack used on Smurf acc : Uberwatch, Soldier82, Highnoon, Underlook. (now almost exclusively Highnoon)
Used em almost daily and so far so good. I'll keep you guys updated if something happens.
cheers!

Try changing the Window Title of whatever public cheat you're using.. It's my speculation that
(A) they're detecting cheats by window title /file title.
The same way they detect CE & Scylla

or

(B) they've flagged the users who've accumulated a certain numbers of bans over a certain period of time for a ban.

[duperduper]

i just hope people are honest about the report. not "I NEVER CHEATED ON MY MAIN ACCOUNT BUT GOT BANNED ANYWAYS" bs :/
so we can pinpoint the issue

[babajoojoo]

I've tried dva system and soldier82 and stop using them. Been using stickyjoint v9 on and off. Got banned today. gg blizzard

I think it's B.
Happened immediately after maintenance and there aren't that many reports.

Who wants to help me sue blizzard, looking for experienced lawyers :gusta:
