Bans are license specific unless it's from bad accesses to a Battle.net account. We can lock down a Battle.net account when it happens but if you do something goofy in a game (like Backstabbing, poor Mugaro), we can apply temporary or permanent bans on just the game itself depending on severity. Details aren't fully available at this time.

So apparently, if you backstab in a game, your account gets banned.

Not saying that I'm a BSer myself, but I don't really understand why Blizzard allows you to unally your teammates in the first place if they don't want you to BS. Okay, I may be wrong, and you still can't unally but can just attack manually. If anyone can tell us whether SC2 gives the ability to unally teammates, that'd be cool.

Blizzard can do anything to your account without reason, I wouldn't worry about it much.

I'm assuming this is only going to be done if seen in league'd matches, right?

You can't even backstab anymore because you can't de-alliance people on your team.

As far as I know at least.

yep, keep those speedlings in your base you BM player
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Hmm, didn't know one can unally. Does Blizzard mean ppl who target fire their own teammate?

backstabbing such as nuking your teammate in a random 2v2... which is really fun

Its because, In World of warcraft Arena, People win trade to stack there rank. In 2v2 if you random a partner the other team could try to convince the other player to BStab, Thrust making the non BStabing team more Rating thrust higher rank. Not much since most people dont care about 2v2,3v3,4v4,9000v9000 over 1v1.

You can kill your ally's base, but he'll win if you end up winning... so the only way to really backstab is to kill him and lose/leave, which is the same thing as leaving in the first place. You're essentially getting banned for leaving a team game, which is completely stupid.
Hates Fun🤔

You can either attack the units/buildings manually, or just not help your teammate. You could also destroy your entire base/units (or just not do anything to begin with) and then leave, thus not granting him tech/units/econ.

Still, I loved the ability to change up allegiances in bw, especially in custom 3v3s/4v4s for shits and giggles. You could never let your guard down when teaming up with strangers.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Why allow players to attack allies if they can get banned for it..

I kinda doubt they will punish much of these without some sort of proof (i.e. repeated offenses w/ replays). I've killed teammates shit in 2v2 who build stuff/creep in the way of my own buildings. Hell I've even killed teammates who were trying to backstab me. I can't see myself getting banned for any of that so I'm sure they draw the line at repeated offenses where you eliminate your ally.

Yes it's bannable. I got two people banned in beta for doing it. Bad players sometimes get really raged and think that if they kill their teamate and ragequit it'll get back at them somehow. But then they get reported for it and banned. It's a no brainer. Don't backstab your teamates, no matter what.

And yes it requires attack click.

If you couldn't attack allies there would be a whole new dimension of backstabbing i.e. manner building your teammates entire base or spread creep so they can't build anywhere etc.

Nope. They have all the evidence they need. They can look up the logs of the game very, very easily. First time is a ban, I promise. I had it happen to people in beta twice that I reported.

How Pathetic..... You can get banned for PLAYING the way they don't like... rofl OK but ban anyone who doesn't GG too please. Oh and Anyone who talks shit, or farts while playing, or has to go afk in the middle of the game. oo oo ban anyone who makes a typo too!

Sorry, i know this is a vast exageration, but c'mon... I've been backstabbed 500 times and i think this is like shooting yourself in the face with a nailgun.

How could you possibly know if they were actually banned?
