Why do this?? so brand new players in bronze can get drop hacked now??? real nice
They can't play they are banned. They don't remove banned players from the server until reset so that all database links are valid ie when you click on match history, every game you played even vs a drop hacker is there. They were demoted to bronze so that the gm league didn't have hackers in it, as the gm league is used to tourney invites ect.

I think this is even better than banning him (especially considering they're all in the same division)
because it is very demotivating
edit: oh he can't play. allrighty

Tin League for banned accounts incoming?
|
the RUST league would be the most awesomest hacker league ever.
|
Nice to see that happen but i think the damage has already been done

How so? Someone won a 1000 $ tournament by drop hacking or what?

I bet it's just temporary. I haven't read through the thread, it's likely that somebody already mentioned this, but Blizzard tends to ban in waves. They probably just temporarily demoted them to make it their GM league legitimate again. I bet they'll ban them all and all other drop/maphackers detected at the start of season 3.

Well now they can just smuf in bronze, still fun.
|
id guess his still banned, might just has kept his profile.

Yeah, I'm pretty much sure that Blizzard is just trolling at him as well :D
|
That's pretty funny. I'm sure they won't continue drop hacking in bronze... they'll get bored eventually.
Guess he is still banned though.
|
I think this is more demoralizing because the leagues are locked for two weeks! For two weeks this fuck will not be able to do anything! And plus, if he drop-hacks I'm sure he is a 12 year old kid that thinks he is cool that can't even win in Bronze League.

I've heard that in the next patch Blizzard is introducing "The GrandHacker League", maybe this is that bronze division but it doesnt have a new icon yet.
When you are placed in GH you can use whatever cheat you like but you can face only other GH players. After season ends top GH and top GM player will play a showmatch during Blizzcon.

maybe this new bronze league filled with hackers can only queue against other people in the same bronze league ; / some kind of trolling punishment
|
They should just make it so all the hackers just play each other.
|
I don't think Blizzard is trolling or trying to be humorous. It just makes sense that if they don't delete accounts and they have to move it out of GM, they move it to bronze. Either it is banned or will be banned soon.

Blizz trolling. What would be really trolling is if they were given mmr allow that they can only play each other and their mmr is so low that it's nearly impossible to play enough games to raise their mmr to play real people.
also they might just not want the hazzle of deleting everything about them... so they simply place them in a bronze league (guessing its pretty simple for them to change league) to simply remove them from the top parts of the ladder, then baning them. Perhaps someone that have the time and will to check will see if they actually play more games
the perfect troll would ofc be that they make a little function that drop hack them back every time they try to ladder?

Mb this is banned division

My personal opinion is that this is the immediate response. Basically Blizzard move ppl on ladders by creating new divisions for people with similar MMR. So essentially all they had to do was to change all the hackers MMR to a similar level ( in this case it would be a minus number) and move them to the same division, then lock that division. ( isolates most of them). I imagine this would free up the GM leagues while the division lock is in place, and it gives them at least 2 weeks to work on a more permanent solution.
I personally stand for Blocking IP's of known hackers.
To people saying they wont do this due to revenue? you don't realize that having hackers in the game will do more damage to revenue than removing them?
how many people left games like counterstrike because of hacks?
Yeah I'm also hoping for Blocking IP, but I still don't think it's what blizzard going to do.
