I literally just got out of a shadow ban YESTERDAY man… this is #10 for me within 2 months. Why do the devs punish good players? Not every single good player on PC is cheating and if you think otherwise, then you need a serious re-evaluation of your skill…
Also, literally ALL of my shadow bans were because I got spam reported, why has Ricochet done NOTHING about the spam reporting issue? They said they were going to start punishing false reports like 4 months ago, but nothing has happened in that regard…
If shadow bans are going to be this frequent for some people, at the very least make them appealable and not waste 5 – 7 days of our time just to have it happen again… Like seriously, people at Ricochet don’t seem to wanna use their fucking brains to solve a problem that has been plaguing this game for over 3 years (the shadow bans in-general, spam reporting wasn’t a problem till about a year ago (that I know of))…
I’m not buying a PS5 for $500 just so I can play a free game…

That account is chalked. You’ll continue to be in the ban loop.

I watched some of your gameplay and it didn’t seem suspicious. I’ve heard that once you’ve been shadow-banned, it makes subsequent reports carry a bit more weight until enough time has passed. Not sure how true that is.
I’m gonna bet the report was from the last squad you killed. They were trying to figure out how you knew they were there (sound) and the second probably thought you had walls because people don’t realize that when you kill someone their teammates momentarily ping on the map.

I got off pc and went back to console for a week after like 4 shadowbans in a row and that fixed it for me for like 6 months

Me too… gonna make a YouTube video about this tomorrow.
Was playing against the craziest cheaters all day in shadowban lobbies.
Was really funny but also sad to see people in my lobbies slowly realize: “wait, is this a shadow lobby?!”
What the fact that there’s two blatant cheaters on each team gave it away?
