How to Report Players
| Think carefully before making a report. |
|---|
| When making a report, only report players who have engaged in behavior that goes against Blizzard's policies such as using offensive language, cheating, or disrupting the gameplay. |
For the Console Version
| Steps for the Console Version (PS4/PS5/Switch/Xbox) | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Social menu |
| 2 | Select the player you want to report from the group or recent players |
| 3 | Choose "Report" and select the relevant item |
| 4 | Select "Continue" |
For the console versions such as PS4 or Switch, you can report players through the Social menu. Choose the player you want to report from the group or recent players in Social, select the relevant item for the report, and submit it.
For PC Version
| Steps for PC (Windows) Version | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Right-click on the player's name in the text chat |
| 2 | Click on "Report" and select the appropriate option |
| 3 | Enter a description of the player's actions |
| 4 | Select "Continue" |
For the PC version, you can report players through the text chat. Select the player in the text chat by right-clicking on their name, choose the appropriate option, and report them.
Same as the Console Version, Reporting is also possible from Social
For the PC version, just like the console version, you can also report players from the Social menu. If it's difficult to find the player through the text chat, try finding them in Social and report them.
How to Avoid Players
Use Social or Chat for avoidance, just like reporting
If you don't want to play with a specific player or their allies you should use "Avoid this player." Just like reporting, avoidance is possible through Social in the console and PC. However, the PC also offers "Avoid this player" through text chat as well.
Avoidance results in no matching for 7 days
The player you selected for avoidance will not be matched with you as an ally for 7 days. They can still be matched as an enemy, and the avoidance will be automatically lifted after one week. If you start matching with them as an ally again, it's recommended to add them back to the avoidance list.
