'Overwatch' Update: Blizzard Preps the Game for the New Year in Latest Rollout
Blizzard Entertainment is wrapping up the year by releasing updates for "Overwatch" that will make for better playability and overall gaming experience next year.
For starters, the studio has made tweaks to the player report system and how it will be for gamers who are reported for their misbehavior by fellow gamers:
Players being reported will receive an in-game message letting them know that they have been reported, along with a warning concerning continued negative behavior. Ongoing misconduct will result in silence, suspension, or a permanent ban, depending on the severity of the infraction (in severe cases, players may receive their punishment before receiving the initial in-game message).
