Nobody likes cheaters and that’s a fact, especially in video games where cheaters can ruin an entire gaming experience for you. Players must team up with others to complete objectives on the battlefield.

With any luck, that means Overwatch will be as smooth as a sheet of glass when it launches on May 24.

Though Blizzard themselves will be monitoring for cheaters in Overwatch, the community is encouraged to report suspicious behavior.

Blizzard has stated that any players found to be cheating in Overwatch, through hacks, bots of third-party software, will receive a lifetime ban from the game.

Meanwhile, the May Overwatch Open Beat saw a great ton of positive feedback, as well as helpful and constructive citicism…there may have been a little, wee bit of cheating involved.

Blizzard Entertainment’s recent open beta for Overwatch drew huge crowds, attracting a whopping 9.7 million players. You’ll also be able to report players in-game by going to the Report menu. In other Overwatch news, the next animated short will debut next week on the official site, and will star in-game heroes Hanzo and Genji.

“Some players are just really good at first-person shooters”, Lylirra writes. Cheaters will find themselves quickly locked out until they pay another $60 and start a new Battle.net account. The game modes include “Quick Play”, “Play vs. AI”, “Custom Game”, “Weekly Brawl modes”, “Tutorial”, “Practice Range”, and “Practive vs. AI”.
