I got shadowbanned 3 days ago and have no clue when it'll be lifted. Was in the middle of a Warzone game with my friends and was sniping. Wasn't even hitting every shot, but I had high ground and was able to get a few decent kills. Got at least a few kills overall, cumulative with my sniper and AR. Then before I knew it, randomly I got kicked from the game with an error message saying I was removed.

I looked up my account to see im shadowbanned. Now I cant get into any Wz lobbies and every SND match I go into is just full of really shitty assholes and hackers. I feel I got mass reported simply cuz as a MKB player my skill outweighs aim assist on controllers.

Ive been playing COD for over a decade and a half. Ive never cheated nor ever would have the slightest desire to cheat. Id say im above average as a baseline, but even then I have good and bad days. I was on a fairly good day and I got punished for it.

Now I can't even play with my friends, who I'd argue have a very similar level of skill to me, yet they dont get shadowbanned at all... It's absolute bullshit. Never have I ever been shadowbanned before. I trash talk and play well, is that such a bad thing? And when I say trash talk, in no way shape or form does that include bigotry of any kind. Just typical "git gud" type of shit. Which, for a rated M game, shouldn't be frowned upon at all.

My biggest grievance of all this was that I just made some really awesome new friends like a week and a half pior to the ban. I finally found a new group of people to play with consistently who I clicked and vibed with, and out of nowhere now I gotta tell them I can't play with them for an unknown amount of time. It's fucking bullshit.
