Expect him to be played in every game for the following week. If you are wondering how will he fair in the battlegrounds, a spotlight video for him is available.

Aside from that, reporting options and the silence penalty is introduced.

Here’s the list of what you can report people for:

Abusive Chat

• Insults, cruelty, or ongoing harassment directed at one or more players.
• Hate speech
• Real life threats

Intentionally Feeding

• Player intentionally and repeatedly gets their hero killed in order to anger allies or feed XP to the enemy team.

AFK/Non-Participation

• Player is idle or inactive for an extended period of time during a game.
• Player is present, but has given up or refuses to take part in the game.

Cheating/Botting/Hacking

• Suspicious behavior which indicates the player may be using third-party software or hack programs to gain an advantage during a game.

Inappropriate Name

• Character names or BattleTags that are offensive, insulting, bypass the mature language filter, or are otherwise considered objectionable.

Spam

• Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure nonsense
• Blatant or repeated advertising for third party websites

Reported players will be punished by being silenced. Their chat will be restricted for 24 hours which will also be doubled for each penalty received after — with no maximum.
