Blizzard is constantly working toward's making Overwatch a safe place, free from cheaters, hackers, XP farmers, and toxic players. Though the toxic players may get away with their actions, more and more cheaters are getting what they deserve thanks to Blizzard's strong stance on cheating.

Recently, a Reddit post confirmed that Overwatch's new reporting system notifies players when their report actually ended in that player being banned/suspended. If you've ever banned someone and wondered whether or not your effort would pay off, you'll no longer have to wonder anymore going forward.

If your report of a player leads to a ban, you'll now receive a message thanking you:

"Thank you for helping us keep Overwatch fair and fun by reporting players who you suspect are cheating or exploiting the game to gain an unfair advantage. Your reports help us identify players who violate our fair-play policies and disrupt the game for others, making it less enjoyable to play.
We know that our players often wonder about what happens to the people they report. In this case, your recent report led to an action against that player and their account.
We can't provide specific details about the penalty type and duration, but we hope that seeing your reports have an impact will encourage you to send similar reports in the future. Keep up the good work, and thank you for helping us make our games a better place."
