'Overwatch' Cheat Program: Germany-Based Creator Sued In California Court, Genji/Hanzo Exploit Users Restricted

"Overwatch" creator Blizzard is suing Bossland, a Germany-based software creator, for creating a cheat program. The cheat sheet allows players to get a clear view of where enemies are situated. The lawsuit is filed in California.

Meanwhile, reports that "Overwatch" players who are using the Genji/Hanzo exploit will be restricted from playing the game have surfaced. There are maps and areas that when traversed could result to the crashing of the game's servers.

The "Overwatch" game could not possibly figure out where the ninjas are located or where they should be going. Players through the course of the game end up getting back to the hall with a flashing message saying the server closed to an unexpected error.

Ranchoddas, A Reddit user, claimed that he used Genji/Hanzo exploit several times and led Blizzard to permanently shut down his account. Many players have been using the exploit to dissociate from games in the Competitive Play, which often times are making them lose the game. 

A famous streamer Dyrus reported that he is continuously being kept lagged and disconnected from his "Overwatch" games. He had previously thought that he was either being drophacked or someone was using a third party software that kept disconnecting him.

"Overwatch" is reportedly in its baby phase and many of its players are determined to get ranked. According to game experts, Blizzard is doing the right thing of restricting players who are caught using the exploit and making sure that the game's competitive edge remains intact, PC Gamer reported.

After the launch of "Overwatch," players found out that they could hide Symmetra turrets inside a bridge, which could not be found and targeted. They plotted the exploit out on the next patch, but anyone who used it was not restricted from the game. Reportedly, veteran players will continue to pursue crashing servers, but Blizzard is firm that competitive edge is the priority.

"Overwatch" is new and is at its prime; hence, players were easily able to find exploits for the game. The Competitive Play is out and because the games have higher stakes, Blizzard has to move swiftly to abolish them.
