Investigations Context
complete
oPaul
I think we need way more context in investigations, such as closer rating ranges (+-100), the country they're from (because if they're from the country they might know a location), maybe even the amount of people that reported this guy. and most importantly, the entire game, not only the round they were reported for. This is to eliminate lucky guesses.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback and suggestions on Investigations! We've gone through the requests and have now shipped several improvements based on your input.
New additions:
- Added Classic Games span for the reported player.
- Added Account Level span for the reported player.
- Added a "How it Works" page with more information about how Investigations work and how cases are handled.
- Replaced "Insufficient Evidence" with a Skip button to make it clearer when you're unsure about a case.
- Added the round timer to the replay, making it easier to evaluate player decisions in context.
Some suggestions were not implemented. In some cases, they would require fundamental changes to how the Investigations system works, making them significantly more complex than they may seem. In other cases, we've chosen not to add certain information because it could unintentionally reveal or help identify the reported player, or introduce details that aren't reliable indicators of cheating and could bias reviewers.

Filip just a quick question. Are the ratings how they are now or before the change?

I completely agree with this - especially the country they're from, as this could make all the difference. A Swedish person (like me) getting a random Swedish town correctly in a short time makes a lot more sense than someone from a completely different part of the world doing it. We should not take for granted that someone who is not from the country won't know something, for example I have lived in Japan and know Japanese so I can read signs and make out which part of Japan we're in in many cases, even though I am Swedish. I can also read Cyrillic which helps a lot in Russia and other countries using Cyrillic, and I do know Spanish on an advanced level, kind of.

Display casual games played in overwatch
Hugo M
Hi folks!
Could you add the "casual games played" in Overwatch?
It's nice that we already have the "duels played", but sometimes a player has a low number of duels, but could have a large number of casual games, and with that, we can provide a more precise evaluation.
Thanks in advance!

Average score and reporter's guess for the overwatch
I6cef6lur6
Hi,
I think it would be helpful to include more useful information while still keeping the identities of the players anonymous. For instance, showing the average score of the reported player in duels in a given country (as was available in the World League) could add valuable context.
Secondly, some reports seem very strange. For example, a player clicks the center of an obvious correct country and they still get reported. It might be helpful to include the guess made by the reporting player as well, as this could help identify "cope reports." If I knew that they guessed the wrong continent, this would be some information for me too.
Thanks!

Anti cheat program suggestion
Simon Morel
After seeing contents about the incoming anti-cheat program, I found highly dangerous to judge a suspect guess on 1 try. You should suggest 3 different guesses from the suspect with maybe the one that causes the report + 2 random guesses that came afterwards.

Investigations Feature

Seeing the Flag of the suspected player aswell as the timer (eg to see if the player was under pressure or not) would be really helpful.

in investigations there should be a textfield to submit a short discription of why you choose your verdict.

Cheat investigations: group all rounds within the same game together
GameboyGenius
This would make it easier to see the context of a report. One close guess might just be a lucky guess. But if 10 rounds of a game are all super close guesses, it might make it more obvious that it's probably a cheater. I've found myself saying not guilty because it seemed like a plausible lucky guess, then seeing the next round from (probably) the same person, based on the rating/number of games played, and going oh, that's why they were reported.

Add an option for "useless" reports in investigations
Ultraritmo82
We have been seeing a lot more investigation cases being submitted lately, and some of them are just silly (for example I just had one where the person guessed Spain on an Ecuador round, and been reported for that).
We should have another option for the verdict to state that the report was useless/unneeded (call it what you want) and if the user that reported it has too many of those, he should not be able to report anymore for some time. This would help decrease the number of cases, avoiding reviewers to lose time because someone was mad after losing a game, and also improve the quality of reviews because you can focus energy on cases where a review is actually needed.
