- Here is a list of potential solutions to reducing cheating.
- Overwatch Rewards & Tier System

- Tier 2
- X Drops Per Week Increase
- X Increase in Overwatch Cases to review
- CS:GO Steam Badge 'Overwatch Investigator' (permanent)
- In-Game Reports hold more weight than a regular user
- Access to Reputation System
- Reputation expires every 14/30 Days
- Can give +/- 1 reputation point to any player they are in a competitive match with
- A +1 costs nothing
- A -1 to another player costs a reputation point from the player
- Reputation actions are limited to 2-5 per day, and only once per player per week
- Maintain a verdict accuracy of 80% for X cases/week to be promoted to Tier 3
- Maintain a verdict accuracy of ~50%-70% to maintain Tier 2, and not be demoted a tier
- Tier 3
- All of Tier 2
- CS:GO Steam Badge 'Overwatch Case Veteran' (permanent)
- Access to the 'CS:GO Overwatch Forum'
- Maintain an 80% verdict accuracy AT ALL TIMES, and receive an extra drop in-game (increase drop chance or quantity?)
- Ability to kick players from Competitive Matchmaking games IF their reputation is negative (-1, or -5, or any number)
- Any abuse, accounts are banned.
- As an added measure, the system could automatically track the accounts that get kicked, and if they don't get 'punished' after continuing to play, the Overwatch user loses their kick ability after too many illicit kicks.
- Review a minimum of ~70%/80%/90% of cases given per week or be demoted to Tier 2
- CS:GO Overwatch Forum is where Tier 3 Overwatch users can communicate more intimately with Valve on the issue of cheating (and other things like player behaviour). They can discuss policies for rule breakers, how to deal with things that arise, or how to improve the system in a more mature area, with others who actively use Overwatch, and are contributing to a better game.
- Tiers could unlock emotes (ban hammer?), or CS:GO achievements. There could be achievements for getting 5/10/20 cheaters banned, or maintaining a verdict accuracy of ~70%/80%/90% for a week. Lots of choices for keeping Overwatch users motivated.
- All of the above Overwatch changes motivate players to contribute in reducing cheaters, but in a legitimate manner. Unlike plain rewards, these require users to maintain accuracy in their reports, and if they don't, they are demoted or lose all benefits. This should mean that those who utilize Overwatch will use it correctly, and not abuse it. Those that abuse it will be demoted, or punished by an automatic system. Tier 3 Overwatch users could even have an extra system to police all Overwatch users. This can be elaborated on further if needed. If this system can work out in Competitive Matchmaking, adjustments should be made to include it in Casual matchmaking as well.
- The goal here is to make Overwatch incredibly active so that cheaters get banned within a couple of games, which will burn through all of their back up accounts quickly. It should also reduce negative player behaviour, AFK'ers, and leavers. The Overwatch Forum would provide a focused method for Valve to identify key issues, and design proper solutions via the best community users.
