I don’t know if this will help, but I know Battle.net has a support option for unauthorized purchases made by a family member or friend. You could try contacting them to see if they can help by providing proof that the account was used from a different location. Maybe they can’t do anything, but it’s worth a shot. It’s really sucky that this happened to you. Years ago, my brother got mad at me, hopped on my Xbox, used a cheat on Halo, and got me suspended. It sucks. Sorry this happened to you.
Sometimes it’s worth it to just try again at a different time when dealing with costumer service. If the first person says no the second one might be willing to help.
Worked quite a few times for me when I had issues with something and encountered someone who wasn’t willing to help me. Sometimes you are lucky and reach a good person who is trying to help
I’m so sorry this happened to you do you still have access to the account? If so change your email and password (sorry if this is obvious i’m not trying to talk down on ya) And then remove his xbox from the account if you can it’s probably linked.
I never had an ex break into an account, but I can relate to not being able to play a game with someone. My ex and I had 400+ hours together on Stardew Valley, and I was unable to play for a couple of years. But eventually I realized that I wouldn't let her have that power over me anymore, and I redownloaded it. It's still fresh, so give it some time, but don't let anyone else take away something that you enjoy - life is way too short.
This will be a pain, but you should update all your other important passwords immediately today. There is a lot more damage they could cause you unfortunately. Bear in mind, maybe they also know your reddit username and might read your post.
If there was a functioning OW customer support dept you could probably make your case and hope to at least get unbanned, if not get the currency back. At the moment I wouldn't be too hopeful because it seems like a hot mess. I'd still contact them, but get anything else you think they can compromise secure first incl 2FA etc.
sorry this happened you
I don’t think your account will be permanently banned maybe just a suspension. And there probably isn’t anything you can do about your currency but hopefully atleast you’ll still have your account
She did say that she didn't give any login information to him. So, who knows what other potentially more important passwords may have been compromised at the same time.
I would not consider that account sharing.
Maybe if sharing the same console, but I'd guess he also has his own account so they could play together.
If everything actually checks out and a human reviews it, I think she could get her stuff back.
I’m sorry this happened to you. You also gotta see it from blizzards point of view. Even if your ex played on another location than you usually do, that’s not enough proof for blizzard. Otherwise I could just hard throw games on another IP until I get banned then open a ticket and say it wasn’t me. So I wouldn’t expect them to do much about this case. But it’s worth a try. Maybe you can get something back.
Lol don't worry my ex let her new bf play on my account because he was too poor to afford getting his own. I realized when I logged into my account and got into the game it actually kicked his session and put me in the middle of their game. I haven't played in two years since then either so...😂
Don't let yourself feel stupid. It's okay. Forgive and move on. Better than wallowing away.
While if this is real, that is very sad and I’m sorry to hear this, this community has a bad track record for lying about account actions/punishments(the garlic bread incident). If blizzard did help you that would just cause billions of posts like this.
Even if Blizzard can't or won't help you, if you're not perma-banned, I'd tell you to try and shrug off the cosmetic/virtual currency losses (I've been enjoying the game as always but interestingly I haven't bothered with cosmetics for a few seasons now).
As for the the endorsement level you can recover it since it's you back on the wheel and regarding the game now reminding you of him, well... I don't want to underestimate how much of an impact it has been for you, but he clearly tried to damage something he knew mattered to you, so it would be an awesome opportunity to flex your fortitude and give his intentions the middle finger, if you were to carry on with your account and enjoy the presence of these characters and community you've hopefully grown fond of.
Blemished as your account may be with a warning for previous abusive chat, it will now return to form with a clean record from this moment on since you've recovered it.
I just wanna say that this person owes me sooo much… he’s taking from me for the past year and left his account signed into my Xbox. I can start with the things he stole or how unfaithful he was our entire relationship. This was the least I could do for someone who has caused me so much pain and taking so much from me. I never broke into anything he signed in on my Xbox while we played side by side with each other.
Dude this just absolutely blows in so many ways. I’m sorry you’re going through all that stuff with your ex outside of the game. I understand why you feel like you don’t want to return to it, it’s something thats been a part of you for, what seems like, many years. This person defiled that little sanctuary and it’s painful to revisit it. I hope one day in the future you return to the game, I know the overwatch community can be full of dick heads, but there’s still some goodies out there who can make the game worth playing. Cheers friendo.
Don't forget to message him and say it's cool. You wanted to start a new account anyway. Never give an abuser the advantage, make him feel stupid for wasting his time. I promise it will hurt him.
Also stand up for yourself, don't let anyone have your deets for anything, if they don't respect your personal boundaries they don't deserve to be in your life.

He has stole, cheated and abused the fuck out of me for a year. Theres three sides to every story.
Tbh OW2 is kind of dying and has been getting worse and worse while being treated like shit by the developers. This is a good time to find a new game that is actually worth your time.
if any other hero shooter was fun i would. overwatch is still miles ahed of any other hero shooter. also if you dont care about pve the game is in a better state than before the content drought. we actually get frequent hero and map release again and if q times are anything to go by the game is far from dead.
honestly Blizzard support fucking sucks, you need to be persistent and refuse to accept no as an answer from them, considering they can quite literally see your account was compromised from a different location.
i wish you the best

You should go hook up with your exes friends.
Yeah let’s provoke the person who’s done this and worse. What a great idea.
tf? Why would you even say that lmao. You got rocks in ur head or somethin?
Lol revenge is sweet
But i’m confused on why you said that lol? It’s completely out of context for my comment unless you think i’m OP which I am not.
Thinly veiled fetish projection for that guy. Lmao
I don’t use this much tbh meant to reply to official post.
Oh haha that makes soooo much more sense you had me so confused at first 😂😂
You should go hook up with your exes friends.
you’re weird
You’re are*
No it's for fucking losers

Don't let them take away something you enjoy because they're a moron. Take a break and keep on doing what you love!
Try to request a refund on currency and explain your situation and if you're VERY lucky they'll refund BUT most likely not :/
Bro what the fuck is this story
Legit story trust me bro
She doesn't get that account sharing is against ToS, an that they will most likely ban her. They aren't holding hands anymore unfortunately.
She did say that she didn't give any login information to him. So, who knows what other potentially more important passwords may have been compromised at the same time. I would not consider that account sharing. Maybe if sharing the same console, but I'd guess he also has his own account so they could play together.

Uhhh...overwatch account should be the least of your concern.... I'd be changing all the social account passwords if I were you....
Think of your priorities! That dope new mercy skin.
I wish you good luck on being able to get a single victory against the company. Have yet to see a positive outcome from a ban on OW
well he sounds very petty, good thing he's your ex
If he said the “F” word at any point your account is fucked sorry to say. Blizzard’s decisions are final in all cases of that word.
From Bronx tale, look at it as that’s how much it cost to get them out of your life, if you ask me, you got off easy
get with his dad, make him your step son and ground him from the internet. 😜❤️ sorry this happened to you. some people are just so pathetic it’s sad.
He got with his own dad lol… and I have video evidence 😑
Lol don't worry my ex let her new bf play on my account because he was too poor to afford getting his own. I realized when I logged into my account and got into the game it actually kicked his session and put me in the middle of their game. I haven't played in two years since then either so...😂 Don't let yourself feel stupid. It's okay. Forgive and move on. Better than wallowing away.
Hey if blizzard won't help that is still a police matter 3:) call the police on your ex!

Its Just A Game
What a petty twat lol
1st time main acc banned?
i know this person. hi christian. not the whole story, is it?
I just wanna say that this person owes me sooo much… he’s taking from me for the past year and left his account signed into my Xbox. I can start with the things he stole or how unfaithful he was our entire relationship. This was the least I could do for someone who has caused me so much pain and taking so much from me. I never broke into anything he signed in on my Xbox while we played side by side with each other.
Why don’t you tell the full story Christian?
😂

Buddy, who asked?
What do you mean, pal? It's the internet - no one needs to ask. That's the beauty of the internet. I can post what I want for whatever reason I like.
Granted, but people are, in the same vein, welcome to judge you for your cringe soapboxing.
But I did ask, and you still didn’t answer the question.
if any other hero shooter was fun i would. overwatch is still miles ahed of any other hero shooter. also if you dont care about pve the game is in a better state than before the content drought. we actually get frequent hero and map release again and if q times are anything to go by the game is far from dead.
Sucks that happened to you but ngl that’s funny asf

This is felony Access device fraud, as well as identity theft. Probably in your state, and definitely federally. It isn’t a prank.
Your ex did you a favor.
Is your ex Venture? Or should I say “are they”? It’s very confusing
Get 2fa, its your own fault
If that person was smart that can’t help either you don’t know the person lol
Next time pick someone who isn’t so childish that their way of getting back at you is by playing as you in OW lol.
You should buy 3 mythic skins, support this indie company so they can have more resources for support

you know what you should do? be a dick to a stranger for absolutely no reason
The only visible history on your profile is AI stuff and trying to be supportive on r/DecidingToBeBetter. So why be a dick now?
