Banned by Overwatch without playing competitive

Hi,
Recently I have made 2 new accounts in the last week. I cheated on them for a bit but after only 1 day they were both "convicted by overwatch" without playing a single competitive match. I played a few casual matches on both, Anyone know whats up?

K, its just that it seemed like the overwatch was instantaneous

i highly suspect valve are manually banning players who get too many reports in DZ/casual when they cheat... similar thing has happened to me without playing any MM i got my account which i was playing DZ only banned :/

i think it worth

I also got a banned too :sss

Impossible. Overwatch only exists in competitive / wingman.

You probably got Untrusted or VAC banned.

this isn't 100% true. I'm talking about my experiences, same happened to me. I didn't play mm/ wingman and I get OW ban on my profile which was in a few hours or day changed to VAC.

If you get too many reports in a month for example, it is possible that you get picked out.
No Competitive / Wingman is necessary for this. And well. Everything else is unknown yet.
It could be possible that Valve got methods to ban people for cheating of which we don't even know.

This is odd, Shouldn't happen

i got ow ban for bug in game that valve didnt fix, and they still didnt remove the ban.

Overwatch ban will convert into a VAC ban as it happened to me before.
