Can I get banned for being reported to be a hacker when I wasn't hacking :( ?
Dear Community,
I have just finished a Deathslinger match that started off badly.
I was chasing a Meg but when I hit her, she didnt get injured and stopped moving near the killer shack. I hit her a second time and she was still frozen and uninjured. I noticed a little red speed meter icon at the top left of my screen. I'm guessing it means I have connection issues ?
I was connected to the wrong network. I switched it back to my normal network. I went back to the game, the icon disappeared and meg fell on the ground like I had downed her (game registered my previous hits later ??).
I hooked her and for the rest of the match her team was altruistic and hook bombed themselves (so the rest of the game was pretty chill).
In the end game chat I got accused of being a hacker. I'm guessing the meg was accusing me ? I don't know if she reported me but I'm worried that if she perceived me as a hacker she might have reported me :(
Can this affect my game ?
Thank you for your upcoming help :,)

number 1 question why/how were you on the wrong network? number 2 question how did you change from the first connection and stay in the game without DC? also was you using a VPN? if so why? futher more if you did nothing wrong then you wont get banned. you wont get banned off just peoples say so the need video/audio evidence, or people would just be getting banned for false reporting all day

You can get reported for everything, but it doesnt mean that they'll punish/ban you for this.
As long as hit detection is killer sided, killers are going to have an advantage to the extend of actual "cheating". In your case I'd say that its not intentional and therefor wont be punished. If you go around, spot a survivor, switch to the bad network and use it to gain an advantage, thats a different story.

You won't be banned for anything unless the Support team are given some pretty compelling evidence against you. They don't ban someone just because someone else reported them, even if dozens of other people reported them, if there's no evidence. If you weren't hacking, Meg obviously won't be able to gather any proof that you were, so you should be totally fine.

No, if you haven't hacked anything in the game or whatsoever, you will be fine. It's a case by case basis, so if you didn't cheat, you have nothing to worry about.

If you did nothing wrong, you shouldn't be at risk. However, the people who report you might be if she was lying with malicious intent.
