I was generally curious on how this recent ban wave affected the HC Ladder Leaderboard. So I ended up taking a few screen shots of the top 200 players placement and experience about 24 hours after the initial ban wave.

After 72 hours post ban wave...

60 Players Experience have not moved an inch.
22 Dead Players (+1 new one)
21 Players have reach LVL 99.

Overall I was pretty shocked to see nearly 1/3 of the top 200 HC players potentially banned. I will be following up on these 60 inactive players experience in the next 3-4 days.

It is a pretty good move from Blizzard to ban so many active players. Sure they will buy the game again.
Botters were not affected and laughing at this shit.

Good thread. Subscribed.

I can confirm that some botters were banned, someone on our discord admitted they were bottling and got banned. He only had 1 client and used it while he was sleeping and during work. He stated he has never used MH.

Thx for doing science

Good stuff, love data collection like this.

Wonder why they keep the banned players on the leaderboard. Most competitions irl that disqualified participants also disqualified them from winning.

They probably don't know how to remove them.

Haha. Think you are right.

I would love that for SC. I think there are more MH users. I mean if you don't know the maps in this game you most likely won't play HC
