xQc gets Overwatch account suspended, says he\u2019s done with Overwatch Popular live streamer and former professional Overwatch player Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has said that he is \u201ckind of done\u201d with the game after having his account suspended again. Previously given a 15 day ban from Overwatch in August 2018, shortly before he played for Canada at the Overwatch World Cup, xQc has once again had his account suspended this time for 24 days. Last time, it was for a report of abusive chat, which xQc played down as \u201cbanter\u201d \u2013 on this occasion the reason for his ban is unclear, but it is rumored to be similar to his ban for toxicity previously. After discovering he had been suspended, xQc says that he didn\u2019t even receive a warning, which is what usually happens when you are banned for toxic behavior. \u201cNormally they give you a warning, if you talk shit too much and it says like \u2018you\u2019ve been reported a lot for talking shit\u2019 and then you get banned. I didn\u2019t get warned, but let\u2019s be real, we\u2019ve been pretty toxic about the game.\u201d After letting the news sink in, xQc weighed up whether he would come back and continue to play Overwatch as his main game after his suspension is up. \u201cI don\u2019t think I want to be a part of it anymore and give it all my energy and all my passion for it.\u201d He says, closing \u201cI think I\u2019m kind of done with it. I think I\u2019m kind of done.\u201d As for what he will play and stream instead, xQc says he will likely move into variety streaming full time, where he streams any type of game, especially new releases. Many other former professional players in a particular game have taken the same route, and many of the most popular streamers on Twitch are variety streamers, including big names such as \u2018LIRIK\u2019 and \u2018shroud\u2019. Despite his roots and background in Overwatch, much of xQc\u2019s fan base watches the streamer for his own personality, rather than the game specifically he is playing, so his popularity isn\u2019t likely to diminish even he moves on from Overwatch permanently. It is another example of disciplinary action taken against xQc by Blizzard, after his multiple in-game bans and his suspension from the Overwatch League, which ultimately led to him being release by the Dallas Fuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
