Smash Apprentice
I've been placed in some kind of low priority queue. I've heard others mention similar experiences, but I would like to share my own. I play Smash4 regularly. I play it competetively, attending local tournies and striving to improve my game by practicing in training mode for hours as well as playing for-glory mode. I didn't realize I was banned right away, I received no notification from nintendo, no message letting me know what happened whatsoever. I simply realzed after about 30 minutes that the reason it was taking 10 minutes to find someone online and the reason I was unable to play in the online tournament mode was because I was in some kind of penalty queue.
Today I called nintendo and asked for assistance regarding my penalty. I explained that I play the game at a competitive level having a for glory winrate around 85% with roughly 6k games played in the 1v1 arena. I never insult people, I almost always say GG, when the opponent plays well, and I only taunt when the other person taunts first or if the person I'm playing against is rude. The response I got from the service person was "I'm sorry, we don't know how long this ban will last and we cant remove it either." So basically nothing is being done or will be done regarding abuse of the report button on for glory, and Nintendo thinks that its ok to reward upset players who spam reports after losing because they are sore losers. I'm sick and tired of being in this penalty queue. From what I've seen many people deserve to be there. People with innapropriate names and people who insult you after a game are here, but I've also encountered a few polite players like myself who simply happen to be very good at this game, but due to how easy it is and how little drawback exists from spamming report, we have been unfairly punished.
TLDR Nintendo's online report system is extremely broken and needs to be readjusted so it is less abusable. There should be a reason for reporting similar to how LOL works. You shouldnt be able to get someone banned because they beat you in an online match, its rediculous.
