I got a false permanent ban as well. Despite the fact that cheating is damn near impossible on consoles, and the fact that I worked way too long to get to an absolutely mediocre rank (gold 1) on ranked play, and the fact that I had never even had a warning or complaint for any behavior whatsoever, they permanently banned me with no explanation.

Unlike the blogpost, I just decided I would just never spend any money on an Activision product ever again. It's what everybody should do.

Unfortunately, aim assist devices for consoles are very widespread now and a big problem for competitive gaming. .

>>I had never even had a warning or complaint for any behavior whatsoever

That's the gold standard in the industry though, you don't warn(suspected) cheaters to not give them opportunity to adjust their tactics. Sorry you got caught by this unfairly.
