I got a shadowban and I want to ask why

Activision knows they can't actively fight cheating at the detection level. These providers are too good and yes they get caught every so often, but they'll be back and more bulletproof for a long period of time. So why fight the detection game, when you can fight the user game. Shadowbans are them saying "we can't prove you're cheating... but we're pretty sure you are" and keeping you away from their core playerbase.

Everyone online wants to ***** or guys want to lie like OP, but be realistic, the skill level you'd have to have to get in a repeated loop similar to folks cheating and not be a pro whitelisted player, is next to none. I mean, if it was hitting legits like we all thought at one point, the shadowban lobbies would not be plagued with cheaters, it'd be filled with a mixture of cheaters, sweats and a random player here and there. Not raging andy who snaps to your head.

finally someone with a brain that understands and doesnt just scream "hUr dUr legits get sb too blabla"

I think most understand that and don't *****, they know they're cheating. At least the crowd I am around. It's the standout ones like OP that get highlighted though. Going to a hack forum to plead your innocence on a shadowban is crazy though lol.
