The option appeared after the game\u2019s overnight patch on Nov. 13 and increased the number of matchmaking report categories from six to seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players can find the new option on the post-match scoreboard beside a player\u2019s profile. It uses a robot-head icon and covers scripts that play matches independently or perform actions in place of a human player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2121056100024017126\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>\n            <noscript>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2121056100024017126\" target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\n                    View this tweet on Twitter\n                <\/a>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/blockquote>\n        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n    \n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other report categories cover toxic behavior in text and voice chat, intentional disruption, cheating, smurf accounts and selecting an unsuitable role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valve has not disclosed how it will review reports about automated scripts or which penalties may apply to accounts found to be using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automated scripts can be used to change a player\u2019s behavior score or intentionally lose matches to lower their matchmaking rating, known as MMR. The accounts may then be sold to players seeking matches against less experienced opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More news about ranked matches, along with guides for those
