You report people for saying homophobic things? Jeez ur the worst, Stay away from the internet if ur that easily offended
If i was working at blizzard HQ and i saw someone report a guy for saying something homophobic i would have good laugh at it.
It takes more then one person reporting for any serious action because of possible abuse of the system.
I was banned for a month for speaking against homophobia. Some of the GMs there are bias and conservative it would seem. If you get downvoted the monkeys there follow in toe. They need to remove the downvote system there. Look how peaceful the WoW forums are compared to when the downvotes were present.

"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation."
Anyone saying faggot or similar are making homophobic remarks period.
"the boundary of the term 'homophobia' is made so elastic that it can stretch around, not just phobias, but every kind of rational fear as well; and not just around every kind of fear, but also around every critical posture or idea that anyone may have about the practice of homosexuality". -wikipedia.
@OP - just keep reporting them, every single time. There has been an influx in bans recently and these toxic trolls seems to be their target.
Welcome to the internet - unfortunately you will have to get over it and develop a thicker skin.
If the problem is a couple of scary words, the reaction/'punishment' should be a couple of scary words. Just call him a faggot as well and you will live stress-free. The real "problem" is that you think faggot is a particularly meaningful word, when someone is just trying to make an inflammatory comment. If we stopped all use of the word faggot, people would still insult you in other ways in a competitive environment. If you'd like to be a "proactive society and stop hating each other" you're going to have to eliminate the human brain. Your own perception of homophobes reflects hate. Making dumb insults isn't mature, but neither is being passive aggressive or blowing things out of proportion. Nobody is objectively or even morally wrong in this scenario; you say they started it but they can easily turn it back on you with how you played or said something else that bothered them. Desensitize yourself or hit that mute button, you won't be the first or last person to be critical of words said to you.
If you call people faggots or cock suckers or anything of that ilk, and you think it's not a homophobic remark, you are delusional. Grow up.
I have nothing against gays/LGBTQ and hope them the best in their lives. I'm for gay marriage and think they should have the exact same rights as the heterosexuals (including right to adopt, join the military, etc). However, getting butthurt over someone calling you a "faggot" in a competitive video game is your own little sensitive snowflake fault. People like you is the reason why Trump is in office right now, you pull so hard to the left that Democrat moderates in the middle like myself recoil to the right.
If shit like this keeps up, we'll be getting another Republican after Trump.

when I see people use the word faggots I just keep thinking they are referencing a British food item

You need to grow a thicker skin if comments online from people hidding behind a pc screen hurt you so much that you not only reported them but made a post in mmochamp aswell (which is an sjw heaven).
