Punishing people at this juncture who have received abuse without checks and balances for a year is sorta not going to fix the problem. It's just going to ruin the entire experience even more and provide further validation to the originators. What they really should do is just action accounts that have had the longest history of reported issues. I'm sure I've been reported tons in the last two seasons, but likely never before that. That's because I try and try and try to be positive, keep playing well, and eventually I snap and just don't care.
I don't sit in spawn with torb and do nothing, but let me tell you that if I get banned for being reported for 'griefing' because I played Hanzo or Widow I will probably demand a refund back for the game.
