I want an explanation as to wtf Kratos is and how someone was using him...
a hero that wont stay dead. offers no bounty. and is extremely powerful. Wtf developers

Wait what? Do you have a replay?

yes. i should be able to get it. only a few games ago.

Attactched. Check red out. Kratos. thing is crazy.
its out right off the bat.
luckily the guy who had it was TERRIBLE .

Okay, we have determined that this guy is a hacker, and also that this is not the real "Marine Arena US" map. If you look closely, the hacker's map is "Marine Arena US." I will make an announcement and try to contact blizzard - but for now, just avoid this guy and his fake map.

Also, thanks for reporting, SMW!

Ahhh i didn't even consider that.
Nice find.
It's not hacking if he made his own map is it?
He just duped us fair and square?...

I checked his match history.
Looks like he does this a lot. he plays hero attack.
but its hero attack, with a comma on the end. i hope they ban this asshole.

Please follow these actions to help remove his maps and possibly get him banned:

Looks like he quit after blizzard took his map down. It seems his hero attack maps vanished too.

Such wasted talent. Seems to me he could have been a huge asset to marine arena if he used his wits and skills proactively to contribute to MA. It's a shame.

I would feel sorry if he didn't try to blame us for everything.

When asked in game how he got the Kratos, he said we (the devs) gave it to him - clearly something that we would never do and makes us look bad to the playerbase.

He also complained to Blizzard about everything, including our donation system, ban system, and even triggers that were implemented to help the community or test for development purposes.

And in his eyes, we're still the bad guys here somehow. So as far as I'm concerned, he deserves to lose all of "his" (stolen) maps and accounts.

That being said, I would never recommend someone like him for the dev team - the technical skills can be learned by anyone, but the personality, composure, and professionalism can't.

Thank you Akash and JOSIN for your quick action on this. The situation was handled very impressively. Good job both of you

I’m glad Blizzard acted quickly.
I was afraid it may have gone on for an extended time.

A big thanks to SMW for calling attention to the issue

^ Even the animations look spot on

no sympathy or regret he got booted and quit. Cheaters will always blame someone else for their actions and perpetually suck at life.. f-him

The more he complains the more satisfying it is.
Thanks so much devs for getting on this so quickly and delivering justice. Feels awesome.
You guys are badass.
