Trolls got you down in Heroes of the Storm? Report ’em! Blizzard has published a blog post detailing its reporting options and as well as a silence penalty that takes effect when a player is reported multiple times and is subsequently investigated.
The first silence penalty lasts 24 hours, but frankly it’s only semi-silenced, since you can still use party chat and whispers as well as create/suggest/request to join parties and send/receive friend invites.
Blizzard says that you shouldn’t worry about being reported for non-participation if you play Abathur, nor should you worry about being reported for feeding if you use Murky. “We’ve taken heroes with unique mechanics into account, and will take action accordingly,” the company says.
