I hate people like this so much, once you get good at something, you can tell if someone cheating or not. Even in irl sport, people will know if someone using drug or not. In the eyes of normal person we wont able to tell. If one day Usain Bolt run 5% faster than what he normally run, people will get suspicious.

[@DoomedFriend]

Keep in mind, evading a ban is bannable. If your original account was banned for cheating and you make a new account that can be banned simply for evading the ban

[@bull_ow]

I've been really curious about this, because there are a lot of people who play on alt accounts and are really toxic because they do not care if their alt account gets banned. It would make sense that playing on an alt account and getting banned should also mean you should not be able to play on your main account, but I'm not positive Blizz see's it that way.

[@ferchsakura]

@@bull_ow They shouldn't, sometimes it is hard to check on other accounts when people use them. I am not sure exactly how Blizzard takes care of it, but if they are using VPN it will be harder for them to see the right IP. So you can get away with using ult accounts easily, but you can get banned if reported.

[@idk.man_]

Tbh it is not true. Some years ago I got banned for trash talking way too much. Alright didn’t contested cuz I was wrong etc, but it was just around the time private profile was implemented on the game and for that reason i couldn’t even open my old account’s profile using another one to see my old status. So I opened a ticket explaining it to blizzard using ANOTHER account. If evading a ban were really bannable I’d be banned the moment I said I was playing in a Smurf account.

Sometimes it goes the exact other way: hackers (the good ones with some skill) have PERFECT movement because they do that part themselves, but then magically without trying get perfect shots along the way. You can tell because they don't do any of the things you need to do to prep and take a shot: they are just in pure escape mode (and doing it perfectly at full speed) and the shots magically take themselves as they do. That's actually how I usually spot most cheaters.

No idea why the first person to reply to you is comparing it to asking for heals through 4 walls either. There is literally nothing separating the Zen and the Widow. And the fact Widow had to ask multiple times and get incredibly close to the Zen shows it's just bad play by the supports.

[@3DRMoretto]

There is also one more thing to note about this. The shot on Cassidy right after rez, you can see he the aim follows his chest and then goes to the head. That's because the aim assist is probably going to the hitbox of id 0 first to detect the target, the chest is the hitbox 0. Marblr made a video about Cassidy's Deadeye misses and he mentions about the hitbox of id 0. Some cheats tend to use in game mechanics (for instance of some found on bots) to make it more difficult to be detected.

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

For future reference: The trigger bot is basically a self-toggling aimbot. You ballpark the shot with your crosshair, and when you pull the trigger it fills in the rest. That's the major thing that makes it difficult to tell whether or not one is being used.

​@@bazzfromthebackground3696 No, a trigger bot is an automatic firing bot. I.e you put your crosshair over them and it immediately fires, which means for a hitscan this guy would of never missed a shot at all because it just wouldn't fire unless he was guaranteed to hit it. What you're talking about is just an aimbot.

[@scotttimbrell8632]

Game Awareness is how a top500 player can predict frame perfect shots. Have you never done it? I have, and I'm not cheating, genjis blade for example has a sound, Rez has a change in colour, both equally timed and muscle memory will allow you to time these shots. Also trigger bot triggering on a frame perfect genji but he continued to shoot a deflecting genji? So he's just toggling the triggerbot constantly? What's the point, just keep it on and not aim at the genji at that point. Also doesn't explain a lot of his shots just not firing. A trigger bot on widow is near enough pointless due to the fact it needs to charge up, where the trigger bot would automatically fire a shot despite the charge time, unless there's a specific bot for widow that takes that into account?

It is just hackaccusation at anything sus. It was pretty much 10 minutes of Flats not distinguishing between something a really good widow could do and what passes the realm of reasonable. Any hackaccusation part is meaningless when no other parts are commented on other than vague "he never misses" and reactions to really good shots. Not to mention, it isn't even convincing that the guy got banned was cheating. Plenty of times we've seen streamers from other games get people banned by calling them out for cheating.

So, at 7:37 Widow supposedly spots Ashe, flicks over, and gets a headshot. That's an insane shot to make, but also: Ashe was visible (at least 1 pixel), for under half a second. The best reaction time ever recorded was 0.12 seconds (apparently), and the average person has a reaction time of 0.2-0.3 seconds. So, this shot could be legitimate, provided the Widow was able to recognise Ashe from the first frame a single pixel of her model was on screen. Or, he's cheating and not the single most observant person in the world. Of course, all this detective work is made redundant by the fact the cheater gets banned later, but it's still important to learn how to spot cheaters. This one shot was bs, and so I took the time to break down exactly how it was bs.

[@sorcererofsalt5786]

Reaction time has nothing to do with spotting that ashe, after seeing the few frames where the ashe was visible his brain went back and processed he saw her, after realizing this he quickly goes for a re peek. The only single thing he would be paying attention to while he was looking there would be where the ashe was through that tiny sight line. Overall, I believe that this shot on its own is doable, but the rest of the game proves the player is cheating in multiple instances.

[@gregoryb6494]

when trying hit shots on thin pixel angles like that, you never want to actually rely on your reaction times. You should prime yourself to be shooting at literally anything that is not the expected geometry and skip the step of recognition entirely. Thats how you hit insanely fast shots as widow - preaim the angle, then shoot the second you are out on it. If you made a good read on the position, you will hit a shot that seems faster than possible. The downside of doing that is you need to make a really good read or get a callout that there is someone there and your crosshair placement needs to be perfect so you can shoot before the other person's reaction time kicks in. Im M2 and can pull off a shot of that calibre maybe once a week... Possible, but hard and risky (since you give away your positioning which can be deadly in a sniper duel). The thing here is that he has walls so he knows his read and crosshair placement are perfect, so the risk and skill of taking a prefire shot like this are both completely out the window. If that shot was the only sus thing he did all game, I wouldnt call cheats. There were just a dozen other things that are also pointing to him having walls. Making one read like this in a game happens, but nobody has 10 moments like this a game except cheaters

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

​@@gregoryb6494 Love this breakdown.

[@scotttimbrell8632]

Yeah great breakdown... except you missed critical thinking skills to realise that seeing the Ashe wasn't the reason why he reacted, if he reacted that fast then he wouldn't of changed direction, he saw the shot (at least I did, dunno if your smooth brain did) heard the shot (which is distinctly Ashes) and then contested that shot (which is easier to line up between 2 door posts than in the open, for obvious reasons) so in no way is an insane shot for a top500 widow main to hit.

There are legit widow makers who are better than this guy who don't get reported for cheating. This video in no way screams cheating and I can bet that even you have had better games than this top500 widow main who misses a lot of his shots, messed up a bunch of grapples and hit 1-2 "insane" shots over the course of the game. He knew the ashe was there because she shot at him, he crouched which is why it looked weird. The hanzo clip was a grapple mistake where he hit the floor and stopped instead of flying to the window which is clearly what you want to do and just ended up looking at the wall which happened to have a hanzo, and then following his loud ass slippers up the wall. Like these things are easily explained normally and if they are then it's more likely to assume he's not cheating and mass reporting (which most likely happened due to KarQ and Flats being unfair to a lot of the gameplay in this video could lead to) will more than likely get this guy autobanned. People get falsely banned all the time and assuming the anti-cheat system is flawless is stupid.

[@Sundagar]

that Hanzo moment at 9:12 seemed the most suspicious to me. He never saw him wallclimb up there and he aimed through the wall, then even shot his widow mine and pinged that hanzo was inc from the side.

This is also what gives away a lot of cheaters in CS:GO. Flagging outlines through walls, being overly cautious of certain danger zones even though there's no possible way for you to know if a threat is covering it or not (e.g. when Widow runs away from Hanzo flanking, a little too convenient timing and "perfect" game sense if you ask me), and peeking at angles that most people have no business looking through and getting miraculous picks... and not just the one-off "weird angle", but *all of them*. But, absolutely one of the *biggest giveaways* is that cheaters have this weird overconfidence when it comes to feeling safe from particular angles, as if they know nobody can swing around a given corner when they are looking off in a different direction... because nobody is really there and they know it. To most people, they will be inattentive or forget that someone can swing around and they get punished, but it's like these cheaters can never be flanked, can never be caught off guard, can never be caught looking the wrong way, etc.

Well, Blizzard analyzed it and unbanned him, so not a cheater. Flats made a fool of himself. Case closed.

@@rogercouto9826 "Flats made a fool of himself" by rationally stating his case, looking through the footage, and coming to the conclusion that dude was sus, and let Blizzard figure it out? Sure...Yeah, you know, we should definitely shame people for coming to their own conclusions. Definitely.

[@Wrennvy]

Not trying to defend someone who was banned for cheating, but when he scoped in on Hanzo through the wall, I think he wanted to pre-scope the door but fucked up his grapple. Even if he was walling and knew the Hanzo was there at that point, it wouldn't make sense to scope in on a wall regardless... Not like you can shoot the guy. Taking that as a smoking gun seems strange when it falls apart if you think about it. I would definitely believe he was trigger-botting on head hitboxes, though. I think the trigger-bot is most evident at 12:15 where he's trying to get it to trigger on the McCree, but can't get it to pass through his head, so he gives up and goes for a regular shot, whiffing terribly.

[@Magalo81]

This is classic usage of a foot pedal, and in my opinion, it looks like he's also using walls, but he is 100% using a foot pedal for ambot.

What gives me satisfaction in situations like this is the fact that I know that these hackers must have absolutely miserable lives if this gives them satisfaction. Their morals and what gives them satisfaction is so messed up

[@PrancingGoldfish]

I don't know, part of me feels like they aren't all just miserable shitbags, some might just wanna fuck around for the laughs

2:02 there is a stutter upwards where his client stops aiming off of the horse in order to aim at the genji. It is a movement impossible on mice unless you have the dpi of a Galapagos tortise

[@anon420anon]

The most hilarious part about this is that the person is using a walls cheat with a character that has wall hacks as an ultimate 🤣🤣🤣

[@ratioed1438]

Just goes to show how subtle cheats have become. If a random person walked up to me and asked if that person was cheating. I'd most likely say no. It's really hard to tell. Regardless, i'm glad the devs responded.

[@wlgs.gehrman]

at 10:29, i think he expected his grapple to take him all the way up to the window and aim for height. Remember hes not aiming at the hanzo directly, hes aiming at the wall that he can peak from

[@SpeedCuber2016]

You also gotta think, he was able to tag the enemy team THROUGH the walls. There is no way you would be able to do that without wall hacks

[@jawbreakerx1490]

Its insane how advanced overwatch and other fps game's cheats are rn, like walling and triggerbotting are especially undetectable because they aren't blatant, and obviously since most of the fps community is ignorant when it comes to cheats, they often deny the cheater problem in games like Overwatch or Valorant even though its bigger than you think

[@wipshorts1215]

Triggerbot is super blatant to a skilled player eyes. I can very comfortably say with 99.98% confidence there was no triggerbot here. That confidence has grown to 100% after he's been unbanned, and has a handcam showing he's clicking the mouse. I agree with you though, we do need more education into understanding what cheats are in the community

[@wipshorts1215]

@@jawbreakerx1490 I think you're misunderstanding me. He's been unbanned. Blizzard unbanned him about 2 hours ago. There aren't any hand cams for this vod, however he's since setup a monitor+hand cam stream, and continued to play very proficiently, of equal skill to what we see in this clip.

[@wipshorts1215]

@@jawbreakerx1490 Also I don't deny there's a cheating issue in overwatch. And I can't confirm or deny if this guy is cheating even after this unban. However what i can say is every single point Flats and KarQ made against him in this video was bullshit.

[@krtr]

I'm not sure how you were made aware of that last clip of him getting his second ban live, but I clipped it the second it happened and spread it a bit in Super's chat after the guy cheated on Super's team. Laughing my ass off he got put on full blast here LMAO

[@shooshiwhooshi8736]

no it wasnt lmfao i can track like that too - am i cheating aswell then? if you actually think that was some 'insane tracking', then i feel sorry for you when you see how good korean players are at aiming

it was so obvious he had walls that hanzo part was like nah bro

[@Th3irdEye]

At 10:30 they definitely meant "flicking to the window" not "flicking to the widow" and just had a typo. There wasn't even a widow on the other team. They obviously meant window. He was trying to grapple up to the window and flick to the left. But of course they then tracked the Hanzo the entire time they were walking down the hallway through the wall and tried to take a shot at him from the other window so you were both right I guess.

[@odysseyfire2220]

That camera view on his stream def was weird to see. If he is not cheating (we all know he was), he should have a mouse cam like Kenzo.

[@Denamic]

There's many ways to obfuscate cheating nowadays. You can have a secondary fire buttons that snaps to your target and fires when you push it, allowing you to mix in legitimate shots. There's also automated scripts that fire when you manually move your mouse to their heads, making it look like you just timed it yourself while having 100% legitimate mouse movements. And there's also smooth auto-aim that nudges your aim to heads, making it more likely you'll hit headshots while making it looks like you're just good at tracking.

[@Ellinov]

The shot on the Ashe through a 2 pixel wide gap without sights or someone spotting is in itself enough.
