I'd like to congratulate Blizzard for finally accomplishing their goal of making a TF2 competitor by creating a live service that feels so abandoned and increasingly riddled with cheaters that the community is speedrunning the stages of grief

[@furi5989]

I've genuinely swapped over because I cant play comp. its ramapnt even in plat. played against a mcree that was hard locking and pocketed by supports. reviewed the vod to make sure, reported him too and I haven't heard anything since. I wont be playing comp until cheaters are addressed

Man its not even overwatch. Its like cheaters started a mass movement together. Literally cheating in val and rainbow 6 siege is at its worst to.

Vulture had a game recently, he made it part of a video. The enemy team had a 4 stack with at least 2 cheaters. They weren't that great mechanically, but getting spinbotted from two directions would be hard for anyone. Eventually his tank got so fed up that he leaves. ...and comes back like 2 mins later HARD LOCKING ONTO EVERYONE.

[@RemedieX]

​@@PezzaHando Smurfing is the main cause for cheaters running rampant. I've made a Smurf just because there's 0 penalty for doing so and it was only 0.99 cents, if you don't have an extra phone number laying around, that is. Its so free, thanks Blizz! Btw I don't use cheats, I only made it to play with my friend before Blizz fixed the wide group. I couldn't even play with them within the same division (GM) lol. They made a Smurf too, had no choice if we wanted to play together. 2 GM's that couldn't play together bc Blizz moment.

[@SBTheDemon]

It’s not just that he’s cheating in top 500, the place all ranked players grind for, it’s the fact that nothing is going to happen to him any time soon in terms of bans or consequences. Ranked at this point has become a scary place with how many cheaters there are. Quick play isn’t even safe lol

[@Noodleman90]

I’m console but my friends are PC, so I play QP whenever they wanna play together. The amount of cheaters we get in QP is insane. Like at least 1 obvious cheater in a 2-3 hour play sesh. In QUICK PLAY. Why would anyone want to cheat in the casual game mode? What could you possibly gain from aimbotting in casuals other than the toxic satisfaction that youre pissing other players off?

[@SilverKnight4970]

​@@Noodleman90Well that's the point. Most People who cheat in Shooters in general are doing it simply for the sake of being an asshole. They enjoy every second that you give them attention for it and let's be honest here these guys will just keep on doing it over and over and over again and feel no ounce of shame for what they do cuz they don't care. I mean these geniuses have servers for themselves on Discord or whatever just like bot holsters for TF2. None of these scumbags care that you want to have a good time all they care about is what they want. Sadly that's what you get when you make a game free to play. You get these wonderful degenerates.

[@AIraps2]

what causes someone to cheat outside of certain parameters? I don't see how it can be fun to jeopardize the 10-15 minute match of a comp game, rather than just trying to find a whole group of people and make a dedicated server for just cheating.. instead of ruining the match for people trying to take time to improve and rank up. Am i wrong for thinking this... thoughts?

This game literally starts, "Ok, a few prediction shots here but as a top 500 player you'd kinda know where everyone wants to stand on Defense." And then for some reason it just kicks in and becomes super, super obvious.

Lower rank has been sounding the alarm about cheaters for a while now. It was the top players that blew it off and said it wasn't that bad. Now that they're playing in your ranks you call it a problem and sounding the alarm? They're still in bronze terrorizing lobbies and crashing games. Just yesterday I had a Widow hardcore cheat. All elims were headshots, would shoot the walls and floor in between team fights, Would stand still at random to obviously adjust their hacks, and so on. Only reason we won was because our Sombra hard focused her knowing full well they were just a distraction before she got a headshot elim on them.

Best time of my life compared to OW despite all its issues being a closed beta and all because every role felt like it could do something. (Not certain characters, some were weak as expected, but every role was capable). And it's not a matter of "people don't know how to play yet." I was facing t500's from OW, and those mechanics and gamesense transfer really well into Rivals, much to my welcomed suprise.

I've had an absolutely harrowing time with CS as after the last time I got cold shouldered by a bot so my patience has run thin for them

[@NeonKarma]

That bit about people being banned in chat is so damn true. Whenever I reported people going full on irl threats or hardcore cheating, even admitting to cheat on chat, they pretty much never got banned. But if they typed "ez"? Feedback screen next day lol. Even reporting someone for typing once, just "ez", the entire match, that was enough for a ban. Even worse is that instead of increasing their penalizations, they made it worse for leavers, not even AFKs blocking up a spot on the team, just leavers, so with the new cheats that crash and restart matches, we can't leave without getting a queue, while cheaters just crash matches over and over until they win. I'm glad I moved on from overwatch.

Also, this many hackers in your biggest streamers games, just makes all the fans of OW not want to fucking play. It's killing their own game. If they target banned every cheater in top streamer games, they'd probably make a significant impact on user activity. I believe it would far outweigh the cost of employing people to watch big streamers and find cheaters.

Is it even possible to cheat on console?

I was trolling him and I could not believe what I was watching, but he was literally shooting the air from his pov and perfect tracking me while invisible. It was not this “coincidence” of, oh hey, I’m just shooting randomly and hit the invisible Sombra, no no no, it was “I can’t see you but I can.” And he was literally chasing me around the map. It was kind of funny, but I then went and watched the replay and he was 100000% wallhacking and aimbotting on projectile as fu*king Junkrat.

I called this as soon as it was going FtP, welcome to the TF2 experience. The longer an FPS goes on, the fewer resources and development it gets. Even if live service. Its a fact of life. The only deterrent to cheaters after about 5 years of paying is an upfront cost.

[@mentarium9741]

and yet the game with the most cheaters plaguing the leaderboards is r6 which has an upfront cost. so there goes that argument

[@00000005547]

That's just false. If anything the opposite. FtP means their income is from cosmetics, therefore unrelated to the amount of people purchasing the game. If the game was paid then income would taper off as less people would purchase the game say 6 years after release, whereas now, people are still buying skins. And don't be a fool, the amount of money that blizzard makes off of skins is absolutely ridiculous. More than enough to fund 10 game studios. The ppl at the top just pocket it all and fire a few employees to add a couple hundred k to their millions of $/year they are pulling in.

Thank you for that Ouija board comment, made my afternoon. And in regards to what you were saying about having clear evidence when there's a cheater in a streamers game/lobby. Timthetatman is a grand example. He had Warzone 1 devs watching his (and other streamers) streams and the cheaters would get banned LIVE. You are right on the money, if you have hard evidence of them cheating on a high profile streamers game. They should get the banhammer without hesitation. It's the same as committing a crime in front of a security camera or live sports event. The streamer is doing the GAME a favor, by playing it and getting the game attention.

It's the same at every level and in QP in at least every other game I play, and it's not like the old days when cheaters would worry and try and hide it if they popped off to much, nowadays they just flame you calling you trash while hard locking on to everything in their FOV because they know nothing will happen. It also seems Blizzard doesn't give a fuck, when I reported cheaters before a few days later I would get the "Thank you for your report message", I haven't had one of those for quite a while and my reports have gone up a lot.

[@GameBooAdvancePlus]

I like the progression of this one trying to be careful and (poorly) being subtle with micro aimbots for miliseconds, to rage building up and up until they just go soldier and blatantly track heads and snap targets through walls sometimes almost 180 degrees

The cheatering reminded me of a match I had a while ago where my Moira was pissed off and refused to heal me about halfway through the first fight (when he died) because I was playing ball. He convinced the other support to stop healing me, said on the mic that he avoided me as a teammate (cool, I guess I don't have to avoid him then) and said he was reporting me "for being an asshole." Then during the potg he accused the enemy Ashe of aimbotting when they obviously weren't. Dude was unhinged Oh, he also informed me at the end of the first round that "Ball was designed when there were two tanks, dumbass." So the only viable tanks are Ramattra, Mauga, and Junkerqueen, and everyone who beats you is aimbotting. There's so much cheating in Overwatch that stupid people who think they're a genius are getting super paranoid about it.

Its not even the cheaters that sre the issue, its the players with massive egos and who only care about WINNING that are the issue. Notice how through the WHOLE video he is getring pocketed by the supports when at this point in the stream Bastionmain said "HEY, your Hanzo is HARD locking, and the Ana player replied with "Idc, lol." And then proceeds to help him, same with the lifeweaver. If you REALLY wanna make an impact, help ths GM-Top 500 players realize that blizzard isnt going to do anything, and end up banning you too, if you continue to play with cheaters and not stopping the game to draw/waste the cheaters time. As a GM3-GM2 tank, ive ran into 5 cheaters across 26 games. We only drew once, when the cheater was on the enemy twan. Other times when the cheater was on my team i just started throwing once I realized because im gokd enough to get the SR back...plus its not fun being carried by someone who has to cheat to win 😂

[@erTiii84]

They could do so much more against cheaters. Like WZ did, at least when I was playing it: set a flag on the cheater in the database and let them do literally 1 DPS. So they can click heads for 200 seconds on a 200 HP target to get the elimination. That would be so much more fun than just banning them in a wave every couple of months. And the flag turns into a HW ID ban after a couple of days.

[@hypershadic661]

I'm starting this by saying I'm not good at this game, never was. I loved playing it, but FPS games were always far from my forte. My main problem was always my aim. I can NOT aim, at all, on PC. I remember playing on PS5 with a friend for shits and giggles, where, using a controller, I had controller aim assist, and I felt REALLY bad. Was I hitting every single shot? No. But I was definitely more accurate than I was on PC. How people can sit there and use spin bots and what not, hit every single shot, and not feel even a tiny amount of remorse for the people they're playing against, is beyond me. Even taking the whole "OW2 has no anti cheat" thing out of the question, taking the potential of a ban out of a question. How do these people not feel bad for what they're doing?

[@Reineerus_The_Rat]

1. Don't feel bad for controller aim assist, it's a borderline requirement to hit anything not standing still due to lack of micro adjustments and smooth adjustments that you just can't get with a stick. 2. These people don't care about the game, the other players within the game, or even thier own experience. It's a numbers game, they want to WIN and nothing else, they want to brag they are in top 500. They don't feel bad because they genuinely do not care about anything other than a scoreboard placement.

2 days ago my friends and I made the foolish mistake we could have fun in ow, and out of 10 consecutive games, 6 had hackers. One particular hacker we came across twice in the span of an hour and a half, and he was rage hacking as soldier just like this guy. He acted coy and smack talked when we called him out for it. The guy got potg both times where his aim was just like this but everyone in his team turned a blind eye each time both throughout the match and during potg recap.

[@Ugo415]

Wow, this is so sad to see. I abandoned overwatch 2 at launch since they required non prepaid phone numbers, and I ain’t dealing with that shit. The reason for that was to keep cheaters off of the game, and now seeing that cheaters are just a regular thing now makes my blood boil. Activision Blizzard is absolutely stupid.

[@imclueless9875]

what is crazy to me is that these cheaters have to literally climb all the way to high GM games and that whole time the anti cheat DOESNT pick them up and remove them and you know that along that way they have been reported so many times and still dont get banned.

[@rickflorida3838]

Just want to say I really enjoyed your subnautica stream. I was wondering if you’d ever play blasphemous 1 and 2?

[@Ocyla]

There was even a cheater clip recently posted on Reddit where it was so fing obvious but only a few peopel were like "cheat much?" it's wild. Like 180 snap headshot kill mostly through a column through a doorway.

[@brandoncole5533]

I love how you can tell he progressively turns up the aimbot

[@CrowMaiden]

cheating's gotten ridiculous. asked someone how they learned to snap their mouse to people earlier and got told 'get good freak' by their spectating buddy. can't wait until they introduce anti-cheat in OW3! /jk also every person I've seen talk about the state of the game say 'supports are fine' regarding balance and it drives me up the goddamn wall every time. it's so nice to hear someone say 'actually, the only people having fun are DPS and Roadhogs.' Blizzard won't throw us a life-ring, but it's nice that someone's finally noticed we're drowning. it's just refreshing to be united with tank players again under the banner of 'why do the devs hate us?'. (tho I'm convinced low rank Roadhogs aren't having fun; they're mad every game.)

[@RawrMeowmix23]

It's the fact that none of the top 500 players drew. Like, it was very much possible, but they kept healing the hacker and ensuring he was alive. Why? A draw would've been easy.

[@jinxysaberk]

you’re so right. I mained both tank and support since OW1 cuz my mechanics have never been at an extremely high level so i don’t want to play DPS and have no impact. However in the newest season of overwatch instead of playing the characters i used to find extremely fun i find myself drawn to the ones that make me feel able to have a large impact. Recently i started playing sombra and i hate her sm when i play against her she frustrates me so much i can’t turn my brain off in QP against her but playing her? yeah sorry having a blast

[@calebtemples9568]

thanks for all the vids, always makes me happier

[@k0dachr0me]

sometimes when you see the cheater’s “real aim” its not actually their real aim. since they know they have aimbot, they dont actually really try to shoot at the enemy, they just put their crosshair within the FOV of the aimbot and let the bot do the rest, which can make them look awful. am i sticking up for them? absolutely not, theyre still extremely terrible players, but this is probably why you see them aim the way they do

[@Tatsu4242]

Don’t forget people, DDOSing, even if in a game, is *ILLEGAL* Coming with a 10 year prison sentence and $500,000 fine.

[@rudeimouto3034]

Meanwhile my girlfriend got permabanned and is getting responses from support that she got banned for cheating. All she does is play mercy with me beaming whole game... Also after they claim she was banned for cheating, they suggest she makes a new account to continue playing, which from their POV means they're encouraging cheaters to make new accounts instead of hardware banning. Insane company.

[@jkcv_ncrew]

A friend of mine got banned for saying some cuss words in wispers. Yet his buddies say slurs and get nothing

[@apocalypseap]

Let me clear something up here. Champ 1 is likely the equivalent of getting 4900 SR, which was basically impossible in OW1 and even more-so in OW2.

[@Mira-yo4sh]

i play in high plat-low diamond lobbies. the amount of cheaters i have in my games is actually ridiculous like i stopped calling people out and checking VODs. now i push through the games like normal and hope that the cheater is ass.

[@a11ergex6]

@Flats - not sure if you ever gonna read this but APEX, is currently having the exact same massive issue right now its out of control on Ranked Apex - its so bad that the "anti cheat devs - hideouts" is sitting watching the streamers and monitoring the games live to ban/remove the current cheaters in the match its so bad that EA "obviously" hasnt mentioned anything at all. and even pro players from ALGS are starting to say this is the lowest APEX has ever been Hopefully you make a video for both games. would be kwl yeah you also get banned if you say a slur or just type some frustration in your game - but the cheaters are rampant (in apex with regards to it)

[@mentarium9741]

its for all the known shooters really. idk what happened that led to such a massive rise in cheaters. a damn shame really

[@zambsDGOW]

I played a faceit tournament with my friends recently and did well vs a tier 2 team, had a lot of fun. for a moment i thought about trying ranked for t500 again and then i see this. didnt realize it got this bad since i quit

[@ineedpineapples]

I genuinely think part of the reason why so many cheaters have been popping up since the start of ow2 is because of steam. So many people on steam cheat, all of Valve's PvP games, (DoTA, Cs, Tf2) have INSANE cheater problems, and they saw Overwatch coming to steam and decided to move over. Whether it's easier to actually cheat on steam or not, it's about the culture of cheating that Valve has allowed to thrive on their platform. I called the surge in cheaters when they announced they were coming to steam, and hey low and behold guess what happened? Maybe it would have happened either way, but it's still a huge problem that both Blizzard and Valve need to do something about

[@ivisitthezoo]

Cheater videos always makes me wish that you could read that match chat.

[@lulumusterlulu2505]

The sad thing is that cheaters have no consequences. I am an anti toxic person and was almost banned because I said the a word to an extremely toxic duo once. Quote: Don't be an a... and flame your team. That almost cost me my account... And I often have the feeling that I'm playing against or with cheaters, but I don't dare report them or say anything because I want to keep my account. (I heard that false reports can also get you banned, is that true?) (I play PC, I often play with friends who play on consoles, which makes it even harder to recognize cheaters because you can no longer tell which platform they are on use and or whether you cheat or use input devices for mouse and keyboard on console) What should I do, nothing? I love OW, but I've had enough...

[@angelcake7077]

The way the supps are peeling so hard for this guy hurts my soul as a supp main 😭

[@EmperorFeatherFlight]

Was grinding an alt to gm5 the other day and had like 15 cheaters in 20 games (it was on a Wednesday)

[@starnyx4747]

My friend witnessed a Widow wall-hacking in our open queue comp, and miss every single one of her shots even with that

[@animegx45]

You know, cheaters and devs used to be like an arms race. The cheaters get good hacks, the devs learn how to fight em, the cheaters make more subtle hacks to avoid getting caught, devs adapt to that and the cycle continues. Now the cheaters just do whatever because the devs pulled out on the arms race.

[@SYONiQ]

Started playing OW because of the sheer amount of cheaters in Apex Ranked. Depressing this community is experiencing the same exact issue. Worst it's ever been in both games.

[@metroid5003]

as you already said flats... the last ban wave was with the rework of competitive and the sr reset in season 9.... now the game is in season 11 and the game still has some of the rage hackers that got reported in season 9 mid to end season 10.... we even had some matches where the entire enemy team was made out of rage hackers.... gladly the game anti cheat came back from vaccation in that game and canceled it midgame the whole enemy team was gone and we got the message cheater got detected in game no sr was lost and game ended. but still it get's out of hand we rly need a better anti cheat system like cod now has :/ the reason why i stopped playing ranked is bcz of to many rage hackers taking full fun out of the game and people who wants to get that free win and just pocket them... even when called out

[@Bananagxns]

My brother constantly uses his alt account to play competitive with his friends because he says, quote, "They couldn't handle harder lobbies." No, dude, YOU can't handle harder lobbies. That's why you smurf all the time. I don't think he even has his placements on his actual main. My brother underestimates his friends, overestimates himself, and he wonders why we loose.

[@mrkisukes]

I run into so many smurfs in my games it just stops being fun. Had this one game where a smurf was hard carrying the opposing team, kick our ass game 1 and 2, but they C9'd game 2 so we actually won that round. But the smurf must've thought they won and quickly exited the game only for us to reverse body the other team.

[@jamespullin5347]

can we stop saying "dps players" are having fun cause its genuinely only hitscan players and the other few dps that get into high tier when you play them well like pharah and echo

[@codyoakes2272]

There were 4 different DPS characters in this game. I've seen so much variety in each character. The game is healthy in terms of character balance except for mauga ofc

This season was the first one I wanted to complete the full battlepass and get all the title cards. Had to stop because the number of cheaters on enemy team and my team just made it so unfun to play. RIP to Angel of Vengeance I will never have it. Just not worth the pain.

Going f2p was the worst decision they maybe have ever made, it opened the door for a crazy amount of hackers and cheaters, it’s gotten to the point that the game is unplayable

A started playing overwatch 2 for the first time like 7 months ago, and have 400 ish hours now, and have been loving the game. And as I climb through the ranks I am slowly starting to actually see how shit the situation for us players is, and It's just like "damn."

[@KawaiiKissable]

you know, as a support main who has tried branching out to DPS, i feel so much more confident in my abilities now. This is the only fps i play and i don't take it super serious, so I'm just a little mid-gold player....but at least I know how to aim proper and do tend to get my shots right without relying on cheats

[@mattvoelker241]

I'm 30 seconds in and laughing because the cheater got a headshot with the sonar arrow so it didn't do anything. I had no idea that was how they worked.
