I Spectated A Cheater Who Controlled The ENTIRE TEAM In Overwatch 2

I've never seen one guy sit on five gaming chairs all at once before.

that happend to me like couple days ago xdd kings row aswell

[@Blue-2-u]

i had this exact thing happen to me too on kingsrow! if it was EU servers chance we were in the same one or something lmao

[@Swpht]

Back in OW1 I ran into a cheater who was playing on DPS but i guess had programmed other bots to be with him. He had a rein, lucio, and mercy attached to him permanently. Lucio always speed, mercy blue beam, rein shielding. Was funny as hell to watch back

[@freazeezy]

Theory, they just wanted to form Voltron

[@jotarokujo3603]

They succeeded. They formed the most powerful mecha Overwatch has ever seen.

[@KevinSmile]

Everyone on the bot team with the exception of InkyCrane was named after some type of fantasy creature. Lich, Wizard, Satyr, Ghost. For this reason I presume that InkyCrane is the head.

[@CrowMaiden]

it's either Inky or ghost. they died together a lot and the moment they died, the rest stopped moving. the repeated left-clicking at the beginning matches better to mercy trying to select a different teammate than any kind of shooting you'd do with that team. could very easily be both and they just swapped between the two.

[@DaisiesTC]

You're reading too much into it, all of them are 2 word autogenerated names.

[@Dire_Pants]

InkyCrane is Big Boss. ... ... . (the joke being all of his soldiers codenames being an adjective and an animal)

[@babydemon46]

Its all one big bot, no leader. All names are auto generated names.

[@justaguy1304]

if somebody won a game doing this, i honestly couldn't even be mad

[@kielmessersmith1956]

I'll never forget the first time I seen someone multi-box in WoW. Dude was controlling like half a dozen frost mages in a battleground. Basicly 1 shotting other players. They stayed stacked up like it was one player, but you'd know as soon as he moved or cast spells on moving targets.

[@Colm1800]

my favourite was seeing a full stack of boomkin druids, spamming starfire, rampaging through org like it was nothing

[@KnoBz_1]

they're just making sure the other team wins :) how nice and totally normal

[@legodarkmetal]

Yeah you also get free kills. I mean take what you can get.

[@ccricers]

I watched a push game with a team of bots, the other team won easily and got multiple team kills. It wasn't a "perfect run" though, one bot stalled the point for a while and had to be killed there.

[@KC-kt2mj]

The second cheater was very interesting. It looks like it's a team of 5 bots with synced input that the cheater can switch between. At 6:36 you can see all of them using their primary fire at a wall before quickly switching to secondary fire. Looks like the cheater was on Mercy trying to switch between heal and dmg boost maybe. Then at 8:05 the cheater uses 'E' which makes Tracer recall for no reason, Sym places a random TP, Sig shoots rock at cart, Mercy does nothing cus there's nothing to rez, and Moira shoots a well aimed orb. At 8:09, Moira gets hit by an Orisa spear so she immediately hits 'Shift' to fade, Mercy does a short GA, Sym throws a turret at the wall, Tracer blinks forward, and Sig uses eat. 8:14 Moira dies and cheater can't enter inputs so all the bots stop moving.

[@Mierusama]

Could be someone trying an AI cheat on low ranks

[@aceclop]

When people say they wish they could have 5 copys of themselves on the team, I don't think this is what they meant .

[@nocfox3050]

6:10 - Next time someone says "Group up!" and my team isn't like this, I ain't playing

[@KerranJast1337]

I think the Moira might have been the leader of the 2nd game, since they stopped immediately after she died first fight, but then every fight after they stopped moving roughly when the death-cam turns into the kill-cam, since they could no longer see their surroundings in real time

[@doomclasher9287]

One can turn off the kill cam, but it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't know that

[@JordyVsTheWorId]

They’re just practicing dance choreography

[@ironnatepup]

Real talk: This could be a good gamemode idea. Two players each controlling a team, either akin to an RTS or like GW2's Solo Ops, swapping between the heroes on the fly with bot AI filling in for the ones the player isn't controlling.

[@rioluwhojustwatchesthings9472]

OH MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT I unironically always loved solo ops/getting a birds eye view and just being able to command people, aka boss mode. That would be a cool as hell gamemode, and for all i know, it's easily possible in workshop given enough time and effort.

[@atsukana1704]

I think one time someone made that a mode in overwatch 1, except all of the extras were one character. It was wild Granted birds eye would make it better

[@MAXBIN62]

A form of that already exists on workshop

[@cypresshillmoo]

Enlisted is a great game with this mechanic :)

[@azseal2669]

Or have it be like Natural Selection.

[@robastergaming6074]

honestly i feel like this has some potential to be a good game, one team has two people control a big team of bots kind of like enlisted while the other team is just normal

[@Endhog]

There was a custom game a while back which was basically just this, except everyone in your group was the same character. Pretty fun

[@Projectionater]

​@@Endhogstill exists, don't exactly remember but it was smthn like "10 v 11 clones"

They were all performing the same action on that game too, I wonder if it's the same guy doing new accounts. The team comp was fairly similar too iirc. Thanks for the video flats, awesome as ever!

[@Rephas]

Reminds me of an old workshop mode game I played where you play 5x of one character. Played some good 1v 6 matches on it but it was a a tad unstable; especially if you had multiple Dva bombs or Hamster mines going off.

[@martinkrastev6325]

I remember jay had an experience with such sight. It was extremely fuuny

[@charlesdotwin]

The one where they all move together is called multiboxing, and is somewhat common in MMOs. In WoW it used to be a way for more dedicated players to farm gold for bnet balance. Was also used to blow up people in uncoordinated world-pvp. Ive been away from the game, but Wow nerfed the way people did it and also nerfed the economic factors that incentivized it, so I doubt its much of a thing any more outside of rich kids spending daddies money to screw around. Edit: flats was calling them bots, they aren't bots. There's no scripting in this type of thing. The person who is controlling them is mirroring the controls across all the characters. Thats why they all move left/right forward and jump at the same time. Its why they "corral" them using the corner.

[@DevilsAdvocateGaming]

I've never rooted for cheaters before. That changed today. Thank you flats.

[@PumpkinDude314]

id love to see this as an actual competition that would just be so funny think about the strategies for this hive mind gaming like specifically playing characters that you dont or do have to hold so you could have a comp of like sigma cassidy junkrat illari kiriko due to the synced controlls

i once saw a similar workshop mode where you were on a team with 4 bots and all the bots mimicked your button inputs

[@zachrichard3821]

as an ex-bronze player, i used to run into these kinds of bots all the time near the end of ow1. on one hand, it was literal freelo, but on the other hand it was sooooo annoying and disappointing. wait 5 minutes in a queue just to not actually play the game basically lol. and disappointing because you know some random is gonna buy one of those accounts if they're selling and end up in bronze and trolling people's games / absolutely rocking their shit.

[@FringeSpectre]

I couldn't imagine being bronze. I remember when I first started playing when the game came out I placed silver. It didn't take long to climb out and get to plat. It was the plat to diamond grind that took me a long time (years). That was on console mind you. Now, I've recently become a fully fledged PC gamer who never used a mouse for aiming in a game in his life. I'm still not used to keyboard controls so I'm holding my Xbox elite controller in my left hand for movement/two abilities, and the rest of my kit is on my mouse. It works very well but my friends make fun of me for it lol. Anyway, the point is I placed gold 1 DPS, plat 5 tank, and plat 1 support which is basically equal to my console ranks except I'm Masters 1 support on console. I expect to get there again when I get used to and improve my mouse aim. What does this have to do with anything you said? Idk. I just thought about what it would be like to be bronze and my brain had to protect me from the trauma by forcing me to type out a stream of consciousness comment that serves no purpose other than being my glorified diary entry. I think I'm having a mental breakdown because I can't stop typing now. Perhaps someone will find this rambling interesting... Perhaps others will think I'm going to lead to a joke or some snappy ending zinger that made reading all of this worth it... Sorry to say, but that's not the case. Some may think by now that it's just a copypasta, but I assure you, it's not. I'm just supremely bored and waiting in a 10 minute long queue and... Oh! Game time. Finally. Time to one trick Torb, missing every shot while a genji destroys my turret and sexually harasses my Ana. Farewell fellow commentators and lurkers! I hope you have a great day!

[@pigeon_9161]

My theory is that its a chain. It goes sigma>tracer>moira>sym>mercy (Not sure abt the order of the last 2) Thats why when the moira dies it instantly turns off mercy and symm, bc the chain is broken while she respawns

[@pandasteakDSC]

I have a feeling this is someone experimenting with AI. The second one. Ive seen this before in other replays. Theyre better this time meaning I think someone is AI training bots to play OW as a personal project just to do it.

[@Killjoy45]

I actually had a game like this not too long ago. We played a match in Dorado and the enemy team at first seemed to be just group of really bad players, but soon enough we realised that about 4 of the 5 moved in a similar pattern. They pretty much ignored the payload and walked past it and directly attacked my team. Of course they were mopped down time after time, but we were left confused like what was even going on. Soon enough we realised they were like 4 bots and 1 real player against us. Their tank was only one who even wrote something and it was "report my Ana". That was weirdest comp match I've had in awhile, and leaves me wondering why would anyone do this shit. They weren't even watching their K D:s.

[@anxieteaplushbee]

I recently had a game that was really similar to the second one at 6:13 Instead of all moving together tho, they would move a little more independently rather then going up against walls to group together better. We were playing on My original theory was someone attempting to maybe train an ai that was in the early stages. But, seeing this again with what I'm pretty sure are different accounts from when I saw them the first time a few weeks ago is super weird. Other thing I noticed, is that all the accounts have usernames that are two words put together. Lemonsatyr, Goldlich, etc.... When I saw this, I remember the usernames did the same thing. Edit: after rewatching the video, I'm pretty sure these are the same accounts. From what I remember, the team comp was the same. And I'm also pretty sure the usernames are also the exact same.

[@patchworkjenn]

I think I get it with the collective. It looks like the characters were simultaneously receiving the same key input from a single user. So that's why the Moira was healing nothing as the other characters shot, and how the Mercy could res as well as the attempts to use different doors and clump up. I can't even imagine what the user's view looked like.
