Re: Far too many cheat users.
Started playing Fortnite again with some friends, and the cheater problem there is just as bad as Apex, if not worse.
There were several matches where 6+ people were wall hacking and had aimbot. We noticed that one had impossible aim and was dealing more damage than a gun had allowed, so we spectated them and watched them snap to players, even ones through walls, and some of us switched to watch other squads, and saw several more players doing the exact same aim snapping and b-lining directly to players, even ones who were quiet and hidden in places like bushes.
One of the Fortnite cheaters aimbotted and wall hacked the whole lobby in one of the matches and then ended with the victory crown emote, where it said they won with the crown over 300 times. In other words, they've been allowed to cheat for a long time. They used the setting that hid their name, and weren't found or reportable in the player listing.
Just goes to show how far behind every game's anti-cheat and reporting systems are.
I also think the ability to hide your name shouldn't be allowed unless you're a verified streamer like ItsTimmy, Hal, etc., but instead of "Anonymous [###]" in Fortnite, or "<Legend>####" in Apex, it should be a random username, so non-streamers can't just go "that's a streamer, lets bother them".
Something else that's clear is that reporting these cheaters, in any game, is pointless as they just easily alt account their way back in. I honestly don't see the point in cheating, there's no glory, there's no nothing to gain besides being hated, and why do people crave that? I will never understand.
The take away:
- We should just go play single player games until devs for every online game are able to do something. Maybe wait for more system wide updates like what PlayStation did to ban the Chronus Zen on its consoles. I personally don't see a point in trying to play a game, when its being flooded with cheaters.
