cheating and smurfing not being addressed?
You are a multi billion dollar company and yet the cheat companies have better developers than you do? They have professional websites with discords, youtube channels and streamers promoting non-stop...

@Xubunnytwo From what I saw how this game was at launch (old youtube vids) it looks like Respawn REALLY cares about this game because almost all of their gameplay changes have been fantastic, and you usually can't say that for developers with GAAS like this. Overwatch got ruined by constant tinkering but Apex seems to have found what is fun and adapted accordingly (evo shields, starting with armor/helm, new guns slap, new maps (not storm point), new legends are all fantastic)
@DELETExSBMM I like Storm Point better than Broken Moon, they need to add more to BM to make it more interactive. There are no buttons to push, no go to spot, no official legend hide-away.
Cheaters basically found a way to block reporting.
I just got killed by a team that was cheating on new accounts, and I ended up spectating my teammate, (and the last one who was alive), however the only tab given was the spectate one, I didn't have a death recap tab. Once my teammate had gotten killed, there was still no death recap tab, yet the summary tab appeared and I was then specating the cheating team which I had reported, (which the bugged UI seems to indicate a cheat much like how they can force your spectation onto another squad even when they're still alive).
Why I think its a cheat as well: Season 16 for whatever reason removed the ability to report the last squad and the death recap tab was also removed from that fight. Why? No idea. However cheats work by finding weaknesses in the game's code. (For example, wall hacks work because cheaters get the location data sent to and from the server from all players, and with that data they can pinpoint everyone on the map). So as far as I'm aware of and from what I'm seeing, EA/Respawn only enabled cheaters to cheat more.
Not being able to report when dying to the last team needs to be patched out as its only going to enable cheaters to become fully unreportable and combined with force spectation and hiding their usernames, no one is going to be able to report them and we already know that Easy Anti-Cheat doesn't seem to care.
What I can see being the next big thing:
1) You die and place 3rd-20th or so place, killer's names are <Legend> tags, there's no death recap, and you're now watching a squad that's 200+ meters away from where you had died
2) You die and place 2nd, and its the same as above, where you get no reportable usernames, no death recap, but the difference is that the last team's name won't be shown at all as "this is your champion" screen would still show their <Legend> tag, and right when you die any and all HUD UI (like that team's health) goes away.
As a player, this just looks like a non-verbal way of saying "we don't care" (and/or) "we can't fix this problem" (...) so we're just going to phase out reporting and pretend its not a thing. (They kind of already do that with smurphs).
(The kill leader is one of the cheaters, even though I had to remove their name).Rank is FLOODED with cheaters. I keep seeing console players with PC aim (strikepacks/xim), there's way too many wall hackers, and people I've reported a few days, weeks, even months ago are still playing, despite aimbotting.
@Midnight9746What is your evidence for this constant cheating? I've read your posts for a long time regarding it yet I wonder what the difference is vs you landing all your shots. I play pc too and actually think there are less cheaters vs console as console does not show numbers. Every time I die I can see why. Why do you think every match you play has cheaters in it? It is virtually impossible and accuracy is pretty easy to control anyway..
And also, strike pack offers "constant aim" instead of "accurate aim". You can aim better than it can is the normal response to it. The difference is it can allow you to do other things, like jump while not having to think about recoil control or tracking. So, just accurate aim alone is not a reason to suspect cheating. Some can shoot straight with a controller, easy, not that hard, depending on settings and I have yet to see a difference.
edit - if there was any real evidence those players would be banned, but I do not see it? I am not here to choose sides yet I have yet to see it legit happen. And this is coming from someone who does not trust EA/Respawn.
