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 and you don't even litigate? That is the part I'm confused with? Is it that you let them create new accounts to bolster the numbers of your game? You don't care? You want new account to buy the reskins? 

There is so much smurfing and cheating going on right now and it doesn't seem like EA or Respawn are doing anything about it. I've been playing since season 2 and this is easily the worst I've ever seen it. I'm getting beamed across the map, getting one clipped by people neo-straffing, and having people pre-fire me while i'm making no noise moving around corners, etc. 

There are so many sketchy things this season that I lose faith that I'm ever being killed by somebody with skill, and just being killed by kids with strike packs, or wallhacks, and aimbots. Or sadder still, people that can't play against people their own skill level and create new accounts to screw with people in bronze to gold lobbies.

Please fix your game, or more people will keep leaving for Valorant or Overwatch

    @Unitee01 Well as a 50 year old long time roller player, I will say this... as this is me speaking for just myself. That Aim assist doesn't do for me what the many claim it does. And that's not me just saying that to defend roller users. I mean literally it does not do that for me. It has hindered me many a time. But dam I would give anything to have it work for me the way the claims here say it does. It does slow down a bit on far distant targets, but I always sit here and think as I read, "Dam, why doesn't it do that for me!"
    My son plays PC and Although I hate playing with PC players, I used to play with him once every couple days for a short session. I couldn't wait for him to end the session so I could go back to playing against controllers, because when ever I play with him, I feel like I've never played video games in my life. Decimated with ease. Out aimed at every turn, out maneuvered consistently. My KD plummets when I play with him.
    I just truly believe Mnk should only be able to play with MnK and vice versa for console. consoles hate playing against MnK & MnK hate playing against console players. This is pretty supported on this forum alone.

    So many debates, issues and complaints and fights would cease. But then so would some of EA's money.

    @NickBeam27 For sure man, I also feel like that when I played roller but I have to be honest - I do find one clipping up close easier and in some ways I miss it since I switched to pc. But something to think about is since I switched I have longer matches, way better damage totals, more fun and just a less toxic and better experience overall. I will never ever ever go back. I will delete Apex off of my PS as soon as I can drag myself away from my PC lol. It is A$$.

    @Unitee01 I could never play PC but not because of anything to do with gaming itself. More so that growing up a mouse and keyboard was always affiliated with working for me. So when I have tried to game with a MnK, I didn't have the feeling like I was playing a game and having fun. Felt like work haha. If that makes any sense. I use a MnK at work a lot for decades so it just ruins the "Yay, im off work and time to play!" - feeling.

    @NickBeam27 Never understood that argument, because it’s really based on a false believe. Gaming got truely formed on pc just thinking back when I started gaming I did that on pc with games like doom hexen duke3d Wolfenstein3d etc.
    Moving on to games like half life cs1.5 warcraft3 StarCraft and so on.

    @NickBeam27 

    @Unitee01 

    Hmm yeah I guess that's pretty much spot on then.

    Honestly, at this point I'm just making assumptions myself.

    Might be the best if they were just to release a blog post on this issue or something similar, at least that we know what they're working on or that they're going to do something.

    Also Nick, what do you mean by "yet only one person banning for one of, if not thee most popular and played BR at the moment"  are you referring to hideouts?

    Because Hideouts is far from the only person working on that.

  • @DeepBeats i swear to god half the players that kill me on PC are on controller. a game like apex that requires good aim to be rewarded, you would think mkb would be on top but im pretty sure controller is dominating right now. i dont understand why aim assist is even a thing anymore. if they take it away then itll be an even playing field against other controller players

    @matzesingt Are you suggesting when I use a MnK to play video games and feel like I am working instead of playing is "based on a false belief" ? LOL
    Based on the games you highlighted above, I'm gonna guess I'm much older than you are. Cause I started playing on controller with Pong, whatever came after that (colleco Vision?) Atari, Sega Genisis, Sega CD Saturn, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, etc.... Rollers since a small child. MnK was not introduced in my life until grade 8 for typing class. Than MnK in work settings once I hit my 30's over 2 decades ago.
    So yes, MnK for me, feels like I am at work doing a job and not on my couch at home having fun, playing a game. : )

    @XHelperZ Im sure there are a few that work for Hideouts contributing to banning. But I'll guess that number isn't anywhere near the 200 plus that were testing this train wreck of a game.
