Frequency of hackers in Singapore ranked arenas servers

I've had friends that just stopped playing ranked BR once they reach plat/diamond just because of how bad its gotten, thought the cheaters wouldn't care about arenas but guess they've started liking it more than BR. There's always one in every 3-5 games in D2-D1 for the past 2 weeks. I also just found out there were new hires to ban cheaters for JP and NA (like what Hideouts does). Can we please for the love of god get one for SG/OCE servers? I don't want to keep on having to queue in NA servers with >250ms ping just to get a game that doesn't suck - especially in ranked arenas.

Also what's your stance on boosting? Coz many times their teammates never seem to care that the dude's blatantly cheating and they'd nade spam just to our team to peak into the hacker

    @Ghosted_Waffle That is quite an assumption to make. Considering Respawn has brought in quite a bit of staff for the cheating situation. There is now someone in charge of the Asia servers and has been putting in some work cleaning them up. These words coming from some of the top players who play on those servers. While it may not be going as fast as some wish it to be going the fact is they are making a impact. Rome was not built over night. It will take time to clean things up. So to say they dont address it is a little wrong. Bringing on more for the team shows they are addressing it by bringing in more people to handle it.

    @KaeFyne Have you tried reporting them in Hideouts discord? Rin is in that discord and is quite fast to review clips and take action if it is needed.

    @E9ine_AC I didn't even know they had a Discord or the fact they had new hires for Asia servers (which I'm hoping also covers SEA/OCE) Will definitely look into it, thanks for letting us know!

    Would be nice if they'd update us about all this via in-game discussions or something, there's a lot of frustration (at least amongst my friends and the randoms I've queued up with) whenever we meet a cheater and most of the time share the same sentiment — that it's just how the game is or that EA isn't putting in any effort to combat the cheating situation in SEA. I feel like it'd greatly help improve people's view of the game and moreso give players hope that someday there'll be a fix.
