Killed A Lag Switcher & Won The Game! - Cheating SUCKS! - But More Cheats Daily!

Hello EA,

Hopefully you'll see this, otherwise it's a waste of my time typing this!

Not to toot my own horn, but i have around 1300 hours in the game, been playing constantly since Season 1 and I'm Level 456, because I play all the time.

Regardless of this being a free game to consumers, there are still things to purchase in the game, but the reality is, it's not free for you to develop, it does cost you money and cheaters hurt the profits, and wreck havoc on the industry at large!

On 06/04/2020 I came across a Lag Switcher at the Swaps in Kings Canyon, we were fighting it out for the win. Inside a building, this person turned on their lag switch and started zig zagging and lagging all over the place to avoid me, but I prevailed, I killed them and I won the game!

A lot of people would not of prevailed, because the lag zig zagging around was not easy to target on, but the person playing clearly lacked skill, which I did not, and my skill was triumphant, but that doesn't make it right, that I had to work even harder against someone like this, to play this game, and it really saddens me, that players still have to deal with people like this.

I still see constantly cheats in this game also with Aim Bots, and no recoil hacks, as well as speed hacks too.

Season 5 hasn't even been around for that long, and with the so called new Duos Mode, I see wait times really long, and that is for other various reasons, besides the fact that cheating isn't helping. Duos wait times are not looking good, it's showing a slow down in the game.

EAC has a Report section, and you better believe people like me are using it. (I hope something is being done too about cheating!)

I still love this game, but rhetorically speaking, one very important aspect I want you to NEVER forget is, how are we ever suppose to know when we play, that we are truly playing to the best of our abilities, when we have to face various cheats in the game. This will always beg the question in the back of our minds, are we doing as good as we can, or is this it. How can someone ever feel like they have a fair advantage at getting good, when cheaters take away this reality.

So many people are going to walk away, frustrated feeling defeated, like they can never be good enough, thinking it's to hard, that they are not skilled enough, when that's not true, the truth is, the cheaters make the game more difficult then it really is.

Computer Gaming is not a joke for many people, and of course for you EA/Respawn, it is your way of life! For us, it's also the same, the gamers that making gaming their life and hobby too, it's also what we live for, and I'm sure you know this also.

So for the LOVE of Gaming, for you that make your life in this, and those that also live and love it, I really hope, and one day soon, you'll have a better solution to this problem.

P.S. After playing this game for as long as I've mentioned, I stay away from Ranked and Trios, simply for one reason, the cheating is that bad, and for now, I only play Duos, where I don't see it as bad.

    To be fair, I'm dealing with a TON of lag lately.. like, most games - and it happens most when I get into fights, try to move fast, etc... And I know it an't an issue with my laptop/internet. 

    Thing is, when I lag - I get wiped, because I lag for 2-3 seconds, and can't do a damn thing.

  • Dont think can or intend to fix this, after 6 season its even gotten worse imo. So either play non ranked, if thats better or just play another game. Let the cheaters play again eachother.

    Maybe it will even ring a bell to the toddle... i mean devs. Got a mail yesterday saying i cant call devs 'toddlers' anymore. but look at this post, look at all the post with complaints about servers or legends or the sucky battle pass. i think using toddlers is not a bad name, could be much worse xD anyway, i havent played all that much because getting really sick of the cheaters and toddle, i mean devs "efforts"
