@TBTFW I only reached plat IV in both splits because I solo qued. During the first split, ranking up to plat for the first time, was hard as it was meant to be for me, I did derank a lot due to matchmaking. However, with the second split, ranking up wasn't as hard, but I've noticed several waves of people flat out cheating. While playing in normal modes, this wave of cheaters, was most commonly by low level players.
We had a Lifeline who acted like a bot, in which they would randomly stop moving, and then start walking. They never seemed to have run, and they ran a hemlok in single fire. Every time they spotted an enemy, they would land mostly all headshots into the target. They killed me instantly in 6 hits, with 4 being to the head. When I had spectated them later, I saw them go after another person, get shot at by another, in which they reacted by targeting the shooter. The person they followed then took the zipline, and the Lifeline (with no optics) landed every single shot on the player zipping up, without missing a single shot. Lifeline's aim then snapped to other targets, as they continued to get a bunch of headshots, After watching them for about 8 minutes, their 3rd crashed (since they disconnected and didn't disappear from their team), Lifeline got downed by multiple enemy teams, because she was being watched by me and other players, as well as being unable to snap to each target's head. Their 3rd was left against the final team, and was unable to win the game.
This Lifeline clearly was cheating, since they acted like a bot, didn't miss shots, was perfectly tracking players, including ones behind walls, didn't move like a pred or pro, didn't seem to care about certain enemy players, and the fact that they were a level freaking 8 with 57 kills... fun...
