Proof that anti-cheat doesnt work

I have always been a defender of Respawns anti-cheat, mostly based on the fact that I rarely see cheaters in my games on EU. Just for the record; I never jump to the conclusion about cheaters just from lucky sprays or "suspicious" pre-fires etc, since I know fully well that also I can quite often 200-to-0 someone with one R99 mag due to skill or just plain luck. I always spectate to make sure that its really a cheater and honestly, Ive only seen 2-3 cheaters this season.

BUT...... I got killed a week ago by a 100% aimbot+ESP cheater. He knew where everyone was and he got 90% headshots in every spray.. He was lvl 27, 4k dmg + 20kill badges and Platinum 1 when I got killed by him . He had absurdly high headshot-to-kill ratio, like 1750 headshots on 340 kills on Wraith, which was the only Legend that the tracker showed. Only THIS is proof that he is a aimbot hacker; that number of headshots on so few kills is NOT realistic.

Anyways, I reported him and moved on, thinking he would get banned since I thought the anti-cheat easily would detect that kind of headshot-to-kills ratio. But the other day, I checked up on him again and guess what? He had NOT been banned, and had now advanced to level 42, was now in Diamond 1 and had started to play Gibraltar and Bangalore with the same insane headshot ratio ( 1896 headshots on 296 kills and 801 headshots on 130 kills respectively).

WTF Respawn??? How hard can it be to detect that kind of abnormal behavior? Think of how many honest players he destroyed in ranked, ruining their progress. Clearly your anticheat has serious flaws.

Hey @Babbediboopi
If you suspect someone of cheating, you can report the user.
This can be done with the in-game tool or on EAC - Apex Legends Report
This is the best way to report a cheating player as AHQ is not really suited for this.

@Draknost Hacks just tell the server that something didn't hit because it just goes "I didn't get a hit packet" and moves on. Speed is just like "I'm over here now". There's videos on youtube of people yeeting across the entire map at fast speeds. They're, as you said, easier to spot.

and then we have those getting banned for having ICUE opened lol. respawn is a joke and pretty sure its the same as scaming people for having a headset and watercooler program opened when u have paid for lootboxes

oh also I got suspended for hate speech for a week without any warning (no mmail. ingame pop up or mute), ingame trolls, griefing make ppl angry and EA bans ppl who actually plays the game. not even mentioning cheaters. this is unfair, there should be mute system or warning system before banning people and should be griefing option in report system (ppl go afk,rat whole game in ranked just get top 5, for RP, they never get banned for ruining our game but when i raise voice for that i do). I ll mute every1 from the beginng from now on and give this game an another chance but i see alot of ppl in similar positions, your unfair bans pushing ppl away from the game, actual ppl who really plays the game and pays for it, not trolls, bots or account sellers.
