Ranked

@Palette24carats Yeah, exactly. I'm seeing a bunch of players who have either no "last season" ranked stamp, or it says "Rookie IV". The game really needs to stop letting people drop so low in the ranks, and needs to actually balance and work better at stopping cheaters and smurphs.

Edited:

Vantage died when I died, so I was only able to spectate Ash. Ash was playing like a cheating bot. Their aim snapped to targets when she aimed down sights, and was beaming enemy players, as she was using anti-recoiling when firing the hemlok, and used the single fire mode, which sounded like it was an R-99.

A tell tale sign of a cheater, is that they focus more on shooting and where they're positioned, (aka keeping a line of sight on targets unless they're using the cheat where bullets curve corners slightly), and less on healing and keeping healed up. Sometimes a cheater won't even heal and would squad wipe teams with less than 5 hp left. This Ash was doing just that, but their aimbotting only was active while she was aiming down sights. When they went to shield up, a Horizon dropped down next to them to also shield up, and then Ash pulled out the Hemlok and beamed Horizon, but Ash ended up dying due to not being fully healed up, and only having level 2 evo vs Horizon's full level 3 evo. Both Ash and Vantage were in the same club, so I'm going to assume Vantage was using cheats as well.

Both players were Rookie IV last season. This seems to be a common trend. Players just drop into rookie, to what appears to be used to abuse matchmaking, not quite sure though.

Regardless of what they're doing, this guy is basically smurphing into lower lobbies while his Bloodhound teammate is a flat out smurph. Neither seemed to be cheating.
