Re: This Game Has Too Many Cheaters

The problem isn't that the game has too many cheaters, it's that there's no active anticheat... there are no bans in this game... unless of course you criticize Respawn or EA 🙂

I've got an email about my name and if I don't change it, I'll be punished xD (Yeah I agree that the name was little excessive but still... )

The first few days of season 16, I didn't feel like anyone was cheating. Smurphing, sure, but not cheating. Now every game is back to rampant cheating, non-stop, 24/7.

The average Apex player's logic:

After one-clipping enemy #1: GET GOOD YOU NOOB AHAHAHAH DELETED I AM THE GREATEST!

After being one-clipped by enemy #1's teammate: APEX IS FULL OF CHEATER!!!!

Yes there are some cheaters but if you honestly think that the majority of your deaths happen because of a cheater, then you are delusional. First thing you have to ask yourself: How good are you at this game? If the answer is around average, i.e you have like 1 "true" KD (without exluding your early quits) or perhaps even worse, then you must be smart enough to also realize that many players in your lobby dont need aim bot cheats to one-clip you or know to exactly where you are without wallhacks. Smurfs and bad matchmaking is the main reason for your bad experience; not cheaters.

@NerfMyAimPlz I don't think you realize what's considered cheating in this game. Yes most of the time we speak of cheaters we mean kids playing with illegal software. But smurfing is ALSO considered cheating in this game 🙂

Also if you think a master is the average player then I would agree with you about the 1 KDR Cuz let me assure you there's not a single gold rank with 1 KDR.... Yet we are talking about all tiers/ranks. Also try to one clip someone with r99 from 250m away... also try to do it with mostly headshots... I mean 9/10 headshots... and then speak about the players and the cheaters. Just because you haven't encounter many... (probably you die before you encounter them or they get killed before that) doesn't mean there are no cheaters. I encounter at least one every 3-4 games sometimes even more often. Also cheaters are not only aimbots... there are so many cheats your head will explode... 

Edit: sorry about my grammar and punctuation...

@Griminvain 

Actually, that is partly incorrect. The kind of smurfing that Respawn prohibits is if you create new account after account to get into the "new account-lobby" to farm badges. In a tweet, Respawn  explicitly stated that its totally OK for a predator skilled player to do a Bronze4-to-master" solo Q run every split on alt accounts. 

And no, I didnt say there werent any cheaters and if someone one-clips me with 90% HSes with a R99 at a distance of 250 m, then I would also be sure he was a cheater. But that never happens. But whatever. I do two bronze-to-diamond3solo Q runs and one plat4-to-master grind with my premade squad every split and I see very few cheaters. I wont argue with you if you see cheaters in 1/3 of your matches in your reality. Must be frustrating. 

I am the first to admit that you can "feel" that you just died to a cheater, especially in the heat of battle. But what I do is to take a deep breath, calm down and ask myself this very simple question: "Could I have done the exact same thing (i.e beam, series of headshots, pre-fires, out-play etc) that this so called cheater just did to me?" And the answer to that question is yes in 9/10 situations. That doesnt mean its 100% he didnt use cheats but I would just be silly if I claimed that he was.
