Re: Why spectating dont always goes to person who killed me?

@Srksii Are you sure the gibralter is the one who physically got the kill? Or did the other guy hit you with the last bullet to get the kill

    @TheApexLegendNub It sends you to watch another team who wasn't in the fight or near the fight at all. Usually when this occurs for me, the player is 100% cheating, and they're just sending you away so you can't record them cheating.

    @Midnight9746 Im starting to think that it is true. It just ditched me on completely different squad when lifeline wasted me with only wingman headshots, and no way it died in next 3 seconds untill end screen. There was nobody else

    @Srksii I believe it is some type of bug. I have experienced this quite a lot. I die to a team my friends die to the same team. I'm spectating a team across the map while they are spectating the team that killed us. So I think there is some type of bug with it I may be wrong but I have had it happen quite a bit.

    @E9ine_AC Sometimes it doesn't send a player to spectate someone else and sometimes the game auto sets you back to watching the team that killed you. Usually when it happens to me, the team wins the game and so by the time I get back to them, there's no evidence to record.
  • @Midnight9746This happened tp me a couple days ago we were fighting at lava fissure and then started spectating a team at capital city so either we traded and both teams were eliminated, a bug happened, or someone was exploiting and forced us to spectate a random team idk

    this seems like a rare occurrence like it only happens once every couple of months

    @Midnight9746 I mean I can understand that. But just because we get demolished by someone does not mean there is cheating done. Some people are very good at the game. Some people just get very lucky with their shots at times in the game.

    Personally ive taken out 5 people in frag with nothing but headshots with a wingman. So I am sure when the team begins to talk over their death recaps I would be labeled a cheater by them because i train to aim for the head not the body. If im not hitting the head im missing my shots. I love watching those yellow numbers fly in the air. Some must understand that sometimes its just not cheating some get lucky or they are good at the game. While this is not me saying there are no cheaters I see loads of posts of people that show no cheating at all. So some have programmed their brains to just assume if they died to a low level or any level for that matter they must be cheating.
  • @E9ine_AC When I see a level 9 doing wall jumps and crap in arena and snapping like they have aimbot im labeling them as a cheater because aimbot or not smurfing is cheating

    @E9ine_AC It could be a bug, I'm just saying usually when I see it, the person is snapping target to target without missing a beat.

    @Midnight9746 That is exactly what we experience for a long time, now.

    If you get killed by a cheater, you rarely get to spectate him with his team.
    To those who say that you only spectate the one who killed you or find excuses about who killed your first dead-team-mate, etc.: We're talking team versus team. We're talking about spectating a team that's on the other side of the map once you've been wiped out by a cheater.

    And if you are lucky enough to spectate the cheater who killed you (that does happen), the best to do is to record a video of their behavior.

    @DarthJahus Just so you know, the TOS states "no naming and shaming", so if you suspect this person is cheating, report them at help.ea

    Furthermore, this video is back when Lifeline still has their rez shield. This person, (if they were cheating), most likely already gotten banned.

    @Midnight9746 Yep. I didn't want to shame or anything. And yes, that's an old video. Just wanted to give an example. Have had another encounter last time with a running Gibraltar (runs like Wraith), with aim lock and wall hack. I'll send the video to help.ea.
    Thanks.
