Season 13 = Aim bot Hell.

Been on Apex Legends since Season 1.
I've never in all that time run into so many aim bot users.
At the tail end of Season 11; and every day thus far in Season 13 have been specially noticeable . 

I play every day, every day, morning noon and night. I do nothing but play Apex Legends. I'm out of work for the time being. And I just like fps games a lot. 
I was a avid Titan Fall 2 player until Respawn let the servers die. 
That had its own hacker problem.
But nothing as bad as what I see in Apex this Season!


Normally you lead ahead of a target ,Deflection , so your bullets intersect who you aim at.
This is not happening with aim bot users. They shoot behind a moving target, and all their damage numbers are direct hits.
This happens with No other players, except Mostly those who are so bold to display their masters badges. 

One player can down highly skilled open mic premade teams, with just one aim bot.

This season has been hell so far. I have spectated too many aim bot users. I am now starting a video channel to document this problem.

It sucks, knowing you can try to be the best you can be, and it will Not matter in Apex Legends. Because cheaters are rewarded.
After building up my account for so many months I've begun playing PVE games again.
That's how bad Apex cheating problem has become that every match there is guaranteed to be one or two or More teams using aim bots! 

I've even been invited to Training maps with aim bot users, they deny it but laugh the whole time at all your efforts.
I'm not a low level player I have High experience. And also just a plat player. But I know how to use the map to my advantage. 
I have fair number of knocks. But it will Not matter against a aim bot user.  

What pushed me to write this was the lone Wraith player, downing my whole team of blue shields, and auto rifles, with one Wing-man, Hoping around all the while not missing One head shot  erratically shooting off. 

Respawn if you can't get this aim bot problem under control it will ruin apex Next season mark my words for Most of your player base. They will think what are they doing wrong?

I see what players do to compensate for this problem :
They simply do not engage teams anymore. Scared that they will get instant downed by aim bot users.
 They rat around the edges of the map, and do nothing!
I cant get a team to attack even when the fight would Obviously be in our favor.
Because we know, eventually the aim bot users will ruin any efforts. The new rank system is also encouraging the rat behavior. since you get more points just for waiting for end round than you do for fighting teams.

Its been No fun for me because; random teams wont even push anymore. And they wonder why they lose?
They are not only bad, but they have aim bot users to contend with. They just don't get it.

If Respawn don't get The aim bot problems under control it will ruin apex Next season mark my words.
And all the users who say otherwise; Often are using aim bots themselves.
They cant even get themselves to admit to the evidence already documented.
Most players don't notice what I do, because they simply do not play nor spectate other teams as much as me.

In the meantime I'll be playing other games where cheating is not as pronounced.

  • Do yourself a favor and find a game where the devs care about cheating.

    I left this dumpster fire almost 3 seasons ago, I don't miss it.

    Someone kudo'd one of my older posts and I saw your thread, I wasn't even going to bother logging in.

    Either way you decide what is worth your time.  You are not wrong.

    Also people have always ratted around avoiding fights, it is not related to the cheating issue.

  • The problem is i think players simply do not play as much nor spectate as much as I do. No one comes close to me. So that is why most players say they dont notice. they just chalk up their loss to their own team only, and skill of the other team. they are oblivious of how bad the aim bot software has gotten. But noted.

  • Ive quit apex just a week ago. Apex is going to die. The cheating is absolutely ridiculous and the devs are doing next to nothing to fix

    They can keep their game since they dont care about the user experience.... Sick of it... 

  • @Johnathan_Star_M ran into a guy who was shooting in the air, every single shot they fired were hitting someone, and the bullet lines were appearing in places they didn't move to or were standing at. (In other words, they were most likely using a lag switch cheat).

    Season 13 is the worst season so far with the matchmaking and cheating problem.
