Streamers are Ruining the game

Don't get me wrong, there's many streamers who bring joy and hype into Apex, but lately there's been a huge surge in streamers that don't even exist on the platform their names say they're on. While, the annoying part is most of them have these names to act like pro players, to conceal cheats. I've ran into 6 TTV's, 2 FB's, 4 YT's, who all acted like bots who didn't miss shots, who always found enemy players no matter what, and were hitting long distance with close range guns. (Such as using a wingman, no scopes, and downing a guy 100+ meters away in just 1-2 hits.) These players were obviously using aimbot, wall hacks, and they didn't do much to hide it. Some of these streamers are also just flat out toxic.

    @Midnight9746 

    What you're talking about is very true. People are acting like YouTube / Twitch channels to deter players. I've directly seen this one player with 15K kills with a known Twitch channel. So i checked it out. The streamer doesn't play Apex Legends lol. 2k subs, not one video any of thier social media channels.

    I also did notice that this player just started to act very bad while i was watching. Missing clips after clips. Didn't miss on my when i died lol. So yah @Midnight9746 people are doing it, with you 100% on that. Ninja cheaters would be the hardest thing to ever fix in Apex without a massive change.

    Also i've seen and reported some new TTV accounts that were using aim bots with radar, but didn't notice that i was watching. What i find odd, most players don't stay to watch to see if people are using cheats. If a cheater has 15 kills, i'll be the only one watching most of the time. Don't get me wrong, i don't think it's the gamers job at dealing with them, just think EAC works from only player reports.

    Man does PC need a closed gaming OS already.

    @Popa2caps Indeed, while I have met some legit streamers, a vast *majority* of them hide behind a TTV, TV, Twitch, FB, or YT name tag that's suppose to scream "I'm a pro, git gud". But at this point it just screams "I think I'm so cool, I'm self promoting by telling you what platform to find me on!" even though like I said *most of them are fakes*.

    Someone even complained about them recently, saying that most of the streamers aren't even an actual account. If EA removes the tags from user's names, and only add it if they verify their account. It would be better in the long run, since cheaters can't use it to hide behind anymore.

    AKA some platforms, like a Discord server, requires a user to have a certain amount of videos, subs, etc. before getting the Youtuber role. Or certain amount of tweets, etc. If games start doing this verification, then people tell who's really a streamer or not. I mean, new comers can still stream and such, but they won't have a TTV or some other tag to act in a special class above the rest.

    I really don't know. The actual streamers aren't ruining the game, if they're just gamers who love the game. But cheaters, scripters, fake streamers and toxic streamers, are what the issue is about.

    I`m pretty sure a lot of top streamers were/still using hacks/cheats at some point to get viewers.

    The problem with today cheats is, they can easily be hidden and hard to know if a people is cheating or not, if he is smart enough.

    Also we can see only free version of this cheats on youtube and how they work, but there is also private cheats that are $ costly and are way better and undetected. And we don`t know how smooth they are and how to actually understand if they are using or not.

    See so many people that laser beam and when they see the icon that someone is watching them, they just turn the cheat off. Its just on toggle and you can on/off whenever you want.

    So many people are using soft aimbot as well.

    The cheating in Apex is becoming a huge problem, but Respawn ain`t doing a thing for it.

    I`m starting to think if the game continue like that. 

    Just from yesterday died like 10 times to cheaters, and they were blatants one.
