This Game Has Too Many Cheaters

This game has too many hacker. A hundred percent chance someone/a team is hacking in Gun Run. One in every three ranked games feels like you're going against Vitaliy on Nuke. Pls fix, I know you know how many hackers are infiltrating your game.

Not to mention Arenas, holy smack -- they are literally infested with horrible cheaters. I don't mind that they cheat though, it's like someone gave a bot sentience, and they spend the rest of their lives trying to kill themselves.

again, pls fix.

I wish that posters would identify what platform they play on when they make these kinds of accusations. I'd lay odds that 50% of the time they got bested by a better player, but the other 50% of the time they probably got cheated, and they probably play on PC, the cheaters' platform of choice. On xbox I sometimes see things that I don't really believe, but it isn't that often, and it usually isn't anything that can't be explained by a bad network connection.

I'm honestly a little bit shocked with how you guys are encountering cheaters so often, I might have only encountered a single cheater in my entire time of playing Apex.
Not saying that there isn't an issue, though if there is this much of a gigantic divide between users that do see them often and those that barely see them... well, it just seems weird.

Since my last message was marked as accepted, I didn't want to edit it, so posting again. Another problem besides cheaters is the number of smurphs in the game.
There also used to been one type of smurph. which was low leveled accounts, (usually with the 20 kill, 4k damage badges). Now there's a second type which is higher leveled players who skip rank seasons so they'll end up in Rookie IV for future seasons. These players are technically smurphing as they're dropping themselves into lower leveled lobbies. Its the equivalent of throwing attacks in Clash of Clans and leaving your Town Hall out in the open for attackers. The game (Apex) is literally allowing players to ruin the matchmaking and it needs to honestly stop.

@1unown1 Apex doesn't have a kill cam for a few reasons, and I believe those reasons are that it can't easily handle it and that what the player is doing and what we see them do don't always line up properly, so there's a chance it be misinterpreted for cheating.

@kegskong Idk what servers your on but I play like 12 hours a day right now due to an injury and I'll run into maybe 1 person walling a day. I having been aim botted in ages. Don't think I ran into one cheater on my journey thru gold and I would like to blame my losses in plat on cheaters but they usually are just a lot better than me

@Exprress I always wonder if that's why there isn't a kill cam. You actually have to watch someone to know if they're cheating. In cod you can usually tell from the kill cam

@Daubi2011 Keep in mind that you've most likely aren't in lobbies that has cheaters due to how matchmaking is currently working, or other reasons such as legitimate players are killing you before a cheater could.

I see cheaters every other game, and every 5 or so games, its the full squad cheating and they all have low leveled account badges or no badges at all with diamond or higher ranked badges.

The game does have itself a cheating problem, it also has itself a smurphing problem, so some of the "cheaters" could just be high leveled preds on new accounts.
