@bokodlo1Don't worry, it's not just you. I can probably count on one hand the number of non cheater lobbies I've seen the last two seasons. It's very bad in mixtape and pubs especially, I'd say the least cheating I've seen this season has been in ranked, but the players in there are so good you need to practice a lot to get a kill so you still die just as much.
In pubs on pc it's near impossible to get one kill between the cheaters using rapid fire and aimbot, illegal movement, and bad hit reg. In mixtape most games are over so fast because a 3stack of cheaters comes in and takes the lobby over, ending the game in a few minutes, with all the same problems that occur in pubs.
What you'll notice with the L Star situation you mention is the cheaters guns fire much faster than our guns. This is because their cheats have configs where the gun will rapid fire, emptying out all of it's mag in the time most guns do just 1 or 2 bullets. (There are videos out there that post before and after shots in the firing range of the apex beam cheat, I can't post it here due to forum policies though) So they just go around blasting everyone in the head while doing fake movement that involves a key bind that presses the button 1,000 times per second.
As I've said in other threads I have a feeling the hit reg problem is probably caused by these cheaters since it is making the servers work harder, thus having a parasitic effect on them causing them to not register hits correctly. Someone told me that is a possibility, but I'm not sure if that's really how it works.
I just hope they get the cheater problem solved soon since it's really hurting the game, so many are leaving because of it. My cousin who just started apex a month ago quit since he said he got tired of all the enemies killing him in 1 or 2 shots yet none of his shots do any damage. He went back to Fortnite full-time. If they ever fix this I'm going to try to get him to come back. 🙂
