Cheaters

Your first mistake was spending money on a free game. And yeah, there are literally tens of thousands of cheaters that have utterly ruined this game for normal players.

The problem is that cheats aren't just rage hacks anymore, theres levels to them. Some people have full aimbot and some have soft aimbot that you can barely detect. Theres also a whole lot of stuff on controllers like those new RC filters. There are just waaaaay too many ways to cheat these  days, multi million dollar industry in itself

For one cheater they ban , 4 will take it's place. 

...and that one they ban, simply creates a new account and is cheating again in 10 minutes, tops. Look at the players that are head-shotting you in several shots; they're all level 20 or lower, yet amazingly play like gods. It's a sh*t show.

It is true that this game has a massive cheating problem. While the developers are banning a huge number of players every month, the reason the issue never improves is that they are only reacting after the fact rather than creating a real deterrence.

The biggest issue is that under the current system, anyone can easily create a new Sub-Account for free, meaning a ban inflicts zero damage on them. Unless the developers increase the cost and demerit of creating Sub-Account, this endless cat-and-mouse game will never stop.

Even if they use AI to beef up their reactionary bans, it will do nothing to deter them.

Yep, without a hardware ban, all they're doing is making these POS take 5 minutes to create another account.

It's getting worse every season, and they're telling us the cheating rate is at an all-time low??? Is this some kind of joke?

I'm sorry, but Wildcard is no longer playable in my lobby in the morning, late evening, or at night. It's only "relatively" playable for a few hours in the afternoon when the most people are online, and I don't encounter the same people in the lobby that often.

I think I'll create a server in Africa and start playing there... It'll definitely be more relaxed. I'm sorry, but the number of people I've caught cheating on controllers is absurdly high. Every now and then, Axle slides at lightning speed, and I get hit with a single clip from an R99 or devo from 100 meters. Is this normal? XD

There's even a streamer on Twitch who constantly posts challenges on a different account, like "Bronze to Master," and he's clearly using a Titan or other **bleep**.  In every situation, he always has his sights glued to his body and 100% accuracy. No, I'll never believe that. It's technically impossible. He runs around the entire map practically always solo, always having excellent orientation, as if he always knows where everyone is. Even in diamond, running solo and getting 20 kills? People still watch and pay for it...

I no longer believe that anything will change regarding cheating, but PLEASE - give me that better solo q in ranked and unranked modes... This is my ONLY hope that I will play with weaker people more often, but I will be sure that they don't use the same crap as a lot of people in my lobbies. I can't wait for you to finally fix this as you previously announced... This is all I've been waiting for since the first day of this season.

The fact is that if you watch any random predator, you will see that 99.9% of predators play with a gamepad, they move their crosshair in a very strange way, and in 99.9% of cases, every predator is a cheater. There are only 750 of them, so why can't we watch each predator's game recording at the end of the season? It's enough to watch just one game and see that they use crosshair binding, and it doesn't matter if the anti-cheat detects it or not, it's clearly visible to the human eye. I'm sure that if they did, 99.9% of the predators would be banned forever.

btw the devs ban cheaters after the fact, so what's the point of me playing this game and achieving a certain ranking if I lose a huge amount of points due to cheaters and don't receive compensation for it? Every week, I receive 10-15 messages about a player I reported 2-3 months ago being banned, but I have already lost my ranking points, and at the end of the split, I didn't receive compensation for each banned cheater who killed me.

I still remember the situation from 2 seasons ago, where ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY thanks to a video from Zeus, one of the multi preds was finally banned for using XIM... (by the way, all three top preds from consoles were banned then for XIM/Cronus).

After all this I don't believe in anything anymore. If someone can cheat for years and only then be punished, then I have no more questions.

We've reached a point where most current preds are just plain cheaters.

I've encountered situations many times where multi-masters or preds from much earlier seasons (no s17 and s12) are completely crushed by current ones, but not because they're weak. They simply earned their ranks honestly back when all this crap wasn't yet popular.

Now, when I see a current pred, I just quit the game. Every time I see that zero recoil and the crosshair glued to the body... Lstar, devo, r99, and let's go... It's sad what happened to this game.

"I spend money in the game and I can’t even kill anybody", are yo userious dude? You think you should get some kind pf special privilage in the game because you pay for stuff? Lol. 

Im plat and I haven't seen that many cheaters, or at least it's hard to know who is cheating and I get some kills without problems and my aim is **bleep**. This is in SOLO queue
