Cheating is out of hand Season 21
So 50 games into season 21 and it seems the anti cheat upgrade was a complete bust. It seems every single game of pubs there is someone clearly aimbot and walling. I play at 120fps, wired connection ...
Forum Discussion
@AvengArnie Agree with the overall sentiment, but disagree with how MnK and controllers should be balanced. Controllers players should perform lower than mouse users. So in order to balance it in a fair way, mouse players should always have better stats. They start from a higher accuracy starting point. The amount of Aim Assist given should close the gap only partially, NOT completely.
You take the inferior device, make it equal, then that’s not balanced. It’s over-tuned at that point. The amount of assist required to make it on par with a mouse for the average player is far too much.

@RaginSamThat ignores economics though. There are way more console controller players than PC MnK players and therefore more money to be made making controller players happy. As a PC MnK player I'm OK with that, but I don't like it when they cater to controller players too much. Apex currently does with overturned AA and it ticks me off. Not anywhere near as much as cheaters and smurfs do, but getting lasered in a CQB by a roller player feels bad.

Pick a lane brother, you’re all over the road! Lol
I don’t want to derail this thread, but just a response…
If people are generally decent with either input device, in my experience, they’ll usually end on a controller because it’s easier to be consistent. That already there skews the statistics in my opinion. So what would be MnK players are now using rollers to be more competitive.
You are correct about “economics”. It’s about sales and getting people to buy skins. However, the gaming is trying to portray itself as a “competitive shooter”, which it fundamentally is not. The problem again is that competitive historically means it’s trying to fair. In my opinion it fails by giving one input device assisted tracking.
Back to the topic, the game is infested with cheats. It feels like every other round has either a cheater or a duo of cheaters working together. People still wonder why people Smurf in this game? It’s because past a certain time, I live near a very big populated city, the game is unplayable. Sometimes it could be something is up with the lag compensation or it’s players just cheating.
Wall hacks are definitely the most common.
