Every match filled with cheaters and smurfs

I don't know about rankings, but pubs are just one big gathering of cheaters.

Which is strange. I just always assumed that if a person was going to cheat then they'd cheat in ranked where you at least get something in exchange for the risk of getting caught. I've been pubs-only since the beginning and I honestly thought, based on what I see every single day, that no one even cares about actually playing the game in pubs. They just queue up, drop hot, die miserably, and quit. As if the whole thing is just some kind of practice or warm up.

But you're right. They're there this season. Everywhere. Not fun.

Agreed.

I sometimes run as fast as I can, strafing and jumping and all of a sudden out of the blue someone is right on my 6 and killing me in two shotgun hits.

I don't hear any indication that a player is coming towards me, no portals, no revenant jumps, no octane pads...nothing. And no it's not even Ash most of the time.

The cheating is out of control and game breaking at this point in time.

FreyouzSounds of enemies are literally based on where You look at, You can sometimes observe this when hiding behind certain objects in the game, is the source of sound is blocked from Your view You won't hear it - it's literally trash. Also footsteps? Non existing, especially when someone is outside of Your FOV (field of view). I literally can't hear anyone behind me.
