Agree. I'm Plat now, have hundreds in skins, and love the game. Yet, I'm not playing much now because the hackers are ruining the experience. PC is so littered with cheaters it is absurd. If they don't get some control on it soon I believe a large portion of the legitimate players on pc will leave. Even some pro streamers are getting sick of the cheaters in ranked and how it changes the meta to extream camping. Respawn is running out of time in my opinion. I'm getting tired of waiting for a time that I can play without cheaters, but half a year into it and I'm losing hope. If Season two concludes without a major change to cheater ratio in games, I'm done. No way I'm going to continue the third season of this crap. That's probably in line with most people too.

Yeah blocking a countries access does nothing VPN's are free and publicly available to everyone. Anyone who has ever pirated (mostly everyone now a days) has used VPN's and other measures to protect identity and their access points. Basic stuff.

I already stated there is only ONE WAY to even remotely prevent (help prevent) hackers from doing this time and time again. That's to implement what Counter-strike did before they went full * and went F2P completely. That is offer a prime membership of 15-20$ (one time payment) with registering a phone number. Numbers can be made on free apps but that payment can't be faked. So everytime they finally DO get a ban they'll have to pay the membership to play with OTHER prime members.

The game can still have it's f2p model for those who don't want to pay, but the hackers will probably be ALL over the place in that. This makes it so they have to keep dishing out cash (which benefits respawn) if they want to keep playing the game in ranked or even casual with other PRIME members. Because since they use the source engine they can NEVER prevent this game from being riddled with hackers. The engine is rather old and faulty to hell hence why CSGO hacking was always extremely prevalent and why they had to make separate leagues outside of the actual game with better anti-cheats and people who did nothing but reviews footage.

Listen guys. Stop saying banning VPNS doesn't work. It does, because it forces people to buy new vpns each time they get IP banned. The only people who say it doesn't work is those who have something to gain from VPNS.

@EA_Blueberryplease respond if you guys actually IP ban or not and why/why not

  We do not discuss what our anti-cheat teams do on the backend. That would only benefit those looking to play the game illegitimately. 👍

  You're actually wrong. I personally use a gaming vpn, not a generic one. There's a difference. Even if someone would get ip banned, It would have no effect on the vpn they're using.To gain what? Basically to play on different servers because I have friends living on different continents. Ping would range from 50 to 150 pending on the server. All have 0% packet loss. Only problem would be a short latency lag(not often at all) which then gets you killed cause the other squad sees you before you see them. So, before you start making comments or stating "facts" that are blatantly ignorant , put down your bowl of cereal and do some research

@VisualfEX Idk .. I don't know if I feel right paying for a game I was cheated against to be frank ... not sure how many others will either. Wish there was another way. If they do choose to make it pay to play, there's gotta be more layers of security along with it- if I'm assured it's safe to play I'd get it, sure.
There must be a way to recognize the third-party even if it's ran after Apex is opened or if something is even moving the mouse, aiming for the user, or is seeing undetectable units. This .. sucks 😬
