If im being honest
I truly believe a ban wave on soft and hard cheaters would take out such a large part of the population of players it frightens EA / Respawn to pull the trigger. Not a game goes by in Ranked that 10%...

@13lack-0ut@EREGDSI totally agree with you guys. The cheating in this game is on another level. There are so many cheaters, it's unbelievable.
I have around 4k hours in this game and spotting cheaters is really easy for me. So many people are using wall hacks, especially in arenas. No recoil scripts and soft aimbots are the norm for apex legends.
There are so many cheaters in ranked br at every start of the split/season, it is almost impossible to grind to master in the first 2-3 weeks because of the crazy amount of cheaters. I got master 2 times so far but always at the end of the split/ season, cuz grinding at the start it's just not possible.
So many people are abusing the aim assist with strike packs and the no recoil mods they provide. Console cheaters are queueing with 1 pc player because they want to aimbot in pc lobbies with their strike packs and the extra aim assist or maybe they are boosting the pc player, who knows.
Also I can say as a double master player with 20bomb/4k, that in some situations the recoil of guns is beyond me. I just can't hit stuff very accurately with flatline at range or with devo/havoc/99 etc. So don't trust the people saying that you can master the recoil by just playing the game. To be able to control the recoil on guns you have to spend weeks in the firing range, practicing recoil patterns and even then you won't be able to counter the recoil perfectly, because humans are not robots.
@Tad844 I can't prove it of course nor I cba to invest time in something that is obvious to me but I also think there are quite a few tale-tale signs when someone is hacking:
- bullets are flying straight even when people strafe (try it out in firing range say with r99 and then see someone "pro" lasering with r99, you will get what I mean)
- people just hit every consecutive shot on your - even very good recoil control + enemy strafing would lead to 1 or 2 bullets being missed, but in hack cases, you just feel it in-game and see it in death recap that they just went 10, 12 straight or more and deleted you from full health to 0 in one go
- with softbot and aimbot you can even see bullets curve into hitbox, yesterday even saw one case (reported) where a dude was already moving a crosshair to the left but bullets kept flying more to the right
- with these pro jitters and memory geniuses who know each bullet's recoil pattern crosshair just stays dead-on, if I would know how to measure it I am sure it would be pixel perfect (corrected for player's movement).
@hayhor and probably many more are pointing out that people like me are bashing potentially legit players - fair enough, but that's not the biggest issue of this game as there are people who don't even analyze the potential hacking cases but just go straight from "oh you killed me in one go, ok I will hack now then" which is this community's (and a few more before this game) bigger problems.
