Re: Something I have noticed watching streamers...Another Cheater post..

Shroud got accused of cheating since years... BUT... since he is a former proplayer no one knows for sure except him.

Maybe he runs some Makros (like a lot of people actually do) or not... it doesn´t matter, since you can´t proof it as long you´re not at his home watching him while he is playing.

On the other hand, he mostly performs in his streams better than he does at every single public event where he doesn´t use his own PC..... but still you have to proof it when he is playing at home, since it´s the only thing that realy matters.

Btw, if you compare him with dizzy (who is actually extremly good at apex) you´ll realize a huge amount of differences. Dizzy for example has recoil, misses more shots, snaps less, uses sliding more often, changes position frequently (but still gets a huge amount of kills). 

And shroud is just running around in open field, hits most of his shots, even locks on enemies and it seems there is no recoil, uses sliding not so often.... overall playing this fastpaced game pretty slow.

.... and yet i can´t say for sure if he cheats or not.

It would be funny if shroud one day stops gaming and reveals that he actually cheated all the time 🥳

A similar thing did a friend of mine... was a cs1.4-1.6 pro player too for many years (before streaming got popular) and after that i played a lot of FPS with him. Now he grew up, has a family and kids he told me, while we were drinking a beer in his garden, that he cheated all those years and never got caught, but realy feels sorry that i often had a hard time fighting against him. It wasn´t even that expensive for him since he had a Lifetime account for a cheatprovider so he got all for free. Nowadays he has only time for singleplayer games, so no onlinecheating anymore.

  • Recoil is very easy to control in this game (if I come from a game of PubG, I always massively overcompensate at start). I don't find it hard to believe at all that some1 with years (I mean literally years in gameplay time) can make it look like absolutely zero - the patterns are fixed, simple and easy to learn.

    And I agree that Shroud is a bad player overall - very little game sense, no map awareness. I guess that's what fragging noobs all day long for years does to you (good aim is all you need for that, so why bother learning the rest?)...

    P.S. Fixed recoil patters is a terrible idea that belongs back in 1995. It's just a matter of investing a million hours in learning the patterns to gain undeserved advantage over casual players. PubG did it right, everyone should learn from them, not copy an outdated game like CS.

    You realise if You're using gaming mouse logitech etc You can setup scripts/macro for mouse to reduce recoil to 0 right. A lot people do it and You can't detect it. Also I saw him picking up sometimes r99 missing whole clip on a guy and on next video he full clips him with basically 0 recoil. He also abused every glitch in game flying etc.

    Hey all, please do not share links to any cheats you may see as doing so is technically a breach of the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines.

    From here on out, any sharing of videos or naming of users and accusing them of cheating or linking to cheating sites will result in bans.

    If you are in game and suspect a user of cheating then please report them by following the steps in this link: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

    We take all reports very seriously and will fully investigate.

  • "A lot of people are cheating just because they can't be caught" is a very dark view of life. I tend to believe that most (>99%) people don't cheat because they don't find it fun and they do have an internal sense of fairness. I'm pretty sure everyone without exception would consider using mouse macros as cheating, so I really doubt many ppl use them (I'm pretty sure some of the 1% do, but not many).

    Using glitches once or twice can be fun, especially if you don't feel like gaining big advantage. Finding and using things that are already broken is morally quite different to intentionally breaking them yourself.

    Shroud does seem to like using the glitches to boost his viewership and he has even been banned from PubG at least once for playing along with a cheater (riding on a flying car; he didn't seek out the cheater though, didn't squad with him, the cheater stream-sniped and stalked him and approached him himself). I would have a hard time resisting doing it once just for luls too though. Completely breaking game physics can be funny once or twice; would get old and boring fast though.

  • i wish you were so effective banning hackers and macro users as you are deleting proofs.

    also the links that was deleted are all over twitch and are public access, i don't see anything wrong with sharing information that is shared by the subject itself.
  • Using mouse macros will get you banned. Ask around and you will find people banned for using no recoil mouse macros. It's easy to detect.
