Reporting Cheaters clearly isn't enough...

Flashback 1-3 weeks ago in diamond. I get killed by a Gibby blatantly aimbotting. His name is now burned into my head because its stupid. I reported him multiple times and carry on.

Fast forward to 20 minutes ago, after waiting for a game in masters for almost 10-20 minutes, Where we push a team and the same Gibby downs us in 1 mag of a flatline. Hes #246 Apex Predator...

Why isn't he banned yet? Why does it take so long to ban someone who hits 80% headshots when he's not even aiming at them?

Is there anywhere we can send our proof of cheaters that will 100% get them banned as soon as they see it? I've tried Tweeting @Hideouts but he never sees or replies to them so I don't know if it works. I want there to be a way to get rid of these aimbotters as soon someone reports with visual evidence.

And please, any moderators reading this, don't post the link to ez anti cheat report. with the amount of times I've tried it, it feels like it does nothing.

Also when someone that you have reported has been banned, give players a good message on how they are helping keep this game clean. It helps.

    @PholanxTTV  hideouts is probably up to the eyeballs in cases to look through so I'm not surprised it's not come to anything yet.

    I would honestly hate to see the backlog of cheating cases that still need to be reviewed, nightmare fuel for sure lol.

    Then there should be more people who you can send these videos to,

    Just today i have been killed by the same Gibby 3 times, I so badly want to name him so someone can do something about it but i guess we aren't allowed to shame scum on the forum.

    I don't care about their feelings, they clearly don't care about ours, players that play legit just feel so dead after getting killed by an aimbotter.

    @PholanxTTV The video submissions are on his own account. This is not a requirement of his job but instead something he added on to help players see hey we are trying to make a difference. The in-game reports have everything they need to see it's just a matter of being able to get to them. Well over 1 million users play apex legends at any given time. With only so many employees to handle these concerns. So the other TOS team members who don't want videos sent to them is understandable. As hideouts himself has mentioned he receives reports/videos in the thousands every single day which just pile up. He did this on his own account to try to make a difference. Normally video evidence for concerns like these are not accepted so him accepting them is good but at the same time overwhelming.

    Then surely Respawn should hire more people to ban people that are blatant cheats, heck I would even volunteer to do this for free. I get hes doing it in free time, but again, it isnt enough. we need more people doing this to lessen how many cheaters there are.
