Warzone cheaters migrating to apex?

As we all know that a lot of Warzone streamers/content creators are moving to apex. Because of that, people are concerned that the cheater situation in Apex might worsen. People are speculating that the cheaters are also migrating to apex. Google trends shows that there is an all time peak when it comes to "apex legends hack" searches at the time when people are moving away from Warzone (Apex's end of S9 and start of S10). Should the apex community or Respawn be concerned? On the other hand, popular streamers moving into apex is generally a good thing for the health of the game.

    @RockDokRockThose instances like you described with the valk are probably more related to connection than you know. On your screen she wasnt turned but on hers she probably was.

    @hayhor That's entirely possible.  When you are playing with a squad from different locations how can you tell who it affects?

    Considering one single handed dude was able to hack the game, and change in game files (cough Titanfall cough), then yes, I'm a little worried as to how effective the anti-cheat actually is.

    @RockDokRock You cant really tell what ping your opponent are until it's too late unfortunately. Get shot through a door or behind a box? Your opponent is on high ping. Get blitzed without seeing them. They may have better ping.....or they could be actually cheating.

    @hayhor I was thinking about that one after reading the Dev's blog, server pings, was wondering why they offer so many alternatives as to servers, wouldn't it even out the playing field to simply restrict servers to 10 at the most. I play on Virginia servers, 35 ping, but often ask teammates, and most of them have 100+. There's nothing more frustrating than an enemy shooting you when you've been behind cover for a good second only because he's playing in the past! lol

    @Gabrielmojo26 The people on 100+ are on those servers because they dont have any close to them or they have picked them to get away from whatever is close. I know people from SA that join NA because they hate the SA servers. Some have friends across the world. I play with EU people a lot and join them and have 100+ ping a lot. Sometimes they join me. What I will say is I tend to have a little bit better results on lower ping. Anyone claiming the high ping people do it for an advantage need to spend 100 days, 50 each way and see how things go. I have a couple years of both.

    @hayhor The thing is it's so hit and miss.

    I play with my Brother who is in Canada.  Some sessions we do really well.  Other sessions, it's constant insta-down and you have no idea what happened game after game.  Really frustrating and inconsistent.
