Is it realy an avalanche?

Let's say there are 2-3 million cheaters (no one knows the exact number). But a total of about 50 million people are playing. So that's about 4-6%. An avalanche?

I dare say most of them come from East Asia, so it depends on where you are playing.

@RandomCZ , well it's all a matter of your own perspective isn't it? Some people have bad luck (like the asian servers) and run into cheaters 9 times out of 10. (Cheaters Legends)

While the EU servers are somewhat spared when it comes to cheaters. Right after the latest ban wave it was really good, maybe saw a cheater in 1 out of 10 games. But come this weekend and yesterday for example. During the evening i saw a cheater in maybe 4-5 out of 10 games.

So if we have 2 500 000 cheaters. And they all have at least 1 000 kills under their belt. that is 2 500 000 000 kills in total. If i make it easy for myself and divide it with the amount of players per game. It means that 41 666 666 games where ruined, if they actually killed everyone, including themself. So lets round that up to around 43 000 000 matches. I would say that it is a major impact on a game.

Actually all PC games are NOT filled with cheaters:
-Mobas like HoTS/DOTA2/LOL have virtually no cheaters outside of a few people using scripts to automate certain tasks/attack combos.
-Overwatch has 'some', but they generally need to keep it more subtle. They can't just blatantly rage cheat or they'll lose their paid account after enough people report them, and then they'll need to pay money for a new acct. Also by the design of overwatch it's actually possible to overcome cheaters (Or at least make life hard for them) just by drafting a counter to their particular hero and focusing them.
-FN also has 'some', but their AC is extremely strong and makes it pretty hard to stay undetected for long lengths of time. They also manual ban blatant offenders in less than a day usually. You would never see anything like the lvl 30+ cheaters from Apex over in FN. If you wanna cheat in FN you basically gotta make a few new accounts every day and get used to playing without skins and such.
In conclusion, Apex has two main issues. A weak anticheat system and it's a free game. You can get away with one or the other, but if you have both problems you're gonna have a lot of cheating in the game.

  Are you guys from asia or what? I play from northern europe, and honestly I haven't seen insane amounts of cheaters lately. Every now and then there are few, but not that much that I would start this level of a rant about it?
