Rampent Cheating Lately

I'm on Xbox One, and I'm noticing more and more players masquerading as someone on your side when really they're playing for the opposite team. i.e. a plant on the zombie team, or a zombie on the pla...

Its a glitch they are exploiting either just bounce the lobby or keep killing them until it gets fixed.

I did quit the last time this happened, after I reported them and asked everyone else in the game to do the same. They need to be banned though.

good luck with banns if i cant even get banns for trolls that deserve it WIITH VIDEO EVIDENCE i highly doubt they are gonna bann players for using a glitch thats been in the game from the start but has only become widely known and exploited cause of word of mouth

  That's why I ask everyone else playing in the match to report the cheater too. If you get 6-7 people all reporting the same player, then yeah they will get banned. And not just from PvZ but risk their whole account being suspended.
  
  A couple of weeks ago, I was in a PvZ2 match and out of no where another player sent me a message calling me a very disgusting word. I reported them, and 3 days later MS thanked me for the report and informed me this person was banned. So reporting does work!

    While the exploit does need to be patched you can counter it through the use of the Gnomish Perpective hat if you actually have it available to you; it won't be fooled by the glitch and will still display the cheating player as an enemy.
    
    I haven't encountered this all that much on PS4 and the couple of times I did I either changed lobbies or put the on Gnomish Perspective.
    
    One more subtle form of cheating I've noticed is players on the opposite team sending you Friend requests hoping you'll add them right away because then they can track your movements on the map better because the game singles out your Friends a little more distinctly.
