Cheaters are that rampant?
Just curious how people feel about this. Without talking too much about streamers and hacker hunters. Just from a perspective of your own gameplay. Do you feel personally that you run into a ton of cheaters when you play? If so, What percentage of your games do you feel you meet a cheater? What cheats specifically do you think they’re using? Is there anything about their account or level that also makes you feel it’s an indicator they’re a cheater? Do you think matchmaking is broken and how so? And if you could humor me for the sake of this discussion how much time do you spend per week on the game and what is your level and what is your k/d (or e/d now I should say)?
No I don’t work for a video game company even though these sound like those questions. But I was speaking with my friends while playing last night. One of them was accusing a guy of cheating who killed him twice in a row. And then I smoked the guy and felt like he played totally normal he was just a bit of an over slider. And it made me think how quick people are to accuse cheats when they lose. I’ve been accused of cheating multiple times and I have a 2.2 e/d and I’m averaging like one BR win per week at best. I’m horrible average and I routinely get absolutely stomped. So being told I’m hacking when I get a kill is both funny and sad. How many other people has my sub average friend said is cheating that aren’t? I specifically brought up that I think they should bring back the ability to see your lobbies and other player stats like we could in the first gen war zone days. I think that would help squash some of these complaints. You say you got hacked on bc you got smoked and then you go check the lobby and see the guy who smoked you is a 1.3 and you probably got outplayed. But then if you got smoked in a .87 average kd lobby by a guy who is a 9.8 kd then you are justified in feeling something is off or broken. Same way big name people who were dropping 40 bombs and bragging about 10+ kd were being exposed for getting those stats somehow in .42 kd lobbies.
