Ran into a soldier player clearly using two seperate macros to avoid bullet spread.
3 sets of a 3 round burst (brrrt, brrrt, brrt,)
and another, like a slightly slower firing M1 so that he can hold down fire but bullet spread never kicked in (ie every shot pinpoint accurate hitscan)
I could tell by the in game sounds and the kill cam right away (though my teammates couldnt), and later he confirmed he used razer software to program these. He said its legitimate because it is gamer software that came with his gaming mouse, and that blizz even endorsed one brand of mouse with these specific capabilities.
Is this user cheating by letting the cpu aid his clicks? Or is it all legal software use?
I honestly think it would be less effective than just learning it manually. It’s at times best to burst followed by slight scatter anways…sometimes. If you did it the same every time I’m not sure it would be the best way to go.
I saw someone claim that multicombos are bannable like a roadhog hook kill combo or some of genji’s former animation cancel combos, but if true, it still stands that soldier shooting is still a oneaction macro rather than a multicombo.
For example brig has some animation cancel combos you could probably macro right now if you really wanted to.
To me personally since it’s impossible to prove or detect, bliz should just make it so that doing it doesn’t give an obvious advantage. Make it a gradient fall off rather than an abrupt scatter, etc. Get rid of crazy animation cancels, etc.
So if using that “gaming” program to run a scripted set of events upon a keypress, would it be legitimate to use a similar program such as AutoHotKey to achieve the exact same result?
edit pretty sure its against the rules since it goes against “maximum of one action per button press”
There is no way blizzard can stop this. You can set a macro to a mouse button to mimic your actual shots down to the mili second with one key, another key for burst, back to manual aiming. But say you are playing Moria and healing your team. Instead of having to press your black orb or w/e you have it macrod to auto cast when off cd while at the same time healing. IS that considered cheating? How would you tell? Maybe that person is just very aware of their cds. Mcree, when you run outta bullets and have a macro to auto dash to reload on the spot, how could you tell for sure if he’s cheating? He’s maybe just a skilled mcree main and very skilled player. Me personally these kind of macros are just simply making the hero easier to play or simply outplaying someone with inferior hardware. (If you played World of Warcraft you get the idea) But when it come’s down to reducing recoil you are manipulating what the hero was not intended to do and therefore cheating/hacking.
Lol dude you are cheating. It has nothing to do with “inferior hardware”. You gaming the game…to get unfair advantage over less informed players.
I’ve heard from some pro somewhere, that binding mouse wheel for wall riding in pro play was not allowed. They had to rebind. So I think blizzard doesn’t want things like this in the game, it’s just they aren’t going to punish you, they rather fix it some other way internally until you can’t use whatever it is to “cheat”.
It should be bannable. Having quality hardware, better monitors with higher resolution/refresh rate, higher mouse DPI, more buttons, keyboards with quicker actuation time, headsets with better sound quality, etc. are all items that give the player an advantage in terms of game quality. Aimbots, wallhacks, whatever, and macros, give the player a mechanical difference. Aimbots aim for you. Subsequently, a macro to burst shot with S76 shoots for you. It takes away an element of gameplay (shooting) so all you have to do is aim. If it isn’t considered an offense, it should be.
