Blatant cheating

General Discussion

I see a player spinning around like a beyblade and getting nothing but headshots

is this really so hard to detect that they are cheating?

I don’t know what’s going on this season but the next ban wave can’t come soon enough.

Best approach is to view the reply in slow motion and for flicks.

Give time stamps, provide as much information as possible and log the report and move on.

Creating a new account is very easy for players who cheat. So only thing Blizzards want us to do is to log the report with as much information as possible.

It’s almost weekend. So expect more of this.

Cheaters are tooootally rare in overwatch (I’d know. Cuz Ive never seen them and im totes a good player so id totally be able to spot a cheater) and there is no war in ba sing se

I haven’t seen that in a while, thankfully, but I do get a lot of wallhackers. I watch the replays and they start tracking people through walls from their spawn when there is no Sonic Arrow or Widowmaker walls, or Symm turrets/Sombra hack.

Give it a few years and the cheating problem will be as rampant as TF2 if it keeps going unchecked.

It’s hard to detect because cheat makers make sure to keep it updated and hidden from anti-cheat otherwise no one would buy it. These are trolls and messing with hacked or alt accounts.

For someone that claims to know so much, you don’t seem to understand that no one actually looks at these reports.

What actually happens is the computer looks at the volume and bans automatically based on the report volume.

Even if you were correct, there’s probably a time stamp on the time of the report. Report it straight away and there will be an easier way to observe as the report itself will have a timestamp integrated by default.

Either way, just like your habit of using chatGPT it is impossible for an actual human to look over everything especially with the tiny budget OW2 has.

Yep those beyblade cheaters should be really easy for the server anti-cheat to detect and yet they’re able to go the whole game without the server stopping the game and banning them.

It’s too bad that they can only ban accounts instead of the player’s biometrics to lock them out forever. :smiley:

ran into two seperate cheaters last night
many toxic ppl, almost 1 per game

and the same toxic thrower i recognized from OW1 still not banned, same account, had him TWICE.

but dont say gg!

Defence matrix is a joke

I wonder why spin botters do not stick out to the system, since spinbotters can just go around spinbotting until enough people report him as its the most obvious form of cheating it tells me there simply is no anti cheat.

This…if the game and its anti cheat cant pick up spin botters than it only stands to reason the anti cheat sucks.

Like one of the spinbotters spinbotted all the way up to top500 without getting banned.
Now where you to say no no words every game you would be banned before reaching top 500.

Sadly people also believe the BS ban wave lie Blizzard keeps telling them, even if its true it changes nothing but allow these cheaters to go rampant all season long and when they “banwave” they are back instantly with freshly bought accounts and their cheats updated.

Like if they do banwaves they simply allow cheaters to play, if you can detect a cheat then act on it, don’t wait for weeks.

Wholeheartedly agreed. It’s time for something that actually bans and not skims like the terrible AI of Defence Matrix does. BattlEye sounds great right about now.
