Just played this one what about my bastion 1:47ish FBMDZ8

22

The Bastion that…fired his nade at nothing predictively? That can’t aim?

Kudos for actually providing a code but that’s just not cheating.

23

I literally have posted my gameplay on here. Weak bait.

24

You are just a troll obviously

25

I am honestly sick and tired of people in plat-diamond not missing on hitscan.

26

dammit…i was gonna say that!

replay codes please! i want to see the cheaters! ive never seen one!

27

but a lot of very popular games use those anti cheats…right?

i mean, i agree, im not in to the whole privacy invasion thing, which is the reason why i havent played Hell Divers 2, though it’s a game i really wanted to play…but i wont touch it as long as they use that bargin bin anti cheat they have

sadly, this is where weve come in gaming (actually, weve been here a long time). The cheat makers are always a few steps ahead of the gaming companies. Have we come to the point where we have to just accept that cheaters will always be there, and competitive games will never really be competitive? Seems the only way to have a shot at getting rid of the cheaters is to open yourself up to privacy leaks. Its just not a good situation

I mean, if you think of it that way, why even bother with anything competitive, since there will always be cheater?

kind of a damned if you do damned if you dont situation.

28

they need to fix the algorithms where i some dont have to suffer from people who either dont know what htey are doing or throwing deliberately

29

Also an issue but thats been a thing since the beginning

30

You showed me a code of a Silver (at best) Bastion and called it cheats…

31

I didnt say he was good he is bad for sure lol

32

And within 5 minutes they have made a new account and are back to doing what they do.

33

Yeah…bad and not cheating

34

Realistically, what could be shown as proof that wouldn’t be called circumstantial or heresay without having access to Blizzard’s internals?

35

you cant just magically make cheaters go away

36

Just played this one and watch the red team lucio at 10:30 undeniable and if you say otherwise just proves you are a massive troll XB0TGV

or even this one, very next game 5:03 sombra red team 58K8J3

37

I mean they have to find working phone number, which the amount places that actually work from a none provider is shrinking fast.

play through the kiddy pool.

unlock comp.

attempt to grind up the ranks again.

get banned repeat.

Or spend a lot of money to attempt to skip that.

38

I seem to recall CrowdStrike was a pretty popular 3rd party security service that made use of kernel level access, at least up until a few months ago when someone at the company made a seemingly innocuous root level boo boo and sent the patch out live. I can all but guarantee Blizzard’s kernel level cheat detection software wouldn’t be nearly as secure or bug-free as the aforementioned security software made by a security firm used by major corporations, transportation services, hospitals, schools, and governments around the world.

Ok you’re a troll. Got it, thanks for making it obvious

Pretty much. It’s always been—and always will be—an arms race between cheat software makers and their users vs anti-cheat algorithms and services provided to honest users. I suppose a heavy-handed solution that could work would be petitioning governments to step in, declare online cheating as a form of cybercrime attack (it does financially harm businesses!) and start up some kind of an enforcement scheme that finds and penalizes cheaters with heavy fines, but personally it’s not what I’d like to see our tax dollars wasted on, nor do I like the implications of inviting big brother into video gaming spaces for all the other negatives that would for sure come with it.
