Been playing today, haven’t seen one cheater where as for the past two months I’ve seen nothing but cheaters every match.
Suddenly ana’s can’t hit their sleep darts
Suddenly when I shatter it’s not met with an auto-sleep dart to cancel it
suddenly widows aren’t even being picked as a hero
suddenly nobody knows I’m hiding at a flank position
suddenly nobody has map awareness (no wall hacks)
suddenly…everybody is awful and I’m a god again
They HAD to of patched it, suddenly everyone sucks at the tier I’m at and there is no cheaters. If this is true, everyone play now while you can, matches are far more enjoyable. To all the cheating baby bois out there who will be de-ranking back to where you belong: hahahaha
Maybe, I need to play a little more to be sure, but at this point about 70% positive a bunch of people were banned or cheats got patched, or maybe the “free” cheats are now shut down and require a paid subscription (I don’t know how it works). It’s dramatically different the 6 or so matches I played.
I have noticed the last 3 or so times on Havana defense when I start on the gas pump in their spawn to contest the cart, attackers immediately notice me out of the gate. Even without a Hanzo.
Before that like 20 times in a row I could stall at least a good 10 seconds up to a whole minute before they noticed me. Seems very sus to me.
I’m confirming it, cheats were patched, or stopped being free, or people were banned. I played a bunch of matches tonight, not a single questionable ana sleep, everyone sucks and can’t aim, the few people who are good look completely legit, people don’t instantly know the millisecond I have my ult, no more people pre-aiming through walls.
Overwatch is tolerable again. Matchmaking is still broken.
If the attackers were looking out of the second floor window, they can see you setting up.
I always look out of that window to see if anyone sets up on the right side or on top of the gas pump. Also to hopefully see what sniper and tank there is on the enemy side.
Same as on gibraltar. Just look out of the window and see how the enemy sets up or if they trap the door. And definitely where the sniper is at.
Ok but its still weird how no one ever looked there before and now they all do.
One of the games someone on the other team said before the match “Hey I can see you” but I decided to stay there anyway. Then they come out with a Widow left side (for some reason its only ever a Widow who comes out that door) so I deleted her and got away.
When ever i see anyone up there, i use the side door.
In my games it’s usually an enemy hanzo or junkrat on top of the gas station.
And you can see sombra translocating up there if you’re looking.
You’d be surprised how often i warn people in chat, only for the warning to be ignored. And when the teammate dies they blame me for wallhacking XD
I just looked out of the window, that’s how windows work.
Or sym turrets. I hear the turrets be placed and warn my team, then get accused while the only thing i did was keep my ears open.
Those tricks trickle down and become stale in mid elos, it just takes a while because the mid elos are only putting in 1/10th of the time that high elo players do.
I’ve never seen anyone else do it when I’m on attack. But maybe it’s becoming popular so I need to be more careful. I saw some streamers who set up in the same spots I do on Ball like on Junkertown top left building by their spawn. I have mixed feelings about it because I am happy to see good players using my positioning but I am also unhappy that more people will start stealing my spots or looking for me there.
My favorite one is on Hollywood defense top left building, in 3rd person you can see them roll out and they can’t see you. So if they have a widow she usually goes on the high ground and you can come out and kill her. Or if not you just boop them all from behind and slam near the choke. Only downside is sometimes you get a team where by the time you do that 2 teammates are already dead. Even though it only takes a few seconds to pull off.
