Cheaters were already invading overwatch 2

Thing is, complaining is fine. Complaining when you don’t have all the information is pointless, and if someones doing that they deserved to be picked apart.

The entire forum is pointless and unproductive except maybe the bug report section, but they seem to neglect that too. Corporate apologists deserve to be picked apart even harder in my opinion. This whole thread would have just died if there weren’t people complaining about people complaining.

I mostly agree.

People bizarre complaints are funny to read sometimes.

If there are already same posts with exactly the same subject and argument in the forum as mine, i do not apologize, I will continue to do so and wont stop until blizzard fixes the problem, you can keep crying under my posts if you want i don’t really care.

See you posting on this subject going forward because while they might make improvements, it will always be an issue on some level.

I stated in my post that fighting against cheaters is not easy at all, and i understand since i’m playing a lot of multiplayer game. I didn’t want them to eradicate every single cheater but i’m expecting something at least as good as valorant anti cheat, the thing i don’t want to hear is “we’re working on it” after release and see cheaters in every game possible.

Yeah you cannot give a bad image to the game, people might think the game is actually abandoned and devs are working only to milk wallets in the next big update.

No its against ToS to advertise specific cheats for obvious reasons. Also Blizzard has announced banwaves before.

The reason you do not though is you do not want to broadcast “hey we just updated our anti cheat so if you are cheating dont log in for 2 weeks until it gets cracked again”.

but it doesnt look like he is trying to publicly report that cheater =)

He still is by posting the video though!

Requiring a mobile phone is a step in that direction. Losing an account tied to a phone number means slightly more and makes it a bit more difficult to just rinse and repeat.

This bot might actually be one of TF2’s bots. The most common type of bot plays sniper, always aims at the heavens, and immediately clicks your head the moment it gets Line of Sight. This Soldier bot reminds me of that, aimed at the ground until it gets LOS on a enemy, then snaps to heads and starts clicking them.

That’s completely untrue.
You can have a ton of phone number nowadays, that doesnt stop anything or anyone.
That can probably slow down the smurfs (yes for sure they did something about that since it’s not one of their income anymore), even tho i can make 5 accounts just by borrowing phone number of my family member…
But a cheater who is used to cheat and pay hundred for tools to do so, phone number can’t stop it from cheating at all, there are more determined to remove fun from other players

All I said it was in a step in that direction and it makes it more difficult, not sure exactly what I said was untrue… there’s no silver bullet to prevent smurfs and/or cheaters.

Loot at Valorant, advertised their elite anti-hacking system as basically one of their selling points that invades your PC far more than it should, and people still cheat in that game too.

All the developers can do is slow them down.

We can all agree on that, They can’t stop 100% of them that’s not possible but surely can stop most of them and i hope they will do so

Anticheat 101: Don’t tell the cheaters what you’re doing with the anticheat.

i seen that cheat on other replays. does the player actually spin like that while playing. would be so disorienting lol…

They don’t need to talk deep about technicality lol
Even tho cheaters don’t need blizzard authorization to figured out what going on behind the anti cheat

Generally no - on their side, their viewpoint looks normal. At least that’s how it works in other games.

Source: dealt with cheaters as a TF2 server admin for 10 years.

Makes sense that the people making the hacks/bots would do so for more than one game to maximise their profits. But so long as Blizz keeps banning them, their impact will (hopefully) not be as great as they are in TF2.

TF2 relies on people actively kicking bots. But Blizz relies on reporting the players as well as the AC. If an account gets a lot of reports it gets banned permanently.
