Cheating in overwatch

I have had it. I am tired of calling it out. 6 straight games the same player aim botting in my games. I said something and I was the one flamed while he got exposed. I have had it. I blew a fuse. He started trash talking and I just let him have it. I deal with this same player every night and for 9 seasons he still has not been banned. Now I am fairly sure I am gonna be perma banned for exposing a cheater.

Therefore I am completely done with this game. You are far more likely to get banned for speaking than cheating and I refuse to support this crap anymore. Best of luck to you all still giving this crap your time and energy. I am sick of wasting my time with a game whose devs clearly dont give a crap about the integrity of their game.

if it’s truly been that long he’s probably not hacking.

We have a top 500/champion leader board flooded with repeat offenders cheating. You really think people cant skirt passed the system when we know the anti-cheat is dogwater. You are delusional

Yeah, this game support aimbotters. Thats why you see them every day hacking in groups without any consequences.

Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest as even EA’s anti cheat has been recently shown to work instantly against even the most sophisticated cheats designed for Call of Duty and Overwatch. Very few cheaters go rage mode so a lot of players assume they are as rare as unicorns when third party anticheat developers have said that on average around one third of players in multiplayer titles are using some form of cheat ranging from simple scripts to expensive DMA cheats.

Anyone who thinks cheaters get immediately cleaned from Overwatch is delusional, the way Activision Blizzard implemented their anticheat solutions across all of their games is based on player perception. That means unless a cheater gets reported by many people across multiple lobbies and usually multiple days in a row, the anticheat will just not kick in. Plus it’s one of the easiest to bypass and usually the cheats are available within hours of a major or minor update to the game.

Don’t believe me? Keep an eye on the top 500 leaderboards, they always get smaller over time as pretty much every season there are at least a few dozen cheaters in there. Worst I’ve seen was a drop from 500 players to a little over 300 some seasons ago. Yeah, cheaters are definitely not a problem, how dare we ask for competitive integrity in a competitive game.

I just got out of a game with a 3 stack of cheaters. Dude legit tried to say he was better then me
then proceeds to track a zenyatta thru a wall. He said he heard the zen footsteps. They dont even try to hide it bc there is no point. Half the playerbase refuses to except this game is flooded with cheaters.

he just has big ears. he doesn’t cheat

Wrong, and this has been proven so many times i cba to count anymore.

Blizzard do banwaves in all their games, no exception, and they do that towards the end of the year, however most hackers stay undetected.

Yep that’s usually how it goes.

Not half the player base but a select few who have the awareness of a peanut and the reasoning of a chimp.

A lot of them don’t even have the kill cams activated and even if they were to watch a replay, they’d be unable to spot the obvious tracking from behind walls and the subtle yet also obvious lock-ons.

True.

I mean Youtube is riddled with ‘OW2 hacks/aimbot/wallhack/ESP’ etc and they get uploaded every single time the game is updated. That’s on top of all the forums out there where people post and sell their expensive cheats.

It’s disgusting, but what’s more disgusting is the fact that Blizzard doesn’t give a damn and rather keep relying on player reports


The only time live bans happen is if a high profile streamer gets one in their game and report them and there’s quite a few Blizz employees who watch their streams, or they use old cheats that have already been detected.

Got a replay (rather 6) or was this just story time?

Yeah, why give code to trolls like you? :arrow_heading_up:

Because “I saw a UFO” makes you sound crazy and “here’s a video of this UFO” allows for discussion on what the literal “unidentified flying object” might be.

This is a place for discussion, and it shouldn’t take 2 paragraphs and 152 words to do what 6 characters could accomplish better.

Yes but no discussion with people like you. Explained below:

Keep your chimp job with a peanut reasonings. Thanks for exposing yourself.

Lol only if you continue to refuse to, but having 10k posts suggests that having discussions is almost an addiction for me at this point.

Keep projecting I guess lol

no one in reality supports aimbotting atleast with console its starting to come to an end and its probably not long before it starts happening on pc that software and hardware based aimbotting is detected

Unfortunately, cheat developers will always be one step ahead, but the effect cheating have on games can be diminished greatly, if the game’s developers actually took their time with setting up an actual anti cheat software, which so far has not been the case with Overwatch 2.

It’s not that people support cheating in general, but they just don’t know what to look for.

That’s excellent logic, and is a perfect reason to:

SHARE YOUR REPLAYS

I have shared countless codes of people cheating. You are just a useless troll who constantly says the same thing as if anything is gonna change. Show me a code, show me a code and it does absolutely nothing. Imagine being this self-righteous.

What’s 6 more compared to “countless” then?

Make it countless+6.

Ouchie, you hurt my feelings

I certainly don’t expect it lol, but it is warranted and is a nice surprise when we actually do get replay codes to analyze.

It shows that you either saw cheating, disproves the cheat, and helps the community better learn to identify the difference between cheats, skill, non-cheats, and other factors that may look like cheating but isn’t.

You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution. But if you’re going to complain about it, it’s weird you’d take the former path rather than the latter.

Oh God I hope I never end up on your level my man, I’d rather not imagine it if that’s ok with you?

Tbh he will never give you a single replay, like the others, you ask gently a code, with the guy he suspects of cheating (and a timestamp eventually) but sadly they don’t have it anymore and they say “you’re a troll”, they don’t want to think, they just want to rage against something/someone


Only 1 guy did it, he was wrong about the guys cheating but at least he shared the replays. ^^
