Why does this happen every time.
Person A accuses player of cheating
Person B doesn’t think it is cheating.
Rather than saying thanks for your view, person A immediate goes on the defensive and insults people.
It is ok. Sometimes people think others are cheating when they aren’t. And occasionally people think players aren’t cheating when they are. No need to get defensive about it. You are allowed to disagree.
If you 100% think someone is cheating and have reported them. Good. After that it doesn’t really matter.

No they don’t. The report system is easily abused.

Even if we entertain the thought that the system was abused, than we have to come to the conclusion many people thought he was cheating too
I agree, don’t let these people come in here telling you it doesn’t happen. Companies are making so much money and their patrons are among overwatch players. So more than likely that person who keeps telling you to “git good” is using hacks. I don’t care for hacks, as I’m not trying to impress people but have fun. The way I see it, if these players were so coordinated, why aren’t they playing pro sports making millions?
Anyway, here are a list of cheats they use to air their dirty laundry.
Console: Cronus Zen, XIM, Strikepack, Reasnow, Titan, and so on.
PC: Aimhelper, Gosu, Skycheats, Aimsharp, Securecheats, Engineowning, and so on.
How do you stop people from using such cheats?
Daily challenges that have more people watching games and players. AI, that can determine frequent unrealistic gameplay. End of game states that show head shot percentages, and weapon accuracy to everyone.

This can be a problem. I mean, I’m playing a lot better then some players in my team and yesterday enemy moira told me that my aim is insane, asked my rank. I said gold-plate. He called me a liar and said I’m much higher.
Point is, i tired to see how cheaters in this game ruin it and that makes ranked nothing more than cheaters battlefield when one cheater vs another. They have their rank as result of this playing and can easily go up, while i have to work hard to climb a little then get dropped by one of them only cuz i got him with headshot in the air, killed him and he want his revenge with triggerbot.

Just had a game that I’m pretty sure was a closet cheating duo in gold. The match started out decently on Hollywood. They were playing Hanzo/Widow against my team. Nothing out of the ordinary at first, but they do take first point. It amps up from there when we attack and I get pretty suspicious after I get sniped by Widow.
I’m sure someone will just say they are smurfs, but here’s your replay code. I’d advise you to watch most of the game from their perspectives. Even though I feel like that would be common sense, I’m sure some of you are watching 30 seconds of gameplay at best.

So we did win the game, but by the end of it when I looked at the scoreboard… it felt like we should’ve lost. I had ~35 eliminations with my other DPS at ~20 and their DPS were in the 40-60 range. Sojourn had 60 eliminations by the end of the game. I definitely felt like they were outperforming us in a lot of ways. My team would caught in certain situations and just fall apart. I really think the only reason we won was because I got them all to turn around at the last minute onto the point.
Or they are toxic, which a lot of people in the game now are, and they just get reported a bunch. Or, they are just really good, which again people just report out of spite.
Lots of factors. The replay posted was very clear that you have no idea what cheating looks like.
I’m not saying I haven’t seen any, I’ve seen more recently than before (free to play makes it that way). But the replay you posted is not conclusive evidence.
And this is a huge problem. Some people have really good aim but horrible game sense or teamwork. So they can’t climb despite their aim. Reporting them just because they are good at aiming is pretty messed up.
They’ve got access to throwaway emails and phone numbers, hardware spoofers, VPNs, VMs, F2P accessibility, etc. What is the point of banning them every few months when they’ll return soon afterwards? Maybe hiring a team that reviews match reports and flags suspected cheaters also suspending them from Competitive Play while under investigation? Maybe AI that can do the job of this human team far quicker and easier? What about pricing out the ban dodgers?
All these “ifs”
Well I wonder why the Hog is not a higher rank, he clearly shows good game sense and good aim, far above his rank

The “ifs” count though. Unless you can prove otherwise… which you can’t.
Again, I’m not saying cheaters aren’t out there. I’ve run across quite a few myself. But in reality, once they made it free to play, they removed all consequences from people’s actions.
An actually solid suggestion.
Unlikely given how many people are being laid off across the gaming industry. These companies suffer from massive short term thinking. This is why they heavily over hired during COVID and are now having to kick people out.
So whilst this is something they should do. I doubt it’ll ever happen.
Are you okay?
You sound stressed. Maybe it’s time for an overwatch break
To be fair, I have a lot if games where I do poorly in the beginning before I start to adapt to the rythm of my team. Sometimes i never find that rythm and am basically useless because its like there is no team, just individuals leaving it in fate’s hands. Or, as someone above tried to argue, swapped from McCree to Reaper and started dominating. Aiming with Reaper is different, it’s more about being at the right range and can be more forgiving.
There’s a ton of power in teamwork too. If some or all of your team starts, or is forced by the map, to have better positioning and participation, I can generate way more value vs fighting two or three targets hoping to trade before I die. Sometimes the change is hard to perceive, but that player isn’t being pressured like they were earlier in the match and they seem to “pop off”, when in reality, it’s all due to better team cohesion/teamwork.

The issue here is that you don’t trust Blizzards judgement only your own and that’s why the discussion is mute
That’s quite the reach, but ok.
And it’s moot, by the way…
It’s more obvious on consoles. Some of the stuff people pull off on controllers in the mid tiers is sus.
I remember playing as moria doing a very unconventional fade and some how the ash was able to follow me perfectly and head shot me less than one second of reappearing.
On the replay The crosshair literally tracked my invisible head perfectly.
Stuff like that is happening a lot more now.

Read again what you said pls…
Could you tell us where and when do you see something fishy in that replay?
Thx.
