Defense Matrix Anti-Cheat

Or w/e garbage title D team Blizz decided to call it.

Doesn’t matter since it only does 2 things:

Ban chat abuse immediately as if those people used every single known language slur with the speed of the Flash on redbull.

Allow actual rage hacking aimbotters to play for months, and months, and months, and months, and months, and months removing hundreds of thousands of players SR/MMR that they will never be compensated for, forcing unfair matches to continue when in OW1 the match would end almost immediately with only a slim hope of being caught in the “ban waves” which also do not work because the game is F2P and you can easily purchase accounts with skins galore.

Why is it that now, the only hope one team has against a rage hacker, is that someone on their team is also a rage hacker. And this seems to be the best case scenario for fair matches. Hacker v hacker.

Blizzard? Thoughts?

No joke these days if I see a cheater on the other team, I hope I have one on my team to at least make it more fair. That is the state of the game.

It’s nice to see someone who gets it. The cheating issue is the root cause of so many problems in this game, from the wonky matchmaker to the blow out games to the balancing. Yet no one wants to deep dive into it. Many cheaters peruse these forums, and feel like they have the benefit of the doubt with anonymity on their side.

The problem in itself is a deeply philosophic one, as deception, lies, taking advantage are all things humanity has done to tear each other down, and the world is a huge mess. It’s even in our games too, with egos to match and gaslighting as defense with an invitation to play their “game”.

Each person who chooses to cheat is hurting on the inside. Desperate for a win in this world or to not feel so steamrolled by life itself.
