Got Called "Shady" While Playing As Widow

And it felt really good. Enemy Reaper spent the entire match trying to focus me, trying and failing spectacularly to sneak up on me (his idea of sneaking was teleporting right in front of my face for the easy headshot. A couple of times he did try to flank but I watched him do it and so when he popped out from behind cover I just popped him back to spawn.

Called me shady twice and accused me of always knowing where he was. Good times.

Tell me about the times you’ve been accused of cheating.

i once had an enemy widow call me a hacker(i was playing widow as well), they thought i was tracking them through the wall 1 time but i just had the luckiest flick ever. they thought for sure i was hacking but the rest of his team was like “nah, he aint that good” which was true since i had bronze elims i think and that was my first headshot the entire game.
if i was actually hacking i would have obliterated the enemy team instead of missing 90% of my shots

If you had the “Sorry” voiceline equipped you should have spammed it while t-bigging the corpse.

It’s what I would have done.

It was looooong time ago, when i was plaing zen in 3v3 with friend. Some mccree was doing only one thing- walking foward into someone face to stun and right click people- so i just hs him every time because he never try to avoid anything, he was walking straight at me and dieing. At the end he was spamming that im a hacker because how could i hit him in head every time…
Dont walk in straight line doing nothing, you are basicialy free targets.

Someone said “How are you only diamond” when I was playing Lucio. I’ve also had multiple death threats against me as Lucio in FFA.

I don’t recall anyone anyone ever accusing me of cheating in Overwatch.

Many times as Widow for jump shots.

A few times as Bastion for having good headphones and listening to my backline.

I even predicted that somebody would jump out from behind mid-battle once and just spun 180 and mowed them down.

“Well great i guess the Bastion can see through walls”

Says the guy who was emoting in my backline and using voicelines.

Or “What a bore”. What a wonderful voiceline.

Only as Widow and only when their team was utter trash. Not moving around and wondering why they get killed, ggwp

Got accused of aimbotting as Mei by a widow who was standing stock still in every sniper position she took. …guess she liked the taste of ice. Didn’t even win that game but I did keep their widow down.

I had 2 widows on my low gold account, where I play support.
Both got pocketet and flamed the other widow for getting pocketet by mercy. :sweat_smile:
Was hilarious, basically every kill got rezzed on both sides.
So they had a very vocal widow 1v1 in chat more or less

I know that feel. I got 4 headshots in a row as Widowmaker and then instantly destroyed Torbjörn’s turret after that and one of the opponents started raging at me and telling me to get out of their platinum games. I was having a really great game overall too. The best part about it was that I had 9hrs on Widowmaker at that point mostly from MH

I’ll never forget it: one time someone accused me for hacking on Pharah because I allegedly ‘never had to reload’.

Then I got PotG and it showed me reloading like every two shots fired. The person who accused me then just said ‘oh… nvm…’

Another time someone called me an aimbotter when I accidentally headshot a Tracer mid-blink as Widow (while I was aiming at someone else).

Good laughs

If you’re being accused of cheating then its a good bet the pool of people on or the MMR is not really grouping well. While it might “feel good”, it is ascribed that way because your either not playing at your tier, or not enough people are on and the same problem.

That being said, I put a lot of time into Mei’s alt fire, and make shots with it that surprise even me at range, plinking off Widows and sometimes Sombras at long range, etc. and have had people insinuate I was using a tool of some kind because most Mei’s rely on primary fire. I actually hurt my Overbuff stats because I don’t freeze people enough - go figure… I’ve also seen what i thought were some people using tools and all they were doing was just aiming the cross hair (Ashe’s are big on this) at a spot and just camping for a shot… not very impressive once you see it but at first glance it feels like a cheat shot.

When i first started OW on PC after moving from console.

It was one of my first competitive games on PC, I was probably still silver at the time.

I played against this Rein who built her shatter faster than I’d ever seen, i was genuinely impressed so I asked her how she did it.
I took note and promptly returned her 2 shatters +1 in under 3 minutes.

The Reinhardt on the enemy team was very impressed, which is when i realised i must look like a brand new player (low lvl, playing a starterpack hero, asking for advice in the middle of a comp game).
Instead of letting her correcting her, I just let her continue to shower me with praise for rest of the game, I blocked all her shatters for the rest of the round, I don’t remember what happened after that round but we won the game, and both teams GG’d.

I also once got back from a night out drunk as a skunk and i barely remember but I was playing widow and someone called me a hacker so I spawn camped them for the rest of the game since they were threatening to report me.
We lost but it was totally worth because they were frothing at the mouth by the end of the game.

Got called an aimbotter in Mirror DM after going on a rapid 8 player kill streak.

I mean I don’t blame the guy, I was going ham with headshots, and I definitely don’t play Widow at all.

Haven’t been suspended yet so I guess I’m not an aimbotter

Happens all the time in lower tiers called out by a Reaper after hitting every hook & consistently deleting him with Hog

So got called out by a Hanzo as Junkrat for landing grenades directly on his head at distance must have killed him half a dozen times that way it you’re gonna stand still then it is easy money made me feel good when i triggered him he started to chase me down then i started spamming have a nice day every time i killed him after that

Both were just really good games
9 times out of 10 a Reaper is gonna bust a Hog & Hanzo will delete Junk

my friend got accused of cheating by Kragie lol.

OTP is him.
And he not cheating, just the most insane player ever.
Other popular players have also considered that. He’s had crazy plays vs people like necros, and Kafeeee where they literally call him the best player in the world lol.

once my mouse unplugged and replugged with 8200dpi,
the mouse pointer crossed the screen very quickly and I accidentally placed 2 headshots as Mccree. I would have definitely reported that.

I once got a “nice cheats” in chat after my potg. I played Moira xd
