Since Blizzard prefers China and its hackers, I’m just wondering what’s the best way to beat them? Had a very blatant prediction aimbot tonight with someone using Soldier and his buddy damage pocketing him as Mercy. Basically anything you jumped or fell off a building or platform he would track you from the height of your arc all the way down to your landing. In addition he 100% continuously hit HS on our tracer the second she got out of a blink or rewind. Never missed.
We never stood a chance. Now normally in a regular FPS we’d be totally screwed but in OW there are some ways to get around it. We are plat/gold so clearly we were running around with our heads chopped off. So how do you get around the aimbotting cucks out there who for some reason can’t get out of gold but have 75% accuracy on Soldier. Suggestions on all classes would be appreciated! Winston Dva combo for tanks? Maybe Genji for DPS to reflect? Healers get effed so hard tho so I’m not sure what to do there.
work as a team and dive the hacker. Also tanks have a fair shot at getting the so called hacker. But overall if they are playing smart you wont catch them off guard.
Funny enough this is what me and my friends noticed. After the match we watched the replay and saw he wasn’t able to hit strafing targets for whatever reason but the moment we made predictable movements (Tracer blinks, jumping from ledge to ledge, off platforms, even getting booped) he would track us perfectly. So do current aimbots not lock on properly to strafes? Or is it that most aimbots are harder to get through vs a prediction bot?
Thanks all for some of these tips. I will keep them in mind and try to convince other team members to swap to certain picks so we can do our best to beat the hackers. Again if ya’ll got more tips I’d love to hear em.
Its an intentional miss by the bot. Its meant to shroud his activity so people wont think he’s cheating. How can he be aimboting if he misses? Also they will go idle for a little bit to change bots and switch characters. This makes it harder for anticheat to track.
The best thing to do, which you probably won’t like, is to stop playing and find something else. It really reduces your stress levels marvelously. But if you don’t want to go that route, try getting as many of your friends who do play to group up and play together. It won’t make that big of a difference, but at least you should have teammates you can count on not throwing.
Whether its sad or not, we kind of attribute hacker games similar to throwers, one-tricks, smurfs, etc. Sad that this is even a thing but we just immediately count the games as losses/washes. We do our best at that point to beat them, almost like a game within a game. Well we know we are being FORCED to lose, lets try to break the game anyways
