A lot of fresh accounts showing up wall hacking and aim botting.
The hack reports need to be lowered to ban people.
Just report and move on.
They’ll be banned quickly enough. Blizzard has a risk department dedicated to snuffing out cheaters.
What they need is actual cheat detection. Free to play without actual anti-cheat is the quickest way to kill a game.

The problem is that cheat software developers directly realize profits as they sell cheats on a subscription basis which motivates them to continue developing their software.
The cheat developers rack several millions whereas Blizzard can’t realize the monetary value of developing anti-cheat measures; no one is gong to pay an anti-cheat subscription.
One solution I can think of is to make the cheat software less accessible. They should be banned by government bodies just like it is in South Korea.
Its a huge problem , But blizzard dont care and allowing it to continue

Actiblizz is more focused on banning people who type gg or call someone a potatoe in chat, than acually banning cheaters. There is a greater chance that they will ban someone who called out aimbots in game since cheaters will just mass report them.

I saw a few of these last night, including a Kiriko that never missed lol. Yeah, that was pretty easy to identify on kill replay when they started tracking targets through walls without any Widow or Hanzo present.

Maybe they should move away from a ftp model again. I bet cheaters won’t want to buy the game again every time they get banned for cheating. Cheating was never this bad in OW1.

This doesnt make any sense – all customers are a potential income source and its in their best interest to not lose players.
This is like saying Microsoft has no investment to patch security exploits because most customers dont pay a subscription fee for windows.

Even attaching a $1USD price tag to OW2 would go a long way towards discouraging rampant cheating.
