How can you drop to silver if you don’t play the game anymore?

Nice now all we need is for Microsoft to do this and these losers can go back to bronze.

Oh my god, does it do it for PS4 too?
If so the game might be getting playable on console again!
Yoooooooooo, that’d be rad.

Indeed.

But it’s starting to be game over for silver Soldiers with braindead pocket Mercys playing with their feet getting to GM whilst watching Netflix. XIM is going to be next and it’s just a matter of time, we all know it. Oh, how I am looking forward to the salty tears of cheaters making topics.

We started with the “I was unfairly banned, I did nothing wrong!” crusade after Blizzard decided to crack down on toxicity. Please look forward to “I don’t know why I dropped from GM to silver, fix matchmaking!” and “Hitscans dead, please buff!” topics.

One word: Karma.

Unfortunately XIM stays. Only Cronus is blocked and even thats temporary because they are already working on a bypass.

Oh how the wheels always turn :slight_smile:

Using cheats is like a taboo subject because so many people use them. I think the devs know this and have accepted it. The reason I say this is because we’ve requested more end of game stats for your opponents such as accuracy, headshots, and so on. They have yet to give us such features.

That was in the last PS5 software update? Good news surely. Hopefully there won’t be a bypass in a few days.

using mouse and keyboard on console isn’t cheating.

Saying that is admitting you’re bad at the game if you use it, because you can’t keep up in a fair competition

i dont use XIM since i dont play the game on console anymore. am i bad at the game, sure am. but it’s not actually cheating.

Only a cheater would say that. Like, you know that right?

If it wasn’t cheating then they would let you use mouse and keyboard without having to jump through hoops to get it to work and with jank at that.

in your opinion, what is considered cheating?

It’s always funny what people consider cheating.

As a PC player, people have an advantage over me in almost every game because my computer is low quality. Do I call them cheaters though? No, lol. It’s exactly the same with someone using a keyboard and mouse on console. They just have better hardware. Whether it’s “accepted by blizzard” (because they don’t feel like putting the development cost into making K+M work), doesn’t really change cold hard facts, lol.

Personally, I’ve always considered cheating to be modifying the game in an unfair way, like being able to see through walls, or auto aim. I’ve never considered having a better input device than someone else as cheating.

This isn’t really news. Consoles/games have been trying to block these things forever and the companies always just update them also, so that they are no longer blocked. I actually just googled it, cronus zen said they are working on a fix, but they don’t know how long it will take.

Using an unintended input method through the use of third party software first of all

Cheaters try to justify themselves every time even when they should know they’re in the wrong. You know this, right?

What if I were to play on console with a Dual Sense Edge controller, would that be considered cheating?

miscalculation and over reaction since sony’s controllers are absolute ***. USB isn’t proprietary. therefore, artificially blocking access to USB functionality is fraud by sony upon the 3rd party manufacture, as well as, fraud upon the players so that players have fewer valid options. PS5 controller is utter ***. its slippery af. triggers & bumpers are in the wrong location, to be so narrow. triggers/bumpers are AT THE TOP of controller instead of the corners where triggers/bumpers should be. bluetooth delay. zero underside rear buttons. no dpad & thumbstick re-positioning. what good is a console if you can’t actually control it, as a player, by actually properly controlling the content that you play on it? i’m not advocating for or against zen but this is illegal. since sony doesn’t own USB. standard issue PS5 controller is absolute *** compared to other controllers. imo, PS edge controller should have been standard issue and shipped with all PS5 consoles. you can’t ship PS5 with an *** controller then expect ppl not to use zen. youtube.com/watch?v=TkhDUBoA4lg
