Replays confirming cheaters in Competitive

General Discussion
1

Perhaps this topic should go in the Competitive discussion, but I leave it here because my point is that thanks to Blizzard implementing the replay feature, I can now confirm when players I think are suspicious are actually cheating by going and examining the replay from their perspective.

Previously, you would have nothing but that fishy feeling and it would engender trash talk or the “he’s hacking!” because you had no way to go and check quietly later.

Yesterday I had a competitive match where I was playing support on WP:G. There was a very fishy player on the their team playing SOLDIER, and then later WIDOW on their attack round (We attacked first).

We did very badly on the first round barely capping A, but this player’s aim was very suspicious within a very short space of time.

I go check the replay after the match, and low and behold, BLATANT aimbot/triggerbot. Even though he’s only using it on and off during engagements, the snaps when he doesn’t know who to target next are absolutely obvious, even to an untrained eye, I assume.

I’ve played FPS games for over 20 years, since Doom2, Rise of the Triad, Half Life, Quake, et cetera, so I’m well versed with spotting hackers.

Anyways, I wanted others to know about this, am interested in any thoughts on cheaters in competitive at such a low ELO (bit concerning in Gold if you ask me), and would appreciate feedback.

Of course, I don’t expect you to take my word for it, so please see for yourself. After watching the replay, I hit the Share button to get a replay code of

Got a time frame you want us to see? Matches are pretty long

Found a cheater through replay because insta snapping into heads all over the place as it was suspicious before checking it out, reported it with timestamp. Never got a notification that my report got him punished. Blizzard just doesn’t care anymore checking reports.

First 60-120 seconds of the match, as I say very suspicious in a short space of time

Blizzard have said in the past they do action with the report they get but they never make a feedback to the one that was making the report

Maybe I’m just out of touch but I didn’t see anything super crazy. You mentioned aimbot, and I’m just not seeing it

They just have a good mousepad and/or gaming chair

He ain’t hacking. Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Yes they do.

You get a big fat message ingame that tells you action has been taken.

Please put it on 0.5 speed, tell me what happens at 00:56 and 01:01 from the Soldiers perspective. And multiple times before and after these timestamps. Can’t believe you can’t notice it.

You only get a confirmation on action being taken against someone if they reached the high level of number or reports where their account is looked into.
