Reporting a 5 stack hacking premade

Me and my premade were playing overwatch when we queued into a 5 stack that were all hacking. we rewatched the game and i have also recorded footage of them hacking and i can not use the ingame report system because it doesnt help. As there is no live support i have resorted to posting here. I appologise to those it does not concern but i need to get these people noticed and brought to justice because they were also pretty damn toxic at the end of the game.game recording

Have you tried contacting the cyberpolice?
Coz blizz will probably do nothing

To my admittedly untrained eye, yes, that looks like hacking. The Bastion got three consecutive 100% kills with nothing but headshots while in Recon Mode, the second he went through the first choke. You were one of the people he killed and the crit-box tracking just looks way too perfect to be done by a human hand.

The wall tracking was blatant and obvious, especially right as the 1st point was being capped and that Genji backed off to try and take the high-ground window overlooking the point. Whatever POV you were using during that part of the playback shows the player clearly tracking Genji around the second choke, and up the wall where he was totally not visible, to the window.

Don’t know what to tell you about getting Blizzard to take notice. They either can’t or won’t do anything about this.

i know, i just didnt know where to post this, because the reports do nothing ingame. my entire premade reported them and nothing has happened

Send a link to the replay to hacks@blizzard dot com.

Yes, there are a lot of solo and stacked cheaters in this game at all levels and in all modes. It isn’t just in comp, it isn’t just in GM.

There is a specific email address Blizz maintains where people can send them proof of hacking when it’s encountered:

hacks@blizzard.com

I cannot speak to its effectiveness, as I’ve never had cheaters in my game on this scale or this blatant, so I’ve never had to use it.

Hard to say if every player on their team was using them. DEFINITELY the Bastion and Widow (if they weren’t the same person). I can’t tell about the Orisa though.

yeah thanks guys ive sent the email. cheers for the help.

lol that is some blatant cheating. Sad thing is, Blizzard likely won’t do anything but I am sure they have plenty accounts where they don’t care if they get the perma ban. That bastion wasn’t even trying to hide it.

wow wtf. double shield pirate ship AND hacking… how do they even find the game fun with that?! *puke

Definitely hacking and by the looks of it aimbot and wallhacking with the prefiring.

wow. Just wow. What SR game is this if you don’t mind me asking?

Well, expect action only if a vast number report them - or in about a year’s time (when blizzard gets around to doing something about it).

It is no more effective or responsive than the in game reporting. Just read comments from Overwatch PD on twitter. They rarely act fast.

Bastion was wall hacking and aimboting 100%. I am not sure about orisa as you didnt show her enough but it looked like she was too maybe. They could be in duo. With bastion. I am not sure why did you watch widow for so long time tho, she was legit, no aimbot, no wall hack.

From the recorded game you showed it looks like only bastion is cheating. Others from his team might not even know that.

The state of comp is so revolting they don’t even offer any provable indication of a 5-stack. Or any groups for that matter. Deliberately hidden so they don’t have to answer for trashmaking and additional reports.

Same player icons, coordinated names, known group? Doesn’t matter - not a provable stack.

Reporting in game DOES work. The only time it doesn’t work is when people don’t use the system (which is often). Witch-hunting them on the forums, however, is NOT a good way to get them banned. Forum members can’t, as a collective, decide to have someone banned because of a video you’ve posted.
