Hey All,
I’m genuinely curious how people in the community deal with hackers and smurfs. They are generally some of the most toxic people on the planet and seem to never be banned. I ask because it really does mess with me. I don’t care about winning or losing, but being smurfed/cheated on for 20 minutes with no way out is really obnoxious.
Side question… Are we as a community ok with Blizzards inaction around this? Like people are rage hacking their asses off, taunting the other team… no bans.
Replay code below for your viewing pleasure. Replay code :334SF2 POS basement dweller is Meanaz. Feel free to send him a friend request and tell him how cool he is.
If I may ask, what rank are you? I’m not trying to judge but I hear so much about hackers and yet rarely see them, making me think they’re prevalent in another rank outside of mine. No pressure to answer, of course.
Absolutely! I’m g1 currently, but I haven’t put a ton of time into the game and never played OW1. I highly recommend looking at that vod with the code above. I try to not call out cheater until I review the vods. In the above video you can tell he is running walls, w/ aimbot that has prediction.
Also, If you’re curious about other vods and how cheats look… A youtuber names Flats has a discord where people submit their hack videos from their games. and they seem to be in all ranks and comp/QP
Most are in the low ranks (here they are pretty obvious) and the very top ranks (where they suck and are super obvious and are easily ignored by the opposing team) on PC. Lower rank players focus on it more because they cause a lot more frustration in the lower ranks. Especially if they text chat.
On console they are everywhere, since they are mostly zimmers.
That’s false, that’s why it’s harder now to detect them, but there is always something fishy when they use cheats so it’s still pretty easy to tell if someone is cheating or not even if it’s not the same pattern.
The amount of hacking and smurfing on top of the absolutely awful matchmaking this season has been making the game feel like an arduous task more than a good time lately.
precisely what you read. the antithesis of developer deviousness. Activelyrigging sabotages all their games at sourcecode. self inflicted sabotage accelerates their irrelevance. which is good bc they’ve made enough money anyhow.
People with intelligence know how to explain their thoughts processes. Wanna try again, or are you gonna admit to having absolutely no idea what you’re talking about?
