Why Are There So Many Cheaters In Classic?

And nobody seems to notice?
I see it mostly from enemy Hanzos for some reason.
Pre-aiming at me when I’m behind a wall and preemptively shooting so it hits me in the head right as I peak or turn the corner. No, they don’t have scan arrow active on me.
Making impossible flicks to my skull at weird angles, always knowing where I am at all times even if I’m sneaky and crouching.

Nobody seems to care or notice and whenever I’ve called it out I get the usual “who would cheat in this arcade mode? LOL” and “yeah ur just crying cuz he’s better” and “idiot forgot that hanzo’s arrows are giant in this version of overwatch”.

Why are there so many cheaters in this mode?
Some of them have endorsement 5 as well which is absurd to me when they’re cheating so blatantly.

Cheaters are everywhere in this game. I’m beginning think it’s actually a requirement. Since I’ve been playing in comp, I’ve seen people do some impossible things…like kill the person in front of them and then immediately attack the person that they didn’t know was behind them. There cursor suffers from no wasted movement…just from one target to the next. I’ve seen some able to type in the chat while also effectively playing as well.

I had a hanzo fire a storm arrow in normal comp mode into a random wall the other day and kill me 20 feet away completely out of LoS.

I watched the kill cam and he didn’t see me with his sensor arrow or see me walk across his field of view or anything. Just fire the arrow straight into nothing, not even where someone would usually be walking by.

It was mad sus, I asked him how he did that and he said just luck.

I’ve been getting this alot too.

I crouch and then move and strafe past a wall or visually obstructive barrier and the person on the replay cam tracks my head through the wall and domes me.

This is insanity.

Forget ban waves. They need to get their lawyers involved, send subpoenas to these people’s ISPs and sue the cheaters directly.

It’s an arcade mode. The rules are much more lax on that side.
