Are you able to post a replay specifically regarding damage hacks? I want to see if this is actually true
If you are masters/gm sure, there are working hacks. Blizzard canât do anything, it is impossible to find indentity of these people. Or stop them. They update their hacks each time quickly. But they cost a lot of money. So unless you are high masters/gm you wonât probably encounter many of them.
There are tons of maphackers. More so in team games, but no one cares enough to ban them. But in 1v1s, lots of production hacks and map hacks. You can watch people on twitch use them. Blizzard doesnât make much off this game, you canât expect them to police it forever. Might as well be complaining that Heroes of Might and Magic 4 is full of map hackers. No developer cares.
can you see the irony in it though?
Maphackers. are they there⌠sure⌠but its probably a small percentage that it doesnât even matter. Especially with the design of the game. I donât see why anyone would risk being caughtâŚ
for example why would a zerg player need map hack when they can see 85% of the map. just doesnât make since unless they want the early clue on what you are going .
but is it fun

Are you aware that you can make a new SC2 account for free? That is why map hacker activity have gone up. They lock an account, and you make another with a new email. Perhaps itâs just in my league, but I find them rather often, several times a month I would say.
Itâs a small amount, but it isnât insignificant.
I guess that could happen but why would you want a free account⌠You have to play 10 games before you can play ladder unless that has changed⌠just a waste of time
You can just play unranked for those first 10 days and it basicly puts you into the same ladder as if youre queing ranked.
But i do think making these threads without even posting replays to prove their point especially since they say they encounter it frequently enough finding a replay shouldnt be a problem is kind of hurting their case.
Personally i can only remember 1 recent map hacker that was obvious but that was 5-6 months ago in around 4,8k eu.

In Masters and cheating is a huge problem. There is a good 5-6 people that have maphacked and use micro hacks like auto splits for years. Always funny running into someone at 4.5k that has better micro than Maru.
Please donât listen to Terry.
The only way to deal with all cheating tools in a game is to LOCK computer memory allocated for video game that uses it. So that only OS as well as the game itself will have access to that memory. 3rd party programs should not be allowed to read or manipulate that memory segment - but this will require implementation in the OS itself - i donât think it will be done anytime soon.
