How do we report Co-op Hackers? I can see someone is winning with Raynor and beating Void Thrashing in 1:23. He is speedrunning the #2 GM on the Leaderboard who also hacks in Archon. Lots of hacking going on, not sure how to report them.

At most you can use the “Report” feature but they’re generally ignored. Feel free to upload the replay at drop.sc. That’s also to see if they are using some so-far-unknown bug on that map or actually hacking the game somehow. (12 units were produced, with 570 minerals gathered. With the starting 50, that’s 620 mins so he either made 12 SCVs or 12 marines or some combo, only. Barracks cost 150 so I guess that’s 9 marines. But then can’t account for 12 units with so few minerals.)
LOL that guy’s been hacking for at least half a year now. If he didn’t get banned then, he won’t get banned now. Dead game riddled with smurfing and hacking.
Also hey buddy 
Indeed, unless something directly harms a Blizz profit or causing political complications with China, they ain’t doing anything about it.

OP’s pic shows 98k damage from the Hyperion. Raynor summoned 12 of them.
I doubt it is a bug. I saw a video of the no-cooldown hack years ago.

Did anyone actually get banned for hacking in coop for the whole history of this game? Is it even possible?
Where to report?
Who’s there to report to?
What’s to be gained after?
Questions to be asking yourself… if any of these came as a surprise, bitterness, or jealousy, then the news flash is written in the walls… long foretold that nobody cared.
Hack the replay and slip in that those hackers messaged “free Hong Kong” 
I saw that video and it’s probably what is going on with my report.
So? No point of reporting this issue. Are you harmed by his cheats? Does Activison Blizzard lose anything because of his cheats?
Players are just sick with leveling up and getting down to lv1 again after activating a new P. In my opinion, it is actually great to level up by WeMod, unless re-leveling up is for practice purposes. You won’t get yourself into much pain when leveling. Also, you won’t end up with getting into a brutal game with two players both having no mastery levels. This is extremely painful and may lead to failure for both players if any server mistake is made (or one player is just bad at game). Well, playing hard mode is just slow, and there are actually lots of poor-skill players playing brutal mode with no mastery to get carried for leveling.
If you just cheat and get all prestige+mastery, you can just walk into a game, and carry your teammate who is still leveling up. Win-win! You enjoy the game, and your teammate has an easy time leveling up.
Well… I had to say that beating Void Thrashing in 1:23 is slow for cheater. I can do this in 50 seconds… and actually Brutal 6+ Scythe of Amon is better for leveling up, if WarChest exp boost is applied. Well… anyway… I don’t see why you want to report it.
It is possible! Only happened once in Chinese server. NetEase Inc. banned them (for a month), not Activison Blizzard. They were banned only because the a special way of cheating. Usually, players cheat after the teammate quits. This is because of data synchronization. If a player joins a game with hacks on or turns on the hacks during the game, and the randomly matched teammate does not, errors occur during data synchronization and will prevent the hacker from loading the game. If teammate quit during the game, the game will become “semi-single player” for the remaining one. The player will still need to be connected to server, but data synchronization is no longer required. That means, you can cheat.
How did the Chinese server detect the cheat then? The players who got banned opened up two accounts on two PCs (or one PC with one virtual machine), and form a party. Then BOTH accounts activated same cheats. In this way, it was faster, since you did not need to quit the other account, and activated/turned off the cheats for the account that you wanted to level up every game (assuming one PC, no sandbox program). Since this was much easier to handle, players could even write scripts to do this. The problem was, although synchronization between two players was successful with both are cheating, the abnormal data was synchronized through server. And… the data was detected… then… well… yeah…
I’ll say it’s dishonest right away, it really is! But on the other hand, this is a great way to farm exp to gain new prestige, especially since this game died in terms of development, and was not used against humans. So I think you should thank him for the easy and fast exp.
On one hand, it would be nice to skip all the levelling when doing the commander prestiges. On the other, what is even the point? There already exist arcade maps of the co-op missions where players can pick any commander, prestige, and mastery they want.

But you can’t get exp and the small icons from ascension and all, also the way to get a player to play with you in Arcade is different (not a big random/weird choice).

To play Co-op with the CO and any Prestige you want, without the aforementioned grind.
To play regular Co-op, B+, Mutations on the solo queue (with the CO and any Prestige you want).
Also, the MM map+enemy comp load → Co-select → Prestige & Mastery select loop for every game takes up time and clicks, so wouldn’t become the default way to play for many ppl. Unless they wanted to try some special strat or for some mutation.
How many people know this arcade? I think much less than an official co-op. I know about this arcade only when I was on the forum, especially since not everyone visits the forum. In order to play this arcade together, most reliably you need to be in a party, with randomness they will most likely be looking for more slowly, when they can find it instantly in an official co-op, because if we talk about ordinary co-op players, they are only interested in co-op. I think this arcade co-op is mostly for urgent tests of tactics and strategy effectiveness, solo games and bug detection. There is also a group of people who prefer to play in random conditions, so the arcade is inferior to this in the usual co-op.
