Is Blizzard planning on ever addressing the increasing amount of drop hackers in games? And don’t say it’s a ping issue, I have yet to drop conveniently when losing a game.

I’m 99% sure it’s a bug and not some sort of hack since the two clients were merged together. It’s a very short freeze then back to score screen, right ? Happens to me too, randomly; about 1 in 7 games. And in about 1 in 2.5 games one player drops.
So how can you be “99% sure”? Where is your evidence? We had Drophack before so why it shouldn’t be back again?
I agree there must be drop hackers. Low ping game is going smooth, destroying bases and then boom all 4 of us game seems to freeze for 3 seconds then we in post game lobby. Twice in 2 days
Well, it seems like the same group of hacker starts to destroy the game again. I had 3 games in the last 2 days in a clearly win - one of the opponents left and suddenly we both got desynced… I rly can not believe that blizzard let this happen…
i too suspect drop hack is back.
in w3c all my ‘desyncs’ end up in a loss to me. why i’m not getting lucky and receive a win? why i’m always receiving a loss?
i don’t believe anymore in random de-syncs. it happens way to often systematically. opponent is winning, i deny leaving and wait for him to kill my buildings and all of the sudden de-sync. i play vs elf, deny his fast expand attempt, tech to gargs, get me an expansion. i kill his entangled gold mine and leave. he comes to my expansion and sees i have way more gargs than he has hippos - de-sync. i start a game, this guy asks for my race because he ‘didn’t see’, a peon walks into my base - de-sync. on echo isle i grab my 5 peons run over to the orc base, kill the burrow (he didn’t even repair) - de-sync.
i strongly believe people figured how to cause de-syncs. i’m also not far from saying people developed a tool for it because in w3c all the de-syncs happening earn me a loss and never a win.
I think its more of a Blizzard mistake than the drop hacking but i have reported several drop hacks,but they prob are just blzzz buggssss
How can I report a drop hacker ? I have the evidence.
It was a 3v3 game, we destroyed 2 enemy bases. The two players left the game, but one of them didn’t want to leave. We started a long discussion with him, and after i killed his hero (being very annoying and humiliating him at chasing over all the map), I was desync immediately when his hero died.
Drop hack is a fact. Clearly not a coincidence or bug. Any way for reporting ?
Yea that’s not proof.
