Spoiler. Pika loses but notices how sus it is. Example of one of the easily attainable bots that we need purged from the game. This ones a rogue cheater not an ele.
Pretty impressive nonetheless how quickly he identifies it though. I don’t think I would have got those minor details so quickly. An average player would likely not even caught those details or completely missed the tells.
It also seems the rogue player noticed he got exposed on pikas stream and name changed or server transferred.
Imagine how your brain must work to be switch targets to someone else mid combat and automatically switch to a focus combat rotation macro setup or mouseover setup flawlessly so you don’t even have to switch targets. Just go right into it seamlessly.
Dude must be a savant with every sort of mouse over or focus macro for every ability.
This one doesn’t seem to be as advanced as the old WoD one. I remember the WoD one was nuts like a mini reckful. You can see it in action here literally sapping a shadowmeld while he’s killing the druid. Inhuman as heck.

If you spot anything like that its prob a rebooted vitalics.
That WOD one was free glad all day though.
You can see how freakin advanced it was back in WOD. Like I said previously if WoW had anywhere the playerbase and passion for its PVP it would be similar to LoL and other big games with regards to cheating.
WoW PVP is such a deadgame there really isn’t a massive market anymore for scripts/cheats. Sure they are around and easy to locate but nowhere near advanced as other games nor is there enough demand to bring tons of competition for better/crazier cheats.
There are PVE ones obviously that clock orange parses all day and Blizzard tends to be more aggressive on them. Warden can’t legally be invasive enough though to detect them and bust. I’d be surprised to know how blizz does manage its banwaves and disposes of some.
There are plenty that market themselves as X years running and 0 bans though so.
Cheater Vs. Cheater, tbh. One’s a bot, the other sits at 2k MMR doing thousands of RMT boosts a season.
Also worth mentioning, watching this, a guy who is literally botting with a healer almost loses to Pikaboo 2 or 3x while Pikaboo is playing with a 1600 Mage. lol This is the level of fair legit players are dealing with when they queue into these tournament players trying to climb, the next time it gets brought up and people act like Pikaboo is free CR.
I mean, it’s sound logic because it’s basically your only chance to win, and sure I’ve beat Pikaboo twice, but I’ve probably lost to him 6 or 8x. There’s barely anyone who posts on the forums who can even get seasonal glad mounts anymore, but they’re sitting max MMR for the season where Pikaboo just casually sits to do carries at and talks like no one should ever lose to him. lol I just find it funny. (75% WL at 1,576 games as of this moment)
Rogues are pmuch impossible to beat 1v1 it was sarcasm. Unless your a mage and event then its close to impossible in DF if they are playing perfect. SL was much easier.
GL beating one of the best rogues in game.
I think its one of those things you should just laugh at and move on. its 2s and its Pika. Take the L and go next all anyone can do.
I can blink every stun and play with thousands of 1v1 experience and i only win 50% of the time vs rogues in DF if they have any game sense.
Can’t tell you how many times I blink the kidney, prealter the step recheap at 100% and still get caut’d in a DR cheap.
The funny thing to me is the people he farms in 2’s are most likely the majority of his viewers. They basically pay to watch him help them farm each other.
Sure it’s not the end of the world, I’ve personally given the guy somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-150cr over the years, not really anything to concern yourself over. But still, this guy might be one of the best players, out of the best players, and I’m facing him.
If someone showed up to a 2v2 basketball tournament with LeBron James and dominated year after year, people would just think it’s pathetic, but somehow Pikaboo gets a pass. If we’re going to spend ample time on this forum addressing things that impact this game negatively, I think ‘viewer 2s’ is one of them. So I bring it up whenever Pikaboo doing 2s is a topic.
I value the nitpick that wow has never been big enough to have a lebron James and never will be. At most the ringer showing up to locals is Jeremy Lin, or the professor.
