Unfortunately I cant atm I just checked, Ive overriden my history with comp games, but yes next time I will provide evidence.
I thought my flight simulator controls are messing things up (they do that sometime) so I went into practice range for half an hour. All cool. Clear hacking. I will provide evidence, as asked.

Holiday seasons are generally the worst time to play when it comes to match quality as more people than usual are playing.
The more people there are, the more possibility for cheats, hacks and misdemeanor.
I hope the rest of your matches feel better.
Players that ask “evidence” are trash. Game is infested with aimbots and cheats, especially top 500.
Blizzard literally not doing anything. Their anti cheat not working.
Facing so many bots in top 500, that it is crazy. And they do not bot alone, but with friends. Can not rank up.

Well I recognized a pattern, whenever KSA dudes are in a game, weird things happen. May I ask since when is Saudi Arabia a part of Europe? Did I miss something in geography class?
Middle east is at best a part of Asia, more likely Africa though.
So wird das 4. Reich gebohren!
Middle east is between europe and asia, so depending on what area they live in, they either play on asia or europe.
I’d say everything west of Afghanistan definitely has the chance of ending up in the european servers.
I started playing in 2018, I think I saw 1 or 2 cheaters. I keep seeing a lot of people complaining about this massive amount of cheaters but I can’t find any. None in quickplay, and maybe none in Diamond 1 I guess?

Not many cheaters with me neither. If i feel someone is sus during a game, i just watch the replay from their point of view and usually it comes down to me being in the wrong place or just walking into a bullet.

No. They are just tired of people crying wolf. If the wolf is there, you should be able to prove it…
Flats has a video showing it in action. The problem OW anti-cheat has is that it isn’t very aggressive, because they prefer ban waves. This is to stop cheat makers being tipped off, and massively harms their ability to adjust cheats on the go. So it is a bit swings and roundabouts as to which method is better.

If you are T500, it makes sense, most cheaters that have half a braincell will end up there (the best cheaters are the ones that don’t even know where the maps go and get stuck in silver. those videos are hilarious).

As i live in the Middle East (UAE) i can confirm, that the ME servers are plagued with cheaters in one form or another (but most of them are not rage hacking, just you know, subtle aimbot here, wallhack there).
ME have own servers, at least as i am concerned, there is one, GMEC1, which we are all play on. And situation here is just abysmal. Every single game you are paired with 3-5 stack against you, they all have basic OW icons, they all have no progression at all, profiles are locked, and either QP or CP here is just broken. So many times i have a GM Role Q tank against me while being G2/P4 tank, same goes for the support and dps role.
And on top of that, literally 9 out of 10 games have a cheater. I do report them after each game, and get multiple “Thank you for reporting” upon logging in the next day (literally, 3 to 5 of these messages in a row).
Problem is, Blizzard is not going to do anything about this situation, at least not immediately. They are banning people in waves, so even if you got “Thank you for reporting”, you will see this player again (talking from experience, ME servers it seems have at most 600 players in total, you can get into multiple games back to back with or against the same people).
The reason they are not banning people straight away is because then the cheat makers will know what change they made that triggered anticheat, and it will be easier for them to provide a new version, and when you accumulate reports for example for 2 to 3 months, multiple patches released for cheating software make it hard to find which one exactly triggered the initial check.
Just wanted to add, report people who are cheating, and just keep playing, i know, it is frustrating, but even when it seems reports are not doing anything (even for toxicity), they do, you just cant see the result immediately.
Until Blizzard decides to do the kernel level anticheat (and people really hate this one), reports is all we have in our power to make game “cleaner”.

Yup sam here. You get the message. And 2 days later its the same arabic people shouting and typing hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
There is an increase in cheaters atm, always is at this time of year.
More people off school/work, and only a skeleton crew active at Blizzard. I suspect there will be a tasty ban wave coming in the first week of the year.

Yea, you know thats not gonna be healthy either. I rather want a vastly extended ban list like 30-50 or so. Then the system can have a look at the players who are ending up in the undesirable list all the time. OFC its gonna be abused one way or another, but one needs to be on a collective list by multiple different players, not the same stack spam abusing the report system.
I just pulled this idea outta my butt, I dont know why blizzard cant come up with better ones. Its sad tbh.

why am I able to rank up then?

The conspiracy theorists will claim something along the lines of you having an account that’s been chosen to allow ranking and not having rigged matches.
When in reality, you’ve just improved, won games and move up.

I think the workshop enabled cheat creators to much easily hack the game.
I actually want to see a content creator take a cheat appart, how does it work, is it an overlay that takes control of your input, does it penetrate OW servers’ dataflow. That content creator would be banned from all dinner parties immediately as it would probably portray the inability of blizzard to do anything meaningful.
Right now its all cool but as soon as any holiday season comes around its a clown fiesta.
People that make up things because they got demolished are trash though.
Theres way more cheating accusations in this game than actual cheaters. If you dont provide a replay, you are most likely to be just an accuser.
Anyone can watch T500 streams and see you are lying mate.

lol. Since 2007 hacks and aimbots have an option to hide it from desktop during stream. Please go educate yourself before typing this.
Or better put me on avoid so you do not need to read the truth. Live in denial and your pink bubble.
And. That’s not really a counter argument.
This is a 100% accurate statement about all games.
Yes, cheating is a problem. Yes, numbers have gone up over Christmas (does every year because blizzard go on holiday).
But if you post claiming your games are "infested. Prove it. Show your last 10 games. What you got to lose. Worst that will happen is people think you’re a liar.
People have cried wolf far too many times to just be blindly trusted anymore.
