Blizz you are not doing a good enough job on the cheating which is going on in this game. this game is being ruined by it, the last few weeks have been unreal with hackers. if it is not hacking its groups of friends all de-ranking together ruining the game for others, You’re happy to take our money but not answer our concerns about the game which I used to love playing.
You’re almost promoting others to go out and buy hacks cause the way people are seeing it, is that you clearly don’t care and allow this kinda thing to happen. I’m not talking about smurfs. I’m talking about user name xzxb\jhzbxkh\bxjkhj\bz which joined the game and is tracking me through a wall, Or getting a headshot from across the map in gold ranks… again these are not smurfs it’s clearly hacking!!!
Blizzard doesn’t share the exact details of their account processing data, this isn ormal.
They do care, though the community also plays a big role.
So please do report these users, make sure to report them in any way possible.
Do make use of the hacks@blizzard mail address to report sites containing OW cheats, Derankers or Hackers.
Your support in the process of reporting these users brings us closer to a place with less rule breakers so the experience can be fun for everyone.
Hi,
I send you approx 5-10 reports daily on cheaters through OV platform, though nothing happens, nothing changes. I know because when I report verbal abusers I received your feedback within 1-2 days.
Just log into your game, play few matches and you’ll be amazed finding lvl20 hanzos/widows with 90% accuracy and 0 positioning skills or 0 map knowledge in every 3rd game.
I understand that your system relies on “statistics”, though it can be outsmarted by 10 years old kid. Activate autoaiming at the certain moments then make few empty shots. Voila!, statistically speaking…
Tbh not many of us care anymore. We know that blizzard became trash company so actually we dont expect much from you anymore…
Did you know that these aimbot, hacks etc are paid services? Companies are constantly developing ways to avoid detection so that they can continue to sell their wares. So they try to get a step ahead
Do yourself a favour and look up blizzard Bossland lawsuit, see how hard it is to shut these hacks/cheats down, takes years of lawsuits etc
Heya man, just to be clear i’m not related to Blizzard in any way.
Hold in mind that reports can take quite a while to be processed.
There have also been cases of accounts being actioned yet the reporter not recieving a “Thank you message”
Single reports usually don’t have much value, though i recommend you keep on reporting due to it still having a value and that Blizzard needs user reports.
Just log into your game, play few matches and you’ll be amazed finding lvl20 hanzos/widows with 90% accuracy and 0 positioning skills or 0 map knowledge in every 3rd game.
I haven’t encountered this actually, honestly smurfs do exist… though i can’t say how they decide to mess up their MMR.
It’s unknown how the current Anti-Cheat system functions, this is also for the best to prevent bypassing.
Actioning hackers is a hard process since making the system too rough can result in false-positives, which further damages the playerbase itself.
It’s a lengthy process, depending on engine and how everything functions within the game it can prove to be difficult to assemble a proper anticheat.
Not to mention the limited Customer Support resources there are.
Yep indeed, sadly this is the case… though they still are valuable to report to Blizzard.
In some cases sadly there are lenghty legal procedures to follow before something can be done, but please rest assured that we always do whatever possible to stop or limit any kind of service that violates the game rules.
Yeah, 100%, but from my experience though, its difficult to spot the good players from the cheaters, so I only report incidents of fact, like chat infringements.
I had a hanzo yesterday, his aim was precise in the kill cams and PotG, but in reviewing the replay code, missed a lot too. So he may of looked like an aimbot, but in fact was not.
This is a competitive match in mid gold that I played last night (I was playing support).
Check out the replay from the PoV of the red soldier player.
Watch how utterly blatant his triggerbot is, he doesn’t even turn it off seemingly after turning it on at the beginning of the match…
This was my 3rd competitive game of the evening, and I had to turn the game off and go play something else because the blatant hacking was such a turn-off I couldn’t face playing again at mid-gold!! lol! Even though we won anyway.
Blizzard, you need to start taking some action against blatant hackers, ban people or actually employ some server admins else I am outta here. Can’t be playing some COMPETITIVE game with this high a frequency of cheaters.
I appreciate they are always a scourge in FPS games but you should be able to do better.
Cheaters will always exist in every game Blizzard has a poor track record at dealing with these hackers in OW. They have seemingly always been a problem, I personally play alot of different FPS games and there are clear notifications in game highlighting players being banned for cheating see fairfight on R6S for example.
Although its of benefit for Blizzard to ban these hackers, it does then generate an income as a result of the hacker just buying another copy of the game. So if the company is earning money off the back of repeat buys of the same item there is no reason to stop hacking as the punishment is seen as having to buy another copy of the game.
You think that dude is using a triggerbot? OH MY … GOD.
Really? A dude that barely hits 40% accuracy on Mcree and Soldier in that match? The dude that just can “farm” your Road (because dear god he was feeding).
He just catched you out of position or alone several times and you raged. HARDCORE. This is how a trigger bot looks like:
That dude on your replay was 100% NOT cheating. You dont have the ability to tell a cheater from a dude that just hits his shots sometimes in GOLD.
Yep, that dude is definitely cheating, although I don’t think it’s a triggerbot but an aimbot with a smoothing factor aka “softlock” to increase it’s error margin for making it look less obvious. His aim however still looks very odd and unnatural, too mechanical which is a common trait of all aimbots.
