Yeah, it happens everytime I play comp. I don’t really care what people want to call it, it is an issue - reporting and moving on isn’t really a very fair option when it happens multiple times a day. I just don’t really play comp anymore. No point.

Sadly we have very few other options.
Either we report and hope.
Or we ignore it and there is no hope.
Until there is a big enough team to properly moderate the reports, it might take weeks before something happens with the person you flagged.
Or if too many people just ignore it, nothing will happen regardless.
It also doesn’t help that most (probably a disgustingly high %) of the cheat reports are false.
They must waste so much time going through them. Automating most of the process makes a lot of sense.
I don’t think i’ve ever reported a cheater. Nothing’s been obvious enough that i would be certain.
The team of bots i did, a few seasons ago as that was obvious XD
When the whole team struggles to get out of spawn because they’re running into walls and then stop to jump once or twice before trying to run through the wall at a slightly different angle, that’s pretty obviously a bad ai XD
I reported one a couple of weeks ago and added them to see what would happen. Took 8 days to get rid of them.
That’ll just be a player trying to control multiple accounts. (Or what Jay3 did when he got a very young relative to play on his account. The poor kid didn’t have a clue what to do lol)
Still shouldn’t do that.
A stuttery walk and random abilities used in spawn, i just reported that.
Agree. Probably an idea that will end itself now.
Can’t do it to level accounts as you need wins.
Could do it to derank multiple accounts… But then you need multiple numbers to trade the accounts and it’s a massive pain in the rear.
The key to stopping all this and cheating is stopping it’s profitability. Which the current systems have taken a big chunk out of.
knowing blizz this probably isnt banable tho. Blizz loves multiboxxers as they tend to spent money on both accounts on the game. mulitboxxers rarely get punished in their other games either
It does ruin the game for others though, especially when all five enemies do that.
The amount of bots these days is gigantic. especially between 3am and 8am at night. i know less ppl play then but still. if you do like 8k dmg and your teammate dps does 720 dmg … yeah… f… this. i’ll play another game then
Or just play during daytime?
I havent seen bots in ages.
Unfortunately all you can do is report the player/bot, add the code for the match too for further evidence.
It makes me wonder how Blizzard has designed the MM, bots shouldn’t be getting into these matches when they deliver so low damage/feed massively.
