It’s true. Cheaters appear once in a while. This problem sucks.
Still, though, I’m not complaining too much because source games like CS:GO are way worse. CS:GO even went f2p recently and that day all the game reviews were extremely negative.
When I played that game I literally had a cheater every game. At least Overwatch is somewhat better with this
Go outside, there is a Sun.
NOOOOOOO!!! THE LIGHT IT HURTS US!!!
IT BURNS SO BAD!!!
NOOO! NOOOOOOOOO!!!
WE DO NOT WANT IT!!! LIGHT BAD! LIGHT NASTY! hisses
This season alone i have run into around 10-15 aimbotters some of them hiding it well using flickbots some of them going full rage mode with bastion there used to be a big problem with pixel bots but that seems to have died down and the hackers have found a way to make memory bots bypass blizzards anti cheat before you would see alot of tracers using cheap pixel bots that track the color red and just adjust the crosshairs using in code from the healthbar.
But recently there has been so many widowmakers trying to hide this aimbot while using flick bot its actually really hard to see unless you are looking for it the only realy way to call them out on it is if they have very bad crosshair placement or they dont overaim ever the aimbot can be good and look really legit but a flickbot will never overaim like a human does when flicking you never actually land 100% on the head you just shoot when it gets to the head the aimbot cant immitate this well maybe a very very expensive one could but not these £200 a month aimbots going around at the moment.
You see unless they are also using esp its very hard to catch them because give any good widowmaker a flickbot and he will hide it so well you will never notice as he can just aim close to the head and use the flick bot but only use it when needed.
Only way to fix this is to do constant updates every week so they have to keep updating the bot.

they really need to add replay of matches in for everyone allowing you to save to to harddrive or file it along with a report that would catch a hell of a lot of these i think…
They could probably analyze the recordings of games automatically using machine learning models to detect plausible cases of aim bot.
but to do that they really need to build up a lot of data to experiment with first… you cant really throw machine learning at a problem until you have the data to analyze and train rules from…
Though that may mean they need confirmed cheating…
maybe they should add a server where it’s allowed and in fact encurraged… they could also open that up to people trying to write AI to play the game opening up a API for that server.
a bit like how they have deepmind playing against starcraft pro players…
maybe they could crowd source better AI for training vs AI matches that way in the long run…
Also cheating Vs AI researches running crazy AIs meant to make mere humans rage quit instantly could be almost fair… X3
anyway that how they could fix the issue…
I have looking a lot cheater in few day. (in US server)
Especially there are many cheater in KOREA’s prime time. (19 o’clock at KST, 13 o’clock at PST)
I was seeing them at every match. When it is awful, there are 2 cheater in one match.
All teammate was killed by HeadShot without exception. This is terrible now.

I’m more worried about frenchs on my MM Matches tbh
Those videos show no cheating at all… The sniper had his ultimate up, it’s not hard to get kills as they appear around the corner.
As for the Zarya one, what?
If you think they’re not doing anything about cheaters, I can give you a handful of news articles about them sueing cheat providers for selling and distributing this software for the game. Overwatch is a huge game with a huge playerbase and a lot of priorities, yes, anti-cheat is one of them, but to put it frank, there’s a lot more actual players than there are of cheaters, and so some priorities do get pushed higher than anti-cheat, like new heroes and bug fixes for example. I’m sure the developer team are doing what they can to work on and improve the anti-cheat every day, but it’s not something they can just click their fingers with and be done with it. Goals like not having an invasive anti-cheat on players’ privacy can interfere with progress, and while it’s a good cause, it can still slow down the development. Furthermore, the current state of the anti-cheat is still better than most, and is actively doing it’s job to “scare away” potential cheat providers looking to distribute software for the game, so it is most definitely doing its job. Give them time, and they’ll improve it, just like how your skill in-game works.
Just meet one [expletives] yesterday…and this dude is the newest Low all time.
Wallhack Junkrat. How did his tyre trail down my sombra when I was running in cloaking?? No hanzo and widow on the other side.
