I see the USA forums are reporting it too.
Seeing aim and wall hackers in over half of my QP games today!
Also had two games with actual bots instead of players.
What on Earth if going on with OW2 at present?

Essentially spite.
Cheat makers keep getting busted. So in a last childish paddy fit, the let people have the cheat for free. (See the recent engineowning case, where they legitimately think Activision is wrong for closing them down)
What the losers who are cheating don’t realise, is they’ve just given them access to every account, document and piece of information on their networks.
I’m the end, both parties get what they deserve.
Yep seems you’re right, I just had a look at the article. After that cheat maker got busted I guess all the other cheat makers are clambering for their customers and offering free trials.
Then I watched Noobhunters YouTube video he only posted yesterday called " There’s At Least 1 Cheater in Every Game of Overwatch!"
And those first couple of examples is what Ive been noticing too, but obviously most of the vid is just streamers having fun.
Its sad that these cheat makers will end up destroying online shooter games as its very demotivating to play against the people who are using them.
YouTubers don’t help.
Yes, there has been a slight increase. But it isn’t “every game”. That title is clickbait, feeding of an algorithm that pushes negative titles more (because it is what people click on).
They won’t. They’ve been a thing since the start, the cheats have gotten better, but so have the detection methods. And now they have the powers to go through the courts to stop them. There is now legal precedent of a 100% success rate of shutting down the providers in court.
Neither side will ever win. Sadly. But that is probably the best that can be done.
No one cheats in OW… DCXJ4K Plum haha
Its because their anti-cheat is terrible and you can just buy accounts for nothing and keep cheating.

I have actually had a couple of matches close due to hackers being detected which is pretty good. Just had a game now where a DPS player left part way through after doing very little to then returning to wipe out the entire server each fight 
, match was not cancelled suprisingly, but hopefully they review the code I’ve submitted.

haha, I see that all the damn time.
Also if the account is public it means its more so a stolen account that you can buy for $5

I actually find that 5 star rated players seem to be hacking the most and also theyre really, really bad at any sort of games sense, positioning, when to push when to fall back aka they feed all the time hoping there aim lock will carry their terrible play.
Thats what its like in gold/silver anyway. Also in the last 20 days I have seen so many of the same players, cant be more than a few thousand players in EU regardless of what they claim.
