How cheating in solo shuffle happens without blizzard knowing

This is going on way too much.
How people do it is by having 3 friends who goes to discord, They queue for solo shuffle at same time.
They see countdown timer to join the queue if it matches and if same amount of people accepted queue. They can know with high certanty that they are in same lobby.

Why would 3 dps join same queue.
Well they make the 1 dps loose all their games and those 3 dps get 4 wins.
You probably dont notice it as much in mid raiting 1200-2200 but u will encounter it perhalps 1/10 games.
But at lower raiting and higher raiting u see this way too much. It is also quite annoying. where 1 dps plays good when opposing you but when that dps is on your team he/she will charge in and die in 1 sec.
You also have healers doing this but it is less effective. I personally dont do this but would wish blizzard did something about this as they dont seem to care what so ever.

Is that an actual thing people do? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Yes and it is way to easy to pull off

Nop its just a classic case of loosers mentality, blame anything except your own skill. It cant be me im perfect in every way it has to be boosters, wintrading, blizz mmr system or my horrible teammates.

Omg now that you say it, the other day I was in a lobby with a SP and when he was on my team he didn’t press life swap and let our healer die, but then next round on the enemy team he pressed it and I was confused, but now it all suddenly makes sense.

Wintraders ruining my solo shuffle experience!!!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Pretty sure everyone does fatal mistakes in arena that we don’t want to do again so we learn and play better the next rounds.

I see it as something comic instead of getting angry over it.

Nah fam, there is no such thing as playing bad for one round and getting your act together the next one or doing a fatal mistake, it’s just blatant obvious wintrading. They are all paid actors, ruining my solo shuffle experience. Blizzard needs to act swift and just, in order to preserve the integrity of solo shuffle, otherwise we will start to see this behaviour occure even more often.

Rotation bots, interrupt bots,cc bots, etc are extremely rampart in this game and you’re worried about some losers win trading at low elo?

They need to do a bot ban wave first, it’s disgusting how rampant it is in PvP AND PvE

No. Some people throw games to grief, because they are tilted, though. Like if they feel a dps sucks and is to blame for loss 1, they will throw every game when they are on that guy’s team. Because they are mentally unhinged lumps of nerdrage. I assume this is what some people think is wintrading.

The only cheating this expansion I’ve seen so far were kick, totem destroying, RoP bots.

Infact 3k+mmr people wintrade alot and message there friends to Q up and join discord to play.

any proof for this?

its funny how many times per day i see people use bot programs

also its either lag switch or their bot programs when they also look to go all over the place in erratic pattern

after healer shortages i think this is the biggest offender currently on pvp

There are tons of PvP rotation bots out there as well, you can even configure them to do some funky stuff like, for example insta freeze trap a warrior charging at you, or as a DH use Imprison on a healer when you have your target below a % hp (which can be configured). Kick and totem is I’d say, the most basic of basics functionalities you can do with these bots these days. Blizzard really needs to get their act together and throw down the ban hammer, it’s reminding me of MOP PvP which was bot infested as well

I’m not going to link them for obvious reasons but it’s pretty rampart and the creators brag about how it’s undetected etc.

to everything but the naked eye :smiley:

i see few per day and all of them look ridiculous, warriors and dhs mostly

i even saw 1 in leveling battlegrounds below 70 lol

they rly need to do banwave on botting and preferably before the expansion is on its last season, the sooner the better message it sends

Assuming that by RoP bots you mean things to walk through/bypass RoP, I can tell you now that I have personally walked through more RoPs in Dragonflight alone than every expansion leading up to it combined.

Dunno why people need a bot, seems easy enough to do “unassisted” these days lmao.

I’d assume that by RoP bot he meant a case where monk puts it in millisecond on priest Dome for example. Vanguards have a good clip of exposing player like that.

Explains the constant declines of queues…
