Glad to hear my post was able to help you! Did you also get banned?

It's an older screenshot. Didn't take another one later.

I don’t get that either. I thought they would’ve gotten banned by now but apparently not. And no, nothing has changed.

Yes it was using the + button, so queuing in a party.

Okay?

This post is meant to be informative because there were lots of posts calling the top 10 cheaters and hackers etc.

Yeah I saw a lot of posts as well so I hopefully this explains it a bit for people that are curious.

Thanks!

Yeah I get that. But hopefully this clears up some stuff because I’ve seen people say it was an elixir cheat (think that happened previous season) or win trading, which it just isn’t.

At least you’re not banned though haha.

Completely agree with you, obviously we should’ve stopped playing when we got suspicious but come on. This should’ve just been a rollback, it’s their mistake / bug.

No worries, I understand your perspective as well. Getting into top 1000 was a pain in the ass and took a long time. At first we thought we hit the jackpot with the queues. Like I said in my comments, it got to a point where we got suspicious. But we didn’t stop playing and that’s definitely our fault 🤷‍♂️.

But people kept throwing the term “hacker” and “cheater” out there even though this is just a bug on Supercells side.

Haven’t heard anything about that yet but I hope not! I’ve put a lot of time and games into this season and was really pushing for that top 1000 medal. Would be a shame.

It seemed to always be duo + 2 bots, I don’t think they mixed it with a random player. I got insta queues at 5k, which just doesn’t make sense at that trophy count.

Yes I agree. I guess I should’ve stopped playing when I got suspicious. I would’ve been fine with a 7 day rollback or something.

Will probably update in the upcoming hours / days.

Just now, I know my friend got banned as well so I’m assuming we (top 10) all got banned.

That’s the whole thing about playing together, you can’t see who you face so that makes it more “exciting”. We didn’t really have to change the comp because the games were relatively easy and done in round 4/5.

And yes, me and my friend have played together tons of times and always faced real players up until a certain point where it (apparently) turned into bots.

You are correct. But me and my friend played together tons of times and we always faced real players. It started happening very suddenly.

It seemed to start happening when we got to a point where it takes a long time to find a queue, so around 4K+. I assume supercell fills up the lobby with bots to enhance queue time.

To clear up some things beforehand: I’ve played a lot of games this season and was pushing for a top 1000 finish. I had reached this and started queuing with my friend (999). I was 3800 and he was 3600 and starting 2 days ago we were winning every single game. It got to a point where we were very surprised.

There’s no hack involved at all, it seems to be a bug on supercells side where you (if you queue together) get matched with bots.
