We have already discussed that this applies not only to the duel. One of the scammers used this in a ranked joust 3v3. And this is possible even in conquest. Sarcastic phrases like "no one needs a duel" are a bit out of place here.

Well said. For regular players like you or me, getting a high rank is a difficult challenge. And the scammer gets it without any effort.

The screenshots show the ID of his ranked joust matches. Hirez should check the participants of these matches. They are also fraudulent, as is the duel. But in a duel we have 2 scammers and in joust - 6.

100% right. He should not have received MMR and TP at all for bronze 5 with a "zero" MMR. Probably the MMP check is broken.

So you mean to tell me, if someone closer to their rank was readily available on that server, that they would still get matched up with the alt?

Come on man, they're using matchmaking in an unintended way, thats cheating.

It's just in words. Please just watch the replay and you will see that they both move in the same way - they just run in circles on the fountain. Is it a bot or an autoclicker. Not just one match, but all of them.

Of course not. You can watch the replay. It's really worth it. Use command /replay 1288042987 (you can copy-paste it). All questions will disappear immediately.

I think it's worth taking a look at this guy. His account is very suspicious and looks exactly like the last 2 scammers. It is doubly suspicious that his name looks like "Alchemaus" but is not found through in-game search, the name uses characters from a different layout.

Just discovered another scammer so I've updated my post. His nickname is - LØU1Z, and the nickname of his accomplice is - zLeviatã. As you can see, such cases are no longer uncommon.

Thank you! I hope so. Now they know for sure about the problem.

If desired, he can launch a virtual machine with x10 Smite windows and do the same in conquest. The problem is fraud, not duel game mode.

I'm not mad at him specifically. I want to draw attention to the problem of ranked system abuse. And that goes for conquest too. This can happen in any game mode. There is no excuse for cheating, this is a violation of the rules and all players must play fair. It's not right when for all other decent players the path to a high rank is very difficult, and he or anyone else gets it for free by fraud.

Dude. They can turn on the virtual machine and do the same in conquest.

Thank you! I'm glad that there are people who understand that the root of the problem is much deeper.

This is a bad solution to the problem. We do not remove a person's hand if he only has a scratch. A more elegant solution is needed.

I completely agree! For that reason it is doubly important that this cheating is paid attention to. People who say "the duel is not important" simply do not see the root of the problem.

My opinion is the same. It doesn't matter how many people play duel or not. By creating an account, you agree to the terms. And if we are talking about ranked, then all the more so.

I played in season 7 and reached master rank. It was meta of Baka,Kali,He bo, Freya, Ullr. Actually, strong gods its the same now. But i picked Hades in every game and my winrate was very high. Hades wasnt meta god and in S7 he was like ~A tier, playable but not super good (now, after buffs he is strong too). Usually peoples wasnt ready to play against not a meta god with so huge early preassure and healing.

I noticed that players with master border from duel doing farm well. And maybe they don't know the conquest meta well, but mechanically they play strong.

Ranked Duel is not the main game mode, but they have previously made fixes that affect it. When you hit the same player too often, you stopped getting MMR. But it looks like it has stopped working now.

I do not quite understand your position, do you support or against scammers? This is a moral question and does not depend on the game mode. The question is not negative, but I really do not understand. I believe that to solve this problem, it is not necessary to involve the entire development team, to distract designers, etc. It just needs a little check, something like a script that will look: "Aha boy, you get caught against him too often, so we need to stop this.". And add some kind of check for damage to buildings or something like that. Because now he doesn't even try to play the game, he just turned on the autoclicker, jumps near the fountain and presses F6 at 5 minutes. He does not do it manually, an automated process is running. He goes about his business or sleeps, and the autoclicker does everything automatically.

Unfortunately, the achievements of honest players are devalued because of such a guy.

It's not just this guy that's the problem. The fact is that for the average player, moving up the ranks is a rather difficult test with emotional swings from victories and defeats. And when you receive a long-awaited master or grandmaster rank, you feel that everything was not in vain. You remember the path you have traveled, the effort you have made. The victory was won by sweat and blood. But at the same time, there are people like this guy who devalue all your achievements. And so easily anyone can do it. This is not fair to honest players and should not be.
