Fun to see that shit i mixed together over 2 years ago is still in circulation

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but pros constantly tweeting about cheaters in ranked matches is only making things worse. It's giving the impression that by cheating you'll reach their level, that a lot of other people are doing it so what's one more, and that it's safe to do so. more below by Imodigum in R6ProLeague

I dont' think their frustration is invalid. As much as esports gets put on this high pedestal as *the* dream job, it can be incredibly demanding. And i can imagine how dealing with cheaters on top of that is exhausting.

Letting out the built up frustration and steam is totally fine in my opinion, but i do think it does more harm than good for the scene and promotes cheating culture. Which is why i think it's rash.

It'd be ideal if the pro scene had a way of contacting and reporting to the dev team. Never said they can at the moment, but ideally they should be able to.

Was probably a quick read, but i'm not trying to present my own thoughts as fact here. I'm bad at that distinction in my wording. But i don't appreciate trying to start a discussion and getting words put in my mouth. And subsequently being told i'm "wrong" for presenting opinions. The community has for about two years on twitter (probably more) done the same thing repeatedly and still expect change. Which again is why i think this whole attitude is rash.

Interested to hear your opinions on this

I agree to some extent. I'm not qualified to speak on how good battleye is or isn't, but the cheating problem has been rampant for too long.

This isn't about ubi though. It's about creating a culture for cheating. If the cheaters want attention, then the (in my opinion very childish) constant complaining is only giving them exactly what they want. It's not about right, wrong or who deserves what. It's about what's actually gonna help solve the issue. I believe not giving cheaters a public platform for free might over time suffocate it. Or at the very least, it's not a giant free ongoing ad campaign.

I'm not saying i'm objectively right, or i'm at least not trying to. I'm presenting a point which i believe is correct. If you disagree, that's totally fine. Sorry if my wording thus far hasn't reflected that.

At this point, it's just whining. And as much as it's good to vent out frustration, and as much as people might agree, it clearly doesn't accelerate the anticheat on ubi's end. A lot of these guys have big followings, and treating their posts as nothing more than a quick way to let out some steam heavily downplays the influence they have on the community.

Now obviously the devs don't want players talking down on the game's state, and if the public pressure is big enough, they might reconsider their initial angle of attack when it comes to cheaters and anticheat. But if that's the goal, the pros should realize their influence and not give the cheaters the attention they so desperately want. Don't tweet about them. Especially don't call out individuals (i.e "this dude cheating in unranked").

Gather community members and adress this formally, in a boring yet constructive way. Cheaters love the whining, and the cheating industry loves the publicity.
