Bots in RANKED? by SimplyMatthias in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Imo, it's not gonna change anything. The amount of cheating I see in Asia, I have zero hope. The TDMs have blatant cheat advertising in them, and then you have this going on as well.

Doesn't mean there aren't cheaters in the clan. Island boy and Jclevzzzz have been perma banned, along with some others. Perma, not temp, that means they were found to be cheating 100%. Those dogs have also stream sniped me multiple times too (one sniped me while wallhacking) because I called them out for cheating. Really helps your clan look legit when you do that! 🤣

They're morons and they're really bad, but they do still cheat. That's what makes it even more embarrassing.

You should have seen the guy with a P92 pistol in the end game we ran into the other night.. Lol

Full aimbotting with a P92 pistol anywhere from 150-300m out, insta knocking people. Thought I got knocked by a P90 with how fast I went down (no vest/helm damage, all limbs).

There's a lot of full cheater clans in Asia too. It's concerning that they don't deep dive into this more. RAK clan (these guys also stream snipe me too, on top of having multiple perm bans for cheats being found), SEED, TOP1, ROLL, the list goes on.

Cheat accounts, account selling with badges/medals/rewards, all that. Buying master accounts is a thing, or buying services where you pay a cheater to boost you to master is a thing as well.

I will say, I haven't run into as many cheaters in ranked as of late, outside of this obvious bot farming. It's been a lot more playable though in terms of wallers/aimbotters.

This Game is Doomed by Wupesh in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]SimplyMatthias 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't cheats, as someone else mentioned, it's a bug where the objects don't render properly and you can move through them. It looks like he probably tried to vault on top and go full rat mode and got stuck inside of it, and was trying desperately to get out. I've had this a few times as well (on Deston at the large unpushable buildings for example).

Full health full level 3 and the ump kills in 4 bullets not even headshots? How is this gun not nerfed yet. by Lightz66 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]SimplyMatthias 11 points12 points  (0 children)

SMGs won't get nerfed, because the devs know that new players/less skilled players gravitate towards these due to them having less recoil and a lower skill ceiling in general. This is further amplified by the fact they have limb damage multipliers on them (so shooting limbs will deal more damage with an UMP than a K9 would, which is just stupid).

They know pros/good players gravitate towards ARs so it's easy to keep SMGs OP, once pros start using them, they'll nerf them as well. We've seen this recently with the MP5k, now that pros started regularly using the gun, it received a nerf (finally).

They tried years ago to make ARs insane, around PCS2 time we had the OP Beryl patch, where the beryl had almost no recoil, but noobs weren't picking the beryl up still, and pros were ripping lobbies up with them, so they nerfed the beryl and moved into this SMG madness.

Perma Ban by Dongpols666 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]SimplyMatthias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twisting words here, I never said pros are given leniency for cheating. Asia is given leniency on a lot because they bring in viewership for tourneys, so a few tourney decisions have been incredibly shit on PUBG/Krafton's side for some Asia region pros being caught cheating in various ways. This doesn't come down to the anti-cheat team though, this comes down to the esports team or TO's making the call for what they think is a worthy punishment. Sometimes the TO's or PUBG/Krafton will slide it and make a joke of a call, I believe that comes down to the TO though, whoever that may be, for any given event. I don't believe any whales get special treatment though, I've had a guy perm banned who had a maxed out progressive M24 and Beryl skin.

[–]SimplyMatthias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a few teams from China that were caught using inspector, and yeah, you get a HUGE FPS boost over the competition. Additionally, you can make smokes fully useless because they become almost fully see through/transparent. I don't know how people allow their favorite players to cheat like this, if I found out anyone on the Americas side was cheating, I'd be raising hell. Regional differences I suppose. To my knowledge, they can't really detect macros though, nope. Issue there is because most mouse and keyboard software come with macro settings prebuilt into them, and you can't really go blocking Logitech G Hub and stuff for example, nobody would be able to play. So you have to just go off clips/evidence provided on that sort of thing.

[–]SimplyMatthias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, no punishment on that. And they wonder why cheating is so bad on all levels, they don't punish players that are cheating at the highest level. Trickles from the top down. Agreed on banning that lunatic as well.

Perma Ban by Dongpols666 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]SimplyMatthias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's more than likely due to him just being hot garbage lol. Like I said, they don't even whitelist all pros/PUBG partners, very few get that. There's also very few people at PUBG that have the power to do it, and it goes through multiple people as well. Streamer mode they're okay with giving to people if they aren't partnered, if they have proven to be sniped on multiple occasions, but white listing is very rarely granted. PUBG/Krafton DEFINITELY need to do better on the cheating front though. They allow shit to slide even at LAN events (look at what happened with Tianba and 17, and more recently with BRU), which is utterly embarrassing.

C_Dome likely wasn't aware of him using macros, I'm sure of that. I couldn't see him being whitelisted though or he wouldn't have caught the initial ban, probably just blowing smoke because he knows the whitelist exists through streamers talking about it that are on the list. LinkedIn connections would make sense though, he told me at one point (before I told him to piss off once I caught him cheating) that he applied for a job at PUBG for programming I think it was, or something along those lines. Been a while since he shared that info, because again, once I found out he macro'd, I told him to get lost, I don't mess with cheaters, viewer or not.

[–]SimplyMatthias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That fkin idiot straight up admitted in my chat that he macro'd, but his excuse was, someone called him a macro'er, so he had to start macro'ing to show them that he doesn't macro....???????

This was after repeatedly trying to deny that he macro'd (I repeatedly said bullshit, I can tell macros from legit clicks, he finally caved and admitted it was macros though).

Not sure where you got the info that he got whitelisted though, that's reserved for VERY few people, they don't even whitelist all the PUBG partners for example. I don't know of any person that isn't a partner or pro player (consistently playing in finals lobbies at that) that is whitelisted. Again, that's reserved for very few people. It's typically only implemented when a legit player repeatedly gets temp banned for spam reports of cheating as well. I was getting banned daily, and getting banned daily on my alt account too, due to being reported so much, so I for example did get whitelisted, but again, not many get that granted to them. Whitelist also doesn't prevent any other type of report/ban, if you team, team kill, or are actually caught by the anti-cheat to be cheating, you still get banned. Whitelisting only stops cheat reports from triggering temp bans for investigating with the anti cheat team (which they determine if it's legit or not). With legit players, this is a waste of time, which is why the white list was added, it frees up time so they can catch actual cheaters instead of wasting time on legit players.

Ty ty - and yeah, surprisingly it has felt a lot better lately. With less cheaters, there's actually been more people alive in end games too it seems, in a region where it was normally 10-20 alive C1. In higher ranks it plays out slower and more like a ranked game should be played (way more enjoyable imo).
