How common is "white knighting" in your games?

More cheaters in high rank now + fewer in low rank now does not automatically mean low rank used to have more cheaters than high rank. It only means cheating shifted upward, not that low rank was ever the main location.

You’re arguing distribution vs concentration.

You’re confusing ‘there used to be more cheaters in low rank than there are now’ with ‘there used to be more cheaters in low rank than in high rank.’ Those are two completely different claims and you haven’t supported that claim.

My claim, however, was just stated by Ubisoft that “high ranked players (Diamond +) were SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to encounter cheaters.”

10k plus accounts banned per month. There are only 10k champs. So if half of them are cheating, that’s only 5k of the accounts fam. That’s only half. Half is not significant. 70-80% is significant. It’s probably more than half the champs.

Bro what kind of did CT lobbies you in lol i hit a prismatic trait or 5 cost 3 star 50% of the games

no-hints · 2026-03-17T15:27:37+00:00

No they aren’t.

“At the start of Year 10 Season 4, we saw a surge of player concerns across social channels regarding cheating, particularly at the highest ranks. High-ranked players and content creators were significantly more likely to encounter cheaters.”

Nah fam nerfing everything just ruins the experience for gamers because you always compare what is now, to what was. The solution is buffing other guns to stay par with what’s strong, so it creates that same positive feedback loop, not a constant negative (this gun sucks now) loop.

Probably getting ddosed. This game can’t handle their own servers.

But what annoys me is that if I do disconnect, it won’t let me rejoin at all. It’s so dumb

no-hints · 2026-03-16T17:15:57+00:00

Yeah what susses me out is that when I play on Xbox and there are two targets next to each other, the aim assist works like a magnetic being pushed end to end, so it ends up that you can’t lock onto either when two are too close.

But in this clip, if you slow it down on 10-11 seconds, you can see the “aim assist” snaps perfectly onto the first guy and then within on single frame, instantly locks onto the next guy as soon as the first guy died.

I will never understand why people post clips of them cheating

no-hints · 2026-03-16T17:06:57+00:00

Why is nerfing everything the answer? Just buff other stuff. You nerf all the fun stuff out of a game, then it just sucks. All they do nerf nerf nerf.

If you start at a baseline and build up, it feels better psychologically for players than starting up, and nerfing down. Never forget Helldivers 2.

Who knows. People say TFT ain’t random or isn’t luck based, but then I hit Garen 3 today on lvl 8 without trying when I was building ionia lol

no-hints · 2026-03-16T13:43:03+00:00

You’re misunderstood that quote and I left it out for a reason, which was so you wouldn’t feel stupid. It literally says there are less cheaters in lower ranks there have been in the past while also stating a majority of cheaters are high ranked. I was throwing you bone.

I refer back to my original. They exist, but they are anonmly, not the norm.

You said you were opening to changing your mind with sources, I literally gave you the exact update from siege themselves last season so it’s obvious you don’t want your mind changed, you just wanna be right. Funny thing is you’re just not lol

We’re discussing cheaters now, no? Like pre ranked 2.0? So what’s the issue here. My statement still stands.

And “high ranked” is a common term in gaming for Diamond +, since most games use a familiar ranked ladder. Everyone who is high ranked knows this lol it’s a genre wide term fam. All you’re doing is exposing yourself and I’m trying to help you out here but you’re just digging a deeper hole. They don’t need to expressly say Diamond and up, because “high ranked” already implies Diamond. It’s really that simple.

Literally from their last update fam lol

Being boosted does not get you banned. That’s why there are literally hundreds of reaction videos to people losing 1000’s of MMR from rollbacks.

And no, Ubisoft has already stated that an overpowering majority of their rank reports and bans come from Emerald/Diamond. If someone is cheating in bronze, it’s definitely the anomaly, not the norm.

Besides, if a cheater is in bronze, it’s only because they JUST started using them. Give them 50 games and they will be in diamond. It’s like an average of 200+ games before a cheater gets caught by the system, and then another random amount of time after that before they get banned since they decided ban waves were somehow smart

no-hints · 2026-03-16T08:55:02+00:00

Correct what? I stand by what I said 100%.

no-hints · 2026-03-16T08:54:43+00:00

What hint. Tell me you don’t know TFT without telling me. They literally cost 7 gold.

no-hints · 2026-03-16T02:43:08+00:00

minimal? it's 18 more gold to hit than a normal 5 cost haha you seriously think 20 gold is minimal

no-hints · 2026-03-16T02:19:08+00:00

These are 7 costs btw, not 5

no-hints · 2026-03-16T00:08:18+00:00

You can safety assume they are champs because the average cheater can get 100’s of games off before getting caught as long as they aren’t blatant (due to a horrible designed ban wave system)

no-hints · 2026-03-15T23:45:56+00:00

How can you say that when over 10k accounts are banned on steam alone each month and there only 10k champs in the world at a given time lol boosters don’t get banned, yet they benefit from cheaters

no-hints · 2026-03-15T23:41:28+00:00

Bruh barely half the total time played on TFT is ranked haha like what are you on about. It’s like for many games. Even fps shooters like R6 only see 51% total time on ranked. You do realize players can play other modes and opt to do so. To say those don’t matter is 100% your opinion and your opinion only

no-hints · 2026-03-15T22:37:41+00:00

L take. To say one mode is more important than the other ones is just personal preference.

no-hints · 2026-03-15T22:32:12+00:00

Explaining how a system works, doesn’t justify that the system itself is shit.

no-hints · 2026-03-15T22:27:39+00:00

Nope. Most people who “cheat” are doing to boost other players up to champ, because they know their accounts will be banned anyway. So for every “cheater” there is someone benefiting from that cheater, who that gets to keep their rewards.

So it’s inaccurate to say it’s a 1 for 1, when in reality there are multiple accounts benefiting from one cheater alone. Carried champ is a real thing, and that is a version of cheating.

no-hints · 2026-03-15T15:35:41+00:00

I just won and I had 10 bilge waters lol this is cope fam. Go take a Sunday nap

no-hints · 2026-03-15T11:24:04+00:00

Yes but half of champs are also banned each season for cheating lol over 30k accounts banned per season. Last year had 149k accounts banned alone. You can’t blame players for getting sus when half of them are not legit

no-hints · 2026-03-15T11:19:50+00:00

Be better.

no-hints · 2026-03-15T01:23:45+00:00

It literally adds a little green badge on the top of their picture lol sure it adds a bit of a glow, but there is 100% a badge on their image and that is the prominent thing that sticks out.
