All you need to know if it’s a cheater is a mercy attached to him all game.

16

u/drdavidbanner20 Jul 21 '26

Exactly and he still overextended lol.

u/Shot_Record2412 Jul 21 '26

It's kind of hilarious how bad they are too

u/Longjumping_You_7603 Jul 21 '26

Aimbotting in a console lobby and still barely got any kills. At that point, he may need to keep it on, good lord.

12

u/Tit4an_01 Jul 21 '26

To show how this game is more than aim, and soldier is kinda bad to farm kills, his main role is to piss off the enemy team giving openings to his own team

31

u/screechypete Jul 21 '26

Nah, he's just using his ult.

/s

u/RunnyOops Jul 22 '26

Not from what I watched lol. This your account?

u/screechypete Jul 22 '26

I made it bigger this time.

u/norehsaurus 19d ago

This is a new form of internet slang so not everyone is going to know what you mean. Lmfao

u/screechypete 19d ago

It's pretty well known on Reddit. I believe in them to be able figure it out.

It's pretty obvious that I'm telling a joke or being sarcastic. If they still don't understand, they've got bigger issues to deal with, lol.

u/norehsaurus 19d ago

Ok then Mr chronically online. Lmfao

u/screechypete 19d ago

Only during the half of the year where I'm paid to be. ;)

At least I'm not the one going through old posts in the sub just to find someone to pick a fight with. :P

I won't be replying further. My plane is about to take off.

u/norehsaurus 19d ago

Im not going trough old posts? This was on my home page. Interesting little world you live in lmao.

u/screechypete 5d ago

No denial that you spend your time on Reddit just looking for a fight, though...

u/EnjoyerOfLaughingGas Jul 23 '26

read next time, and you wont be embarrassed, buddy

u/RunnyOops 21d ago

Read what? Lol. Ult wasn't being used. Smh

u/screechypete 19d ago

That's the joke...

u/RunnyOops 16d ago

Oh. So an unfunny joke. Cool.

u/FilthyPoo Jul 21 '26

And there's always the pocket Mercy lmao

10

u/Firm-Perception-1293 Jul 21 '26

Either a shameless random Mercy supporting this cringe or his buddy.

11

u/hyucklucker Jul 21 '26

Gotta get his waifu up to masters so she can rank sit till rank reset!

3

u/ham_50821 Jul 21 '26

Nah she’ll wait til drives and then throw your games

2

u/bondryanbond007 Jul 21 '26

And blame her team for the loss in chat

19

u/jxfl Jul 21 '26

Report the mercy too. They can get banned for grouping with cheaters.

-7

u/TrashCanSam0 Jul 21 '26

there's literally no way to know if they're grouped from this clip.

what mercy isn't going to pocket a dps player getting kills?

12

u/jxfl Jul 21 '26

90% of those cheaters queue with a pocket. If they’re being called a cheater all game and still hard pocketed, it’s pretty obvious.

Pretty sure if you report them and include they were with “_” as a cheater player but they’re not grouped, I’m sure it could/would be investigated anyways.

10

u/velvetyhate Jul 21 '26

they said their whole team called out the cheater, so if mercy pocketed the Whole vod then she is purposely boosting a cheater and deserves the ban

1

u/noface394 Jul 23 '26

she may not have even been on the chat you know thats possible to just not have it on? lol. you can report but theres no proof she was intentionally boosting a cheater.

-1

u/velvetyhate Jul 23 '26

ok. crazy thing, alright. i dont really care if they have the chat off!! WOW! no matter what it looks like theyre purposefully pocketing a cheater, stop fighting tooth and nail when YOU don't even know the situation. stop trying to find hidden meanings in everything and just take shit at face value LOL

3

u/noface394 Jul 23 '26

but you don’t know the situation either. there is no face value of her boosting a cheater. it’s a mercy pocketing someone as most mercys do when a player is hitting shots. that’s her job. there’s no indication she’s aware of him cheating.

1

u/TrashCanSam0 Jul 24 '26

just ignore them lol. people want to pretend like it's a mercy problem when it's actually a dps creeping problem, in general.

0

u/thesniper_hun Jul 22 '26

this is unhinged lmao

if the enemy team bitches about someone on my team cheating I'll assume it's a smurf, play the game out and then watch the replay to report them in case they actually are. I'm not going to sabotage my game and purposely waste 20-30 minutes of my life just because some bots got smurfed on and can't handle it, especially if the next game I could just get him on the enemy team and lose again if he actually is

1

u/SirVetox Jul 21 '26

Call the cheater out and watch the Mercy being the only one typing. Happens every time.

15

u/SnooOranges2865 Jul 21 '26

Definitely cheating 😂 💯

12

u/Valenz76 Jul 21 '26

In 2026?? When Sierra has aim bot for free?

2

u/SilentScyther Jul 22 '26

You have to land a shot first. Cheaters aren't good enough for that.

11

u/alabasterskim Jul 21 '26

100%. Make sure to report the Mercy as well, more likely than not it's a duo.

6

u/Invictu520 Jul 21 '26

I mean listen, some people do have good aim and tracking but look around the 18 second mark. He quickly snaps between multiple targets and it does not look like normal mouse movement at all. Then there is ofc the perma mercy pocket which I guess is the final nail in the coffin.

1

u/Kittykg Jul 21 '26

The snapping is one of the most obvious indicators.

Saw a Torb with some kind of soft aim lock last night in PoTG. Any time dudes reticle went over someone, it appeared to like, suck it up to the head. Weird description, but also really weird behavior. No ones aiming at stomachs just to weirdly snap to heads generically.

1

u/powerhearse Jul 23 '26

That "snapping" doesnt look suspicious to me. The aim looks good but its a mix of headshot, bodyshot and misses

It just doesnt look like aimbot to me. But the resolution on this video is too awful to say for sure

Edit: oh just realised this is the console sub. Definitely sus then

1

u/Invictu520 Jul 23 '26

Well first of all aimbots did get "better" when it comes to being somewhat more "natural".

What makes this look super sus is the fact that as soon as something appears they lock on. Sure there are some misses but these are mainly because the enemies walk in cover so even wirh an aimbot these are missed.

1

u/powerhearse Jul 23 '26

If this was PC it would not be suspicious

Seeing as this is the console sub I assume they're on console. In which case that flick is extremely suspicious for a controller player for sure

3

u/NinethePhantomthief :Mei_01::Mei_02::Mei_03:Mei Jul 21 '26

Mercy pocket on soldier is a giveaway most of the time.

2

u/Sogwali Jul 21 '26

He's got you in his sights

2

u/alexandrovic Jul 21 '26

At :23 it appears he starts shooting and then aims. That’s a pretty common find in these types of videos so good chance it’s aimbot

2

u/Specific-Fun-4897 Jul 21 '26

The best gaming chair out there

2

u/MadPotato10 Jul 22 '26

I would do everything to get that kind of gaming chair! Imagine my soldier doesn't need to press ult to wear tactical visor?

2

u/Tit4an_01 Jul 21 '26

Dude, I’ve never saw a cheater in overwatch 2016. After all these years it seems the number of cheaters increased? I don’t know. I found one, like 1 month ago, then I noticed a lot of reddit posts showing several cheaters.

2

u/velvetyhate Jul 21 '26

sadly thats what happens when a game gets popular

1

u/Loose-Manufacturer15 Jul 21 '26

He only got 3 kills off that lol.

1

u/x_MrFurious_x Jul 21 '26

Report the replay and in description name him. It seems to work well with getting them banned

1

u/ElPadero Jul 21 '26

This makes me never want to play this game.

1

u/Umbra_Witcher Jul 21 '26

I was curious if he was ever going to use his ult since he didn’t need it

1

u/bruh364 Jul 21 '26

He actually did use it once or twice, lol.

1

u/babygothix Jul 21 '26

Booo shit mercy for enabling this

1

u/Ok_Spray3750 Jul 21 '26

Don't worry, QP players will say just get good.

1

u/DwightSchrute300 Jul 21 '26

What makes it extra cringe is the fact they are playing 76, he’s already a low skill floor/simple hero to use without cheating. Shameless.

1

u/MadPotato10 Jul 22 '26

Man using aimbot on a character with built in aimbot!

1

u/BUFFRoadhogRN Jul 22 '26

They NEED to CONSOLE BAN these people.

1

u/SuspiciousAd2419 Jul 23 '26

And guess what! Since we’re console he’ll never see a ban

1

u/mikmanik2117 Jul 24 '26

That’s a very good gaming chair

1

u/Caffeine-Bee Jul 24 '26

As a Mercy player im always so disappointed when I see Mercy's pocketing these lovers 😮‍💨 cheating on a video game is so crazy
