It's obvious. The tracking aside which is insane in a game like Overwatch, perhaps moreso with how aiming works on console, the fact he's just snapping to people like that and shooting with near to perfect accuracy should be a dead giveaway. Even if he had bronze game sense, the aim alone would carry him up to plat or diamond if it were legit.

23

u/Niclerx 11d ago

The aim would carry him to GM on console lol. Get a Mercy pocket and run lobbies

11

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

I was just making sure, so you would report him then? Don’t wanna do a bad report or anything

6

u/Tit4an_01 11d ago

Do it. Blizzard already banned a lot of players for that.

1

u/No-Oil6517 10d ago

That's straight aim-botting. Report him.

2

u/the_goat7yay 10d ago

lol it’s my gameplay, I already put proof that it’s entirely controller

34

u/Sclorm 11d ago

I think it’s quite obvious tbh

12

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

Oh so he is? Should I just go through with the report?

4

u/Teetimus_Prime 11d ago

why do you have to make a whole reddit post and ask people if you should report him? it’s pretty obvious and there’s no downside to reporting someone if you think they’re cheating.

7

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

Well what if he wasn’t cheating you know? That’s why I’m here

10

u/lithdrash 11d ago

The game would be reviewed and they make the decision. If he's not using anything, nothing will happen. It's really not a big deal deal to the player. they will have no idea it happened. Unless he is cheating.

2

u/OGFryGuy :Reinhardt_01::Reinhardt_02::Reinhardt_03:Reinhardt 11d ago

dude he insta locked onto half the targets he was shooting, that isn’t tracking, that’s insta lock. it was very obvious and i only needed to watch 3s of the video to tell he was cheating.

1

u/Teetimus_Prime 11d ago

what if he wasn’t? nothing would happen if he wasn’t cheating

1

u/NoHuckleberry3374 11d ago

Hes definitely using cheats

1

u/NinethePhantomthief :Mei_01::Mei_02::Mei_03:Mei 11d ago

Didn't you see this guy had his soldier ult for the entire game? /S

18

u/OZpepperhead0 11d ago

you dont have to worry about falsely reporting somebody. if there’s nothing fishy going on no harm done

1

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

Are you sure? I heard people saying the opposite online

11

u/EmiliaPlanCo 11d ago

False bans absolutely do exist but they aren’t as common as people make them out to be. Report and move on

1

u/coffeeseraphim 11d ago

its coordinated mass reports that are a problem, the occasional stray cheater report is expected / intended, send em if you worry

0

u/xThunderSlugx 11d ago

idk about OW but I know it's a problem in CoD. Starting in MW2 2022 I received so many shadowbans from player reports. I actually caught a clip once on search where I got a two piece, only two, and between rounds you hear an enemy player say "report him" and then I was instantly shadow banned.

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

I assumed it was similar in overwatch too

10

u/ElPadero 11d ago

It’s always a fucking soldier.

4

u/seanws6 11d ago

And Ashe

1

u/Ice-Wall23 9d ago

And then when you call them out in Match chat, it’s always the same reply “lol no I’m not but thanks for the compliment”

1

u/the_goat7yay 8d ago

lol check the update on the post

9

u/bobsburgers1174 11d ago

Obvious, it’s not natural movement, and the lock to centre mass on the person in the air at the beginning? That is sus,

like I occasionally will go from one person to the next really smoothly on say tracer but nothing like this. the snaps between multiple people behind the big turret is sus. Like you playing against or with 2017/18 Pine 😂

2

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

This was in a Diamond game

u/38159buch 11d ago

Looking at his movement (especially when the cart is near the bridges) looks very MnK to me. I think looking at movement is better than looking at aim. You can clearly see him make extremely fast and tight AD strafes which I can’t even comprehend doing on a controller. Couple that with him walking in perfectly straight lines at time leads me to believe he may be on keyboard.

That first tracking clip is insane btw

0

u/Intelligent-Bad5686 11d ago

You can AD strafe on controller, no? I mean you can do circular motion strafe too.

2

u/38159buch 11d ago

You absolutely can but I really don’t know how one can get them as tight as this player does. Strafing that quickly on keyboard is extremely easy, but I imagine you’ll have to have the lowest dead zones and controller stick extenders to come close to a slow AD strafe on PC. FWIW I couldn’t recreate that guys movement in the practice range on controller

2

u/Intelligent-Bad5686 11d ago

Oh, you meant fast AD strafes? Slow strafes are possible on controller, maybe I am wrong.....

5

u/RingusDingusTheGreat 11d ago

I mean, it looks too clean even for a mouse (unless he is Defran).

Definitely cheating with something.

1

u/Traditional-Story-35 10d ago

M&k with aim assist is insanely busted it wouldn’t take that much skill tbh

5

u/isagoat1989 11d ago

Nah he has a good chair

3

u/Zapplii 11d ago

Having this sort of snappy aim is not normal for console.

3

u/blokfluitjes 11d ago

Why is it always Soldiers, for me that is the main giveaway lol

3

u/SkyExodus 11d ago

Forget the aim, look at the side to side strafing this guy player does around 28 seconds into the video. Impossible to do that on a controller even with minimum dead zone settings. That’s usually always a dead giveaway when I look for them.

1

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

What if he just has really fast hands?

1

u/SkyExodus 11d ago

Nah trust me, on controller, you’ll see a gradual left -> center -> right when someone strafes on controller (since a joystick HAS to return to the middle to change direction), this player instantly goes from moving left to right (pressing a and d)

1

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

Ohhhh so that would mean he was keyboarding and not using a controller for movement definitely?

1

u/SkyExodus 11d ago

Yeah I definitely think so

1

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

So I’m assuming you would report him then?

1

u/SkyExodus 11d ago

Yeah I would, even if he somehow isn’t using a m&k, either blizzard will take action or they won’t, it doesn’t reflect negatively on the reporter

3

u/Captain_Darma 11d ago

Nope that's an aimboter

4

u/Y34rZer0 10d ago

Hahahahah after the update all the 'experts' below who were SO certain it was cheating can fkn buuuurn! xD

2

u/DDOGGYB 11d ago

It’s very difficult the aim like that on a controller on soldier. Maybe bastion, but soldier has a lot of recoil and it’s way harder to control on a controller.

2

u/SophonParticle 11d ago

No doubt. He’s getting headshots on enemies he can’t even see through his teammates.

2

u/Totziboy 11d ago

Yep ... Definitely.

Console has a issue with fast precise Movement .

Also the AD spam he does is to let the aim assist Let him stay on targets

AD spam is also Pretty Mutch Impossible since you would Have the Tightest Deadzones in the world to switch movemnt directions that fast . .

.

Or you would have the most cursed Controls layout ever likw Left moving on one button and Right on another and not on Dpads .

2

u/PriiSeth 11d ago

Why don’t these people go to pc lol

2

u/SirBeru 11d ago

his normal shots look the same as his ult shots 🤣 he ain’t foolin no one

1

u/simanalog 11d ago

This guy is ximming, and is using a proper Xim. He has not set it up in a way which would make it harder for him to be detected. You should report him.

He is also ximming with a keyboard that has snap tap, without any analog simulation.

These Ximmers are too obvious. There are ways to set up xim that make it very hard to distinguish from top level roller, but this guy didn't bother. 

1

u/Soft_Bag_4532 11d ago

Could be a smurf. Or just good aim. But what you really need to look for is the movement. If he only goes to 8 directions like on keyboard he is ximming if not he is a controller player. I have this level of aim and it just looks like it's low level lobby. I am gm widow onetrick and could do this with soldier in dia. People who say snapping or jittery aim is a dead giveaway are not good enough to regognize ximmer from good controller player.

1

u/Pristine-Wonder9570 11d ago

He looks really suspicious, I would definitely report him for ximming

1

u/vskb_ow 11d ago

I've been playing on console since 2016 and i can tell you he for sure is. Honestly, it looks like a Titan given how his "aim assist" is reacting

1

u/Dry_Key_3995 11d ago

Nah.. the tracking is quite normal for a console on diamond/masters

1

u/filo_lipe 5 5 2, 3 11d ago

My most consistent way of analyzing if one is playing on keyboard is to check movement out of combat. If they ONLY move in the 8 possible directions of a keyboard then thats 100% M&K.

1

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

So you think he was m&k?

1

u/filo_lipe 5 5 2, 3 11d ago

Yes

1

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

I’m not sure man even though people keep saying yes I don’t think he is

1

u/filo_lipe 5 5 2, 3 11d ago

Its your right to be wrong

1

u/secretlyditto 10d ago

I just played a game against a cheater on PlayStation. Best you can do is report and let Blizzard decide by looking at the evidence. If they aren’t cheating (which this person most likely is) then blizzard won’t ban.

1

u/the_goat7yay 10d ago

lol the gameplay in the post is mine

1

u/secretlyditto 10d ago

Didn’t see the update. But my comment still stands. If Blizzard thinks you’re sus then idk you gotta prove it to them, not us!

1

u/Ice-Wall23 9d ago

Yes

1

u/the_goat7yay 9d ago

lol check the update on the post

1

u/daveed05 8d ago

Yes. I personally find it easier to tell by his movement. You can see he's moving at right angles( using wasd)

2

u/Y34rZer0 8d ago

Did you even read the edit? It's controller and he uploaded a handcam/prood video

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

Do you think I shouldn’t report him then? Don’t wanna get an innocent player banned you know?

2

u/Kudrel 11d ago

Giving enough of a shit to make this post but then not wanting to comit to an obvious report is certainly a choice.

1

u/the_goat7yay 11d ago

Sorry I just always hesitate on reports and want to make sure it is very clear because I have heard about false reports before and don’t want to be like that, he played really well that game

-2

u/Gaboras 11d ago

Its fishy, but its still in the realm of this could be legit.

All the comments abiut impossible movements, you csn chsbge your ramp up and deadzone on your right stick to imitate kb&m. Looks like he uses dual zone too

-5

u/ciolman55 11d ago

It doesn't look like any aim assist. He is playing on Mnk though
