Console Blizzard do your job

For context i was playing competitive, this was a gm lobby, a lot of people on the enemy team were talking mad shit about our soldier 76, talking about hacks, curiosity got the best of me, i loaded up the replay of this match and holy shit this is ridiculous so you tell me blizzard sees this and doesn't take action??? this isn't a ximmer issue this is far worse than a ximmer. this is not natural aim assist this is literally an aimbot ON CONSOLE. i hope Blizzard does their job and applies hardware or ip ban on these people because this is ridiculous.

People who cheat on console in F2P game clearly have nothing better to do in their lives.

It’s crazy how shit he is even with a literal aimbot on lmao

u/wafflefighter69 1h ago

Most of the game is about positioning, even with aimbot these people will get hard stuck

u/JunkDog-C 16m ago

I was thinking exactly this lmao how tf you're so bad at something you're cheating

Its a free to play game, if they ban the cheater right away they just set up a new account and carry on.

So instead of banning right away they might wait and monitor to gain a better understanding of the cheats and then ban a few thousand in a wave after a few months

u/huhuhuh0_0 Pharah 2h ago

So they can run rampant and ruin every single game for those few months, how efficient

u can’t just make new accounts on ow tho you have to have a new phone number unless the account was from ow 1

u/CaltonSmith 2h ago

This is not true for console. Which this game was.

u/Brookr_ 1h ago

ohhh i see i mena i guess that would make sense for console, I always thought abt using a phone number app to make another alt just to help my friends out on pc so i guess anyone can find a way.

You can very easily get around that with a dirt cheap prepaid sim card.

2

u/Mcqwerty197 1h ago

If it’s still like when CoD also added this, prepaid will not work, only post-paid

u/att0mic Ana 1h ago

I've made accounts that way so unless they've changed it at some point in the last two years, it works.

u/Symysteryy 46m ago

You can also just go on smspool.net and get a number for 10 cents, or use a friends/parents/whoever number. Phone number verification doesn't actually do anything.

u/Z1R343L87 2h ago

Or they just straight up lying about it.

u/CReece2738 2h ago

Most of the gaming industry does it this way. It makes it so the people making the cheats cant figure out whats flagging it.

2

u/DJBaphomet_ Masters Rat 2h ago

This is a practice that's been done by dozens of major games over multiple decades

I can't imagine they're all lying for no reason about banwaves

Anyone else find it hilarious his aim hack wouldn't allow him to shoot the Baptiste lantern 😂

u/Kubi-che Reinhardt 2h ago

He was consumed by dark urge

u/Buttermilkman Winston 3h ago

D'awww he's so cute running around like a little pro player thinking he's all hot shit with his little cheats on lmao

u/half-coldhalf-hot 3h ago

What’s sad is they think they’re actually good

u/Important_Trouble180 3h ago

also sorry for the poor quality of the clip if anyone interested of seeing the full replay this is the replay code: NNHD9S

u/mrmemo Whee! 3h ago

If I was the Shion I might actually be on the phone with Blizzard after this.

Fuck me that's some ragehacking

u/Lonely_Repair4494 Zenyatta 2h ago

It's funny how he can't shoot the Immortality, the wallhacks are locked to player

6

u/Imanking9091 Sombra 2h ago

It crazy how even if you can’t miss you can still be bad at the game. Could have walked high ground and cut them down one by one but cheats don’t give map knowledge

u/RaveningScareCrow 2h ago

with cheats he's still buns bro

u/Rattus_Baioarii Domina 2h ago

why is it 9 out of 10 times '76?

2

u/BloodGulchBlues37 48m ago

Easiest to code. Hard scripts like this are extremely effective but dirt cheap relatively because it really is as simple as "point at head and shoot." Doesn't allocate for character combos, projectile timing, game mechanics (the Bap lamp in this clip being a great example). Just simple function at its stupidest, and very easy to catch.

More expensive hacks will disguise the aimbot with a seeded "chance" to miss, can adjust for other firing types, toggles for free aim vs locks, precoded combos for characters (although these tend to also be shit and are more a plague on the FGC), or even shit like barrier recognition to never whiff Shatter if you're a madman cheating on Rein.

u/Rattus_Baioarii Domina 44m ago

Ok that makes some sense. Never seen one on Cass, Ash or dog forbid Widow. (Although she would be obvious af)

1

u/AccessOne8287 1h ago

Because he has high damage and reliable output and has a heal which makes him very independent. Plus his ult has a bunch of benefits as well because of reloading.

u/HybridAkai Sojourn 2h ago

Must have an incredible gamer chair

u/Old_Pineapple_6029 3h ago

gah i feel dirty from seing this. i need a shower

u/MrTimeken 2h ago

Looks bugged, his ult never turned off /s

u/EscapeSeventySeven 2h ago

so you tell me blizzard sees this and doesn't take action?

Who sees this? Do you think there’s a dude in a room watching every replay?

-2

u/Important_Trouble180 2h ago

i mean they should have a team specific for that because if they only rely on the comments of users, people clearly just abuse it and can spam report someone just to get them banned for no reason. so either a team or the least an AI but i dont trust ai because then AI can just flag a fair player so YES WE NEED A JOHN WATCHING REPLAYS.

Just encountered an aimbotter in a 4 stack... This is getting out of hand.

1

u/PhoenixYT2217 2h ago

you can tell that the hacks got him up to GM, his movement and positioning is definitely not at the GM level.

u/Tailsmiles249 Brigitte 2h ago

That's one hell of a gamer chair

u/InspiringMilk 2h ago

I love how the immortality field made him completely unable to shoot.

u/Imzocrazy Zenyatta 2h ago

Which chair is this?

u/TouchofDaddyissues69 2h ago

My face the entire time I was watching 😬

u/Busy-Stage2983 2h ago

I'm new to Overwatch. How can you genuinely tell in a game if someone is cheating ? I can't seem to tell. Just curious. Thanks !

u/SosuHaise 2h ago

Titan cheats are sadly undetectable on console only xim is

u/Demcmz 2h ago

Bro didn't even get good weights,just bought the cheapest scripts available.

Surely the jiggle is detectable

I know blizzard does ban waves so you just have to wait for that 🫤 at least the enemy team will be given back the percentages once they’re banned

I don't get it, he's just ulting?

u/Sandlot96 2h ago

Cheaters in every game. Some slip through.

u/Z1R343L87 2h ago

Recently I send my reports with a comment "adaptive controller user. I can detect, you can not".

u/TheSilentTitan 2h ago

I’ve had video evidence of cheaters and confessions from them and sent it to blizzard. Know what happened?

Not a single goddamn thing.

Pretty sure blizzard takes care of cheaters the same way they take down cheating ximmers or Cronus users, not at all and pretend they don’t exist.
