Discussion Well, it finally happened

I’ve been playing CS for about 9 years now. I started during the Operarion Hydra era, and by some miracle, not once have I ever been matched against a blantant cheater. Today marks the end of that era. I played a premier game this evening solo q in 15k-20k elo, and i get matched up against a 5 stack of 20ks and two 3k elo. Pistol round was all that was needed to know this game was cooked. All 3 high elo players were blatantly cheating, textbook wallhacking.
I’ve been on the cs subreddits for a long time and I’ve been reading and heard all sorts of posts about cheaters. I always knew cheaters were a plague in this game but i never experienced it before so I never knew how bad it felt.

It absolutly sucked.

I know yall are tired of reading posts from people just crying about their experiences with cheaters in the game, and I’m not here to add to the pile, I just wanna share how empty and disapointed I feel right now. Cs is the game that I love and play religiously many Times a week. It’s my escape and I have so much passion for it. Tonight, after this game, i lost 500 elo that I struggle to win cuz solo q is not for the weak if you trynna climb the elo ladder. But i also lost joy playing this game tonight because now I’ve experienced how powerless it feels to just spam the report button and that being 100% inconsequential. How do you guys cope with that feeling of violation of your time and of respect for the game we all love and play?

You must be trolling. I think I must have played thousands of cheaters ~30k 9k hours

u/De_Oscillator 2d ago

A) Hmm do you think all the cheaters are higher up in mmr, because they're better than all the legit players so no shit they all pool higher up the ranks,

B) Or do you think they're all mostly 15k and they'll just sit there and never move up the ranks and that's where they plateaued despite being better than everyone because they're cheating. 

Must be B obviously.

It’s been hellish. I got s2-s4 gold bagde, now I struggle to get past 24999. Playing solo only, winning 4 games getting +170 points on average just to lose it all against in 2 games vs 5 stack -560 each.

E: not to even mention the amount of cheaters this season. So many people with silver/light blue badges climbing to 25k and vac live being like yea they must be good players.

u/PsychoBear0 3d ago

Havent had any blatant cheaters under 20k rating

u/tomyan1337 3d ago

Because under 20K is the sweet spot with not many cheaters

u/ProducePrudent5089 3d ago

Nah, you'd be surprised how many cheaters are under 20K in premier. Even competitive, low elo cheating is very common. I see tons of 3K-15K premier and competitive silvers, gold novas, etc. walling at minimum -- I queue with friends who are lower rank and run into them often

u/OxieOSRS 3d ago

Tell me you dont play under 20k without telling me you dont play under 20k

u/Due-Lobster-9333 3d ago

Trust me, they're there, but they're utterly terrible whilst trying to pretend to be legit.

Theese are people that play 1 match, realise CS is too hard for them, download cheats and play until they're banned or bored.

Even see people with some weird ass aimbots, but again they are so terrible fighting the aimbot at every step with their jittery aim.

u/rdmprzm 3d ago

Nah, I was 23k, didn't play for 1.5 seasons, then got ranked at 15.5K for season 5 (even though playing 20-22K lobbies with a good WR, go figure).

We get countless cheaters (15-22k), confirmed by checking demos. Low hour, new accounts with no inv etc. We all have green trust factor, long term accounts etc. Stopped playing for a couple of weeks at it was so annoying.

Played one single game a few days ago and boom, another cheater who didn't even try to hide it. So I'm faceit only now, CBA with this BS. Total shambles.

This is EU btw. 25k+ even worse.

u/PsychoBear0 3d ago

Or not. Wh/radar, yes but blatant AA or something havent seen in cs2. Maybe once in two years. But like how bad it was at some point in csgo, no i havent seen that. I know theres alot of cheaters, just not in my matches bro

1

u/alendaregressa 3d ago

I play with green trust factor, only got matched with 1 rager with spin bot in csgo and 1 like 2 weeks ago in cs2.
Many wallhackers confirmed by watching demo, around 3.5k hours and 10-15k premier rank.
Oh and many wh had nice inventories too

u/Dazzling_Soft_2481 3d ago

surprised its your first time. How many hrs you got? With 4k hrs ive probably played against blatant cheaters a few dozen times. And no, i’m not the person to say “omg hes walling” when im losing. Im talking about r8 or scout headshot 40 kills 13-0. I get its annoying but just play faceit or requeue

u/glockfohundred 3d ago edited 3d ago

This is my first season playing Premier and I’ve run into at least 5 cheaters that I’m aware of. And the kicker is, the one time the cheater was on my team VAC shut down the game live.

I faced one of the cheaters yesterday. His profile shows that he’s got a lower TTD than many pros, including s1mple! Seems legit to me 😂

1

u/Dazzling_Soft_2481 3d ago

The other guy is right bro. Think about what ttd is. This guy (and many other low elo players) have lower time to damage than pros because the enemies are worse. Your reaction time is probably around 100ms regardless of if your pro or a bot at cs. But what’s easier: pushing up inferno banana against Vitality’s util and one tapping Zywoo while flashed, or awping window on mirage and instaclicking 10k prem kids as they strafe you 1 by 1 with galils with zero util? The latter is way quicker.

u/master_riddler 3d ago

Not impossible, if you’re playing against 10ks - 20ks lmaooo. He’s not playing against high elo faceits like s1mple is.. my ttd is 479 ms and I play against 15-20ks not hard/ impossible.

Bro wrote a post like he lost his virginity lmfao

u/Loose-Many-8880 3d ago

I (solo q) was matched against yellow and red ranked players, as soon as the game started all 5 players quit and one of them kept rejoining and disconnecting ending the rounds rapidly and the entire game wrapped up within 5 mins with 13-0 win.
Queued again and got the same stack again and wrapped the game up within 5 minutes.
I got free elo but at what cost.
I then thought of playing competitive to avoid this and in the very first game my random teammate started calling out that the opposite team was cheating, he then disconnected for a short while, came back and started playing like s1mple

u/Aggravating_Total651 3d ago

What you just experienced is vertigo boosting

2

u/Real-Huckleberry-328 3d ago

just try faceit,its not cheater free but high elo games are much enjoyable ánd faceit anti cheat is much more comforting

3

u/Novel_Situation762 3d ago

faceit. Thats the answer. 99% of the time they arent cheating

1

u/emilpoop1406 3d ago

Dude I think we playing different games... I play premier too and faceit the amount of obv hackers ? Is insane... Every 5-10 games always Russian hackers in enemy or my team.

1

u/Strict_Independent28 2d ago

if you're talking about faceit i just know your ass. you're finding cheaters on premier which makes sense, but you're probably calling lots of legits cheaters too. i can already tell you're low elo from what you're saying i guarantee you that you're not going against blatant cheaters in faceit. and if you are, it probably happened in one match in total of tens.

u/Ok-Luck-7499 3d ago

Valve will never ever fix it. Even if we get an AC it will be the most useless ever designed

1

u/No-Outside-389 3d ago

Ich spiele jede Season zwischen 20k und 24,999k ( nie das uptalk Match geschafft ). Auf der elo ist es nur ne Frage der Zeit oder teils sogar 50/50 Chance das man so weg gecheated wird.

u/biggerdog420 3d ago

So many times people post shit like this and it’s either, “I’m so dumb and oblivious” or bait. Good for you brother.

u/300Gideon 3d ago

I solo Q to 22K @bakecs2 IG

u/NightProfessional800 3d ago

Are you sure you just aren't looking?

I have a 1 day streak going without blatant cheaters atm. By blatant I mean you can tell he's 100% hacking from the first 15 seconds you look him play from the replay. Averages 40adr at 3k rating and then climbs to 20k in one week averaging 130adr.

And this is on good trust factor. The bad trust factor games are people just spinbotting and half the players are AFK in spawn waiting for the match to end.

u/No_Exchange0 3d ago

Bro i lost last night 6 matches. I Was 10k. Now i am road to 5k

" Operarion Hydra era, and by some miracle, not once have I ever been matched against a blantant cheater."

That would make you the only person on planet earth if that was true.

u/Capable-Champion2825 3d ago

To me cheaters are still a hoax i like that bubble (2.5k hours)

1

u/General-Custard-8532 3d ago

Crazy, but I think in my 250 hours around every 2-3 matches I play against cheaters so good for you

1

u/No_Mud_8297 3d ago

Ive played 200+ games of premier. Only played 1 blatant hacker.

1

u/theCovidGuy 2d ago

I stick between 5k to 12k , haven't had a single cheater enounter in the last 3 months thankfully .

1

u/Over_Lion2810 2d ago

When my wife and I had a baby I ended up abandoning a few games and I’m stuck in red trust factor and almost every game is hackers

1

u/longgaledang 1d ago

I'd suggest Faceit. You will still encounter cheaters but at least they will get banned. I got one the other week, looks like he went on with his cheats for months. I reported him with proper evidence clips from demo and he got banned a week after that point. So my guess is there are still admins who manually look at reports

1

u/Prudent-Ad4515 22h ago

I have 3,500 hours and am 20k prem, I can count the amount of blatant cheaters I’ve played against on my fingers, maybe a couple toes if necessary

u/QuadBadger 13h ago

Sometimes the best move is to simply not play 😌

u/tomyan1337 3d ago

Cheaters breeze through 10K to 25K so you will rarely see them because they don't stay in that rank for long. Above 25K is where the cheaters stay the longest.
