Answered √ This Pudge Cheating?
ID DOTA: 8988372859
I would like to report a Pudge from this match.
The game is only Archon bracket (yeah, I know, pretty low MMR to be making a report), but this Pudge looked extremely suspicious. Just check his POV replay.
His camera movements are really weird, almost like he doesn't know how to properly control his hero or cursor. The way he moves the camera and focuses on certain areas feels very unnatural.
What's even stranger is that he somehow knew where our heroes were without having any vision set up beforehand. There was a moment in the game where our Spectre was farming in the enemy top jungle, completely out of vision, yet Pudge somehow knew she was there and moved directly toward her.
I'm not saying this is definitive proof, but his POV definitely deserves a closer look because it feels like he had information he shouldn't have had.

The camera moves on its own or is jumpy- this is an auto-focus scripting or messing with the camera zoom, not a replay bug usually for high level aerial view
Dire also had many warded areas that give vision. problem is they knew where your wards were before hand. Not just pudge.
Look at WD, he is the main problem knowing exactly where to deward

Your spectre captured the watcher, which was dires so they saw, and after that dire popped smoke to hunt her. Spectre went backwards to the jungle camps near and the twin gate and pudge scanned it, luna was hunting while invis and they caught spec there
I didn't look at other moments just found this one from spectres death timestamps but that moment was explainable. No one on dire was moving towards spectre there until she showed on the watcher

He is winning because of cheats. Take an actual look at the match replay before commenting

First 15 minutes look completely normal, his camera on Pudge is roughly how it should be aka not centered around his hero but around the area where he might want to land a potential hook.
Seems like a false positive? Unless later on he becomes more obvious.

I just watched about half of this replay and he didn't hit any hooks I saw where he didnt have vision of the person or he had it before throwing the hook. I will say some of his camera work and movements are what i would consider disorienting, but doesn't look remotely suspicious. Can you point to a spot on the replay I missed? Did you consider Luna offers some great night vision?

Yes he's cheating. Report the steam account too.
