If the guy is holding super tight angles and hits a number of shots before the enemy has even visually appeared on screen, 32 tick or not he's probably triggering

That's a good point, honestly never really dealt with triggerbots much, back in 1.6 it was mostly aim/walls (from what I saw, although maybe trigger was common and just again harder to point out when combined with other stuff).

Generally speaking people don't just triggerbot when they cheat and when they do triggerbot only they usually aren't particularly fluid. It's gonna be impossible to get 100% positive ids but I think you'll know when somebody is cheating usually.

Yeah, typically I would expect someone to be doing walls+trigger or aim+walls.

Hackers are 99% of the time easy as gently caress to point out because they have poor CS skills while being ridiculously good, also, for example, wall hackers will end up looking at walls oddly then smoothly avoid getting pinched and stuff like that.

Gone through quite a few overwatch cases myself and I would say about 20-30% are actually hacking or griefing. The most obvious so far was the guy hitting awp headshots through the doors mid on de_dust2 from t-side by shooting through the right door. A few started out with nothing showing as well and then toggled. But a lot do seem to just be smurfs and you can tell by their movement/crosshair placement they are on a different level then the rest of the people they are playing against.

I've never gotten an overwatch case for griefing. Do you get to see chat/voice?

I only do overwatch once a month now though because its almost always some guy smurfing

The few that I have had are from people that either just sit in spawn and can't be kicked, typically two doing this at the same time, or ones where the suspect constantly runs around a teammate and blocks their shots.

144hz is trippy in this game. It's like uncapping Doom's lock of 36fps. (No one here will understand that analogy but)

So smooth. It's like silk. For the eyeballs.

These days I'm playing Overpass, Cache or Mirage almost exclusively. It's much better than D2. But it seems like I've hit a wall as a MGII and don't know how I can improve my play.

I think my last demo got lost amidst the update discussion, so here's a new one I played today. Can someone give me a brief overview on what I'm doing wrong in this game? It was as if I couldn't hit the side of a barn, while the other side was wrecking us as if we were all bots.

I don't think they care enough to deal with those reports. I assume if a player gets enough, they automatically get a cooldown for griefing or something.

You need 150 wins to get it, after 150 you may immediately get it or it may take a few more wins.

Well, "fun ranks" equals people you poo poo on and drop 40-bombs, so I suppose this is for the better.

It's fun to poo poo on people that get all bent out of shape about it. That literally it.

People get bent out of shape when you poo poo on them in casual, too, although it's less "Play at your own rank" and more "It's casual, bro, stop trying so hard".

It doesn't actually decary, you just lose the rank, play one MM match and you get your rank back, maybe drop by one rank. Had an account I let sit for six months, played 3 MM, lost the first 2 and won the third one and I was MGE instead of DMG the account was left at.

It decays

I've had several smurfs rank back after months and it was significantly lower. One was SMFC>MG2, that was idle for about 4 months.

Yeah, it decays. I was GNM, stopped playing comp for a month or two, won my first game, and now I'm GN1.

The only time I could even get it, is if you have real life friends that you want to play competitive with, but they are seriously so poo poo at the game they are way to low and you are not allowed to queue with them.

I mean people are saying they don't understand why people smurf, but people like to troll and also people obviously like to win, so I find it hard to see what people find so difficult to understand about it.
