Matchmaking actually does try to be balanced! It's definitely not weighted to force losses on you!

pretty much what you just saw

when you're trying to mouse over a small, moving target, it's easier to try and flick your cursor over it and press shoot button than it is to track the target and shoot it.

in that one its p obviously a hack since he's trying to kill mercy and it's sticking to mccree's head while he's respawning

you jerk your mouse to the target and click instead of trying to follow it around before clicking. it takes a bit of predicting the movement out of the picture and your muscle memory gets better at it over time from what im told.

you have your crosshair near a guy and you do a fast sweep over to him

it's easier to do than trying to track the guy I guess? idk why it's better but I do know that it works

well that footage that looks like it was recorded on a toaster is conclusive proof that this proffesional sniper is hacking. Blizzard just hasn't banned him because they're... what? incompetant? corrupt?

Cheating is bad, but I'd love to see a Hanzo aimbot that does ballistic headshots from across the map. Travel time means it would only work against players who are moving in a straight line, but it would still be hilarious.

I've never been in the competitive FPS loop but apparently even hacking in these games require stupid APM, "oh it's a specific hack that he triggers with a hotkey when he's about to press M1" and all.

symmetra is good

she is pretty much my go-to on route 66 and hollywood defense now. they are perfect maps for her.

i like when the enemy reinhardt and his entourage walk past me, scoffing at a mere symmetra, and then i go over and laser his mercy. and the mcree. and the tracer. and the reaper. why are they all even here. why are they ignoring me. why are they all dead.

thats just twitch shooting and while it looks really awkward it works for some reason, from someone who decided to try using the technique yesterday and while not very good at it has noticed a positive effect

he's trying, multiple times, to aim somewhere else and his cursor keeps snapping back to someone who's invulnerable

No because if the weapon isn't hitscan it has travel time and while the projectile is in the air the target it would be aiming at can move.

they exist but obviously that wouldn't work in competition because you'd be hilariously obvious in a setting where people are actually looking for that poo poo as opposed to random pub games. also people that rely entirely on a bot to aim for them tend to be pretty poo poo at movement, which is a dead giveaway for hackers

I would imagine that it'll be fairly infrequent in general with overwatch considering the pricetag and harsh anticheat policy blizzard has going

It's possible to make a projectile aimbot that calculates the vectors and tries to predict based on character distance+movement vs projectile speed. I'm not sure if one has actually been made though.

where is the man to the upper right? also even though i have pretty much learned the hard way that people are invulnerable for a while after rez i still try shooting them in the hopes that I can catch them right as they become vulnerable

Also a single PoTG video isn't evidence, because client desync is totally a thing that happens if you have packet loss. See- everyone in this video complaining about killcams showing them looking at walls and other stuff. I'd need to see more footage to call it.

i mean it was a rhetorical question because apparently now an aimbot is almost indistinguishable from a really good player but thanks for the answers

i suppose it's what happens when your competitive scene develops around online play, you don't see FGC people banned for cheating and macroing they get banned for grabbing girl's asses on camera and threatening people with guns

They're harder to make and are less reliable than hitscan aimbots but they exist. They have to try and predict where the target will be as well as auto aiming at it, so most aimbots just go for hitscan because it's much easier.

There were working projectile aimbots made for TF2 though the only two I know of were never released; they were more proof of concept. They weren't perfect but they were pretty good.

I see a bunch of potgs where the character models just don't load in so they're getting kills on the air

also this one guy who got 2 kills with the soldier ult and then just starts to shoot walls for no reason. no kills while he's doing it, he's just shooting some walls

It's not about him trying to kill someone invulnerable. Just the cursor movement looks completely unnatural, pulling away and then snapping back to the exact same pixel multiple times.

I'm surprised more people aren't experiencing hackers in the Americas. It's been overtly comical these past few days where Widows/Hanzos specifically disengage from a firefight to line up a shot on a corner-flank that has an incoming threat/healer which they would have no knowledge of.
I've called them out on it and they try to claim sonar/ult was up despite visually seeing the ability being off cooldown.

Wallhacks seem to be more common than aimbots/lockons, I've only seen one "possible" aimbot in deathcam where a Tracer was dropping into a fight facing an oncoming enemy 76+Mercy only to 160-spin midair to lock on to me hiding underneath the platform.
