Especially when this dude does this to harass the nicest steamer in pubg. Dude is the Bob Ross of pubg for a reason.

I'm actually discussing with Hawkinz what can be done with certain stream snipers. Because we've figured out that one main stream-sniper has been buying PUBG on burner accounts, playing for one hour or so, then refunding the game. Only to do it again on a new account right after that.

Only thing I can thing of is to coordinate with Steam to refuse the refunds somehow. Once he realizes it's going to start costing him every day, it'll stop with a quickness. But that'll take active monitoring from Bluehole and cooperation from Steam (and the guy might just change his name so as to not be recognizable).

No idea what happened to those two specific hackers, however I did snag this screenshot on Monday. It's likely these guys were banned for stream-sniping, since I believe it is a different message if it is for hacking.


I believe that somebody from PUBG (probably Hawkinz) was watching choco's stream and was just banning people when they kept showing up on stream.

Don't steamers play custom matches? If so just make customs unavailable until you've played X hours of matches.

(Yes you could leave it running afk, but by that point you'd be outside the refund window)

Wait what? I thought guys like Choco just dropped normally like the rest of us. Is this a thing?

I mean, I know custom matches exist, but those were for special events like zombie games or whatever not to isolate themselves from the general game population.

Maybe lock matchmaking for the first two hours of gameplay to only match with players that have under X amount of hours in the game? Somehow. Or have baby PUBG rounds that only get populated with less experienced players.

The problem with this is that matchmaking times would be much longer for those people and they're already getting pretty long on some maps since the player base started to drop off a bit.

I haven't been studying death cams much lately but this death felt a little suspicious for some reason.
Are death cams broken in some interesting new way?

If I should take this one at face value:
* Guy's aim snaps around instantly then back before shooting me
* Does not ADS yet headshots me killing me

On the other hand,
* Why would the aim bot miss two shots? Presumably because he did not ADS, and non-ADS shots have randomness.
* Player's stats do not look suspicious
* Failure to show ADS could be a bug (see below)

Note how it incorrectly says 100 players alive, should be 17. Was not actually in the blue. Also, inside of eyeballs etc but I'm used to that particular glitch.
I mean, he probably just shot me fair and square but I hate that they still can't make death cams work.

Without even knowing they're playing, me and BCRock end up in 2-3 choco/Boomzy or destinyschicken games relatively often, just playing regular duos.

This is why smokes are the best, we went on to dinner this one (no idea how we survived when the smoke faded)

While it's most likely lovely, glitchy replay, there are some aimbots that will "miss" some shots to make it less likely to be reported. At least that happened in BF4.

Yeah the fact the guy has a 1.3 KDR tells me he's probably not cheating.

Don't even get me started on the replay. It loads the replay fine, but the UI is missing (I can't see a timeline or players list, or even get the esc menu to exit), and the camera is stuck at water level somewhere in the ocean.
It's just that particular match.

I gave some entertainment to a streamer for 20 minutes. He thought I was a bot. I like how he immediately says I was pretty terrible because I one-shot killed him.

To be fair, much of his critique of your playing rings true... :-D

Like how come you were crouching with a nade in your hand in a room, then scoping the top of the antenna (which is impossible to get to) for a while, etc... Were you high?

Dude, I checked last time I went to the bathroom, I'm not a bot. I killed the dude with an IQ10000 move because I heard him coming and just waited for the right moment. It was loving flawless. Little known fact that if you change your view you can better hear the direction people are moving from. It doesn't mean I was looking at a wall, I was listening in that direction. Sitting there and holding a grenade was multi-tasking doing something else at the same time. You also notice that in FPP you can see around the scope, not just through the scope? That is useful.

How many drugs do you take to play this game (or any game) like this?

As for your seeing around scope comment, it's extremely valid for red dots and holos, not so much a 3x. In your case: you zoomed into part of a tower that had a zero chance of an enemy being there and your surroundings around your scope were literally the god drat sky.

To be honest the funniest part is him saying there are bots because he has been killing people with 0.2 k/d , which happens to be right around your k/d ratio. That dude was pretty chill overall.

I agree, your shotgun kill was perfectly fine playing - it's part and parcel of PUBG that one valid tactic is "when you hear someone, crouch and wait for them". Sucks for him, but who hasn't done that from time to time. He's entitled to whine a bit but his entire rant was a bit much.

But honestly your sluggish scoping and seemingly aimless movement was probably what reminded him of CS bots. That's almost exactly what they do on the easiest level. Except they don't also know when to hide with an S12k

Today, chocoTaco played an Erangel random squad game where he landed Zharki, the circle ended the far southeast coast of Military Island, he wiped a squad getting to a late circle just east of Mil Base while having zero meds and enemy squad together had one kit and one painkiller, then died to a proner who two shot arm shot him. It's amazing that Bluehole still hasn't bothered to make Erangel's loot more tolerable, even though the first thing changed on every competitive game on Erangel is to jack the loot up.

Watch them barely change the dials such that it's totally unnoticeable except one ludicrously common item like a hundred and fifty smoke grenades in every house.
