im pretty sure when new season dropped , they mentioned in twab that accounts that are getting umbral echelon ( aka ascendant 0 emblem ) will be heavily monitored, meanwhile i see new accounts with less than 10 hours in game flying around, getting paid to carry other people having 100% accuracy on every snipe and slug shots and still not getting banned
my suggestions for this:
1 - make a delay for rankups weekly , if you rankup from plat to adept, you have to wait for weekly reset to play adept rank, same way from adept to ascendant, that way people dont just create a new account and destroy everyone matches in less than 2 hours
2 - when cheaters get banned, refund all the points that people lost playing against them, and also remove points from all fireteam members that have been carried by them and send them a warning message in game
so far i think these two are effective ones, beside updating anti cheat or finding new ways to counter it , but its just frustrating, i wait 20 minute everytime i want to play a comp match knowing there is no people playing it, and when i find a match its 45% chance they are cheating
any replies and suggestions are appreciated

Edited by Cheat: 6/10/2025 2:43:02 PMI recently swapped from Xbox to PC (and had to learn mouse and keyboard) and when clanmates complained about hackers I told them I didn't really experience ANY of that. But I got the emblem on Xbox and they were in PC player pool. If you can game on controller (and have a console) and want the emblem: try console. There are still REALLY good players there, but I legitimately never ran into any cheaters / hacking shenanigans. I'll probably never play Crucible on PC now if I'm being honest.
