Overwatch is more dependent upon teamwork, ability usage, positioning, etc.
replyCheating is endemic in BR and tactical shooter type games. I remember one f2p game was deleting 50,000 cheater accounts every month.
A key phrase being free to play.
replyIf the developer's winning $20 per cheater detection, and puts in extra resources when there's more cheaters, the equilibrium ends up a lot better.
And even for free games, I could imagine different ways to tie a monetary stake in in exchange for skipping invasive anticheats.
I recently had my faith shattered with I saw someone lock onto an ally through a wall in a kill cam, and I haven't played sense.
replyBlatant cheaters are bad in some ways, but subtle cheat are far worse imo.
There's no reason that kind of client behavior can't be detected server side.
replyDetect the mouse moving in a "non-human way"? If it were that easy there'd be no hackers. And even if it where, what about wall hacks?
replyYou can detect with high confidence that a player is aiming at something that shouldn't be visible to them. That goes for both aim bots and wall hacks. The longer they play and the more they do it, the higher the confidence. If you don't want to instaban them because you don't trust the detection enough, use it as a preselection of players to manually review.
