Why hack the game?

So I could maybe understand some reasoning for certain hacks, i.e. bloodpoints to lessen the grind, etc. but I recently had a game against a hacker who was speed hacking, insta healing, 2min 30sec insta head on stuns, etc.

My question is why? I honestly dont understand the reason for doing those cheats. You obviously dont "win" because there is no risk/game involved. You dont rake up bloodpoints because you'll likely be banned soon. Why would anyone do those hacks?

    I had a Clown that was using wall and speed hacks recently so he'd just zoom from surv to surv downing, hooking, then waiting for an unhook to waddle back.

    The only reason I can think is just to troll other players.

    The worst thing for me are people who hack leaderboards in video games.

    Because they have no lives other than living in their mom's basement and using other people's scripts to make them look like a smartass.

    However, I don't blame others who attempt to hack back their legacy, and I'm fine if they don't ruin others' gameplay.

    No idea. Faced the same hacker 6 times in 2 months and it was extremely annoying.

    People who hack to ruin other's fun are babies, nothing else.

    When I play against a cheater I literally just AFK. I'll say nothing in end game chat. I would imagine cheating would get really boring very quickly if everyone they faced did this. They get no satisfaction/interaction. They might find it fun for a game or 2, but that's all.

    I'm pretty sure it's literally just people being so insecure that they have to derive their pleasure from bringing others pain (in this case, in the form of ruining their time gaming).

    Why bully people IRL? It's the same mentality, they're small and want to feel powerful.
