Cheating accusations

I'm curious how often if ever do you get accused of cheating? Specially good huntresses with wallhacks.

    Not often but when I don't run BBQ and chilly rarely will I get someone who calls hacks because I wasn't using it and was finding people easily.

    Rarely, and most of the time it's simply people that don't know what a perk/add-on/item/power does.

    The rest is some sort of mix of people genuinely believing you're cheating, people filled with truly existential dread at the mere thought of admitting they lost fair and square, and people that are just saying stupid stuff in an attempt to do a little bit of very low-effort trolling.

    Twice a year maybe - and I just tell them to watch my VOD. People need excuses aside from their gameplay for why they lose....

    Quite a bit. Mostly from new-ish players (under 500hr).

    I remember a TTV and her whole SWF team calling me a cheater when I played Blight because, and I quote: "In all my time playing this game, I've never seen some one play that killer so well, you just had to be cheating".

    Its not like I was playing that well either, its just her and her goons were really bad. I tried asking her what kind of cheats she thought I had and she refused to elaborate.

    Oh also she only had around 300 hours

  • I was accused for cheating when i found someone based off of their yellow particle effects from the anniversary crowns, they were hiding in a dead dawg saloon bush. They seriously give you a disadvantage.

    I got accused of insta-heal hacking on ps4, because the killer's hit got canceled due to hit validation.

    I got accused of cheating for catching the same survivor in a locker twice as doctor. The best part is that It was another survivor who accused me of it.

    I got accused of cheating by a streamer after I 4Kd. I went to their stream after and saw they typed to their friends and stream chat to report me. I didn't have to worry since the only viewer of the stream was me

    I've been accused pretty often of a lot of random things related to ping/lag. tons of "lag switching" accusations and such. Funny thing is i probably have the best internet I've had my entire life, really fast with great connection all around. So i always find it funny when laggy asf survivors whine about their own garbage internet making the match worse for them. I also once got accused of stream sniping by bumping into a locker as blight, which spooked the streamer out of it and i downed him.

    Rarely. A couple times due to BBQ or other perks, usually one's people do not understand.

    Salt is usually for other things not from people accusing me of cheating.

    Why don't PC players just stop reading the post-game chat?

    i got called a hacker once for "increasing the range on my Deathslinger" - i landed a single sharpshooter score event all game (gideon meatplant btw, so not too many possible snipe locations)


    also i got called a lagswitcher once because the survivors had no idea how Spirit works...


    and then the hundrets of times where survivors couldnt believe i had ears to hear them with through walls / can indeed predict their positioning without seeing them 24/7.

    i once even got a streamer to put in their BRB screen to avoid me "streamsniping them" - even though i was playing Hillbilly (the good old days before his nerf...) and it was incredibly obvious i was running BBQ... (i tend to rewatch the games after i played them, so thats how i found out about this one)

    I once got called a hacker for using Final Judgement as Pyramid Head, because I didn't bring a Mori offering.
