Anyone finding more cheaters in their games?

It use to be a somewhat rare thing to see, I would get one in maybe twenty matches if that. In my last 20 games, I have had 12 most of them are oddly steam accounts with previous vac bans. Just wondering I am just unlucky? Or is it something other people have noticed in their matchs?

    I had a game vs the Huntress, were I was on a gen with another survivor, and every time we were nearly finished, suddenly the completion bar jumped back like 10%. It happened about 4 times, before we finally could finish the gen. This Huntress also sported the Hex: Lulaby, but there were no skill checks involved on my part, and no explosions, screams or any indication that the Feng on the gen had failed some herself, nor any Scourge Hooks. After the game the Huntress player was a rather yolly and nice chap, so I felt a bit bad, but I send a report. I know, on its own and without video evidence it wont do anything, so I don't actually feel bad, but maaaaybe if like 20 people report this person because of anomalies something is done? But I have no frigging clue how BHVRs internal review system works.

    Well, that's a start.

    Ouch, The two bad ones I just had in the 20 were if I down someone I could not pick them up and was stuck for about a min doing nothing. The other insanely blatant one was a TPer who got through the exit gates while the doors were shut.

    Oh, that one I got once, too! I downed a pesky survivor, and then standing before the hook the prompt to hook wouldnt proceed. I could cancel it if I wanted, but not hook that person. So I did the right thing and just stood there for about a minute motionless, with the other survivors puzzled why I didn't hook their mate, and why they didn't wriggle off. Everyone could see what was going on. Eventually I guess they got bored and let me hook them.

    Another time I had a downed player teleporting over the ground to different placed, until they finally settled somewhere and I had problems picking them up.

    With TPing, I can understand it was maybe lag. Often use escape key and see their ping and it is sometimes 900+ for that person and give them the benefit of the doubt, but you can't lag through an exit gate......

    Had a few in a row a couple weeks back, and only a few were blatantly hacking. The most recent was a few days ago, using a speed hack. I think they thought they were being subtle, but it was pretty obvious. Even the other survivors caught on, though it didn't stop two from using it to teabag at the exits.

    I have seen a couple lately, seems to be related to the time of day. Early in the morning (EU CET) is when I get cheaters more commonly.

    Just had a match where the killer teleported on top of each of us and downed us.

    So yeah, there definetly is a hacker problem.

    I had a lot of cheaters in the winter event but since the lunar event I have seen none, atleast no obvious cheaters, you can never be sure about subtle cheaters.
