Please fix this issue ASAP

I play for 1-2 months and I got red rank last month, and I didn't meet even one cheater. What do you have to do to meet them?

Be a streamer

Why would I be? I mean if you become a streamer, it's a risk you gotta take.
They gave private profiles, hidden names and anonymous mode and even delayed matchmaking, idk... seems like streamers issue, 1% of playerbase. Rather deal with camping and tunneling, devs, that touches entire playerbase.

Be a streamer or have high MMR rating (not the grade that is displayed in the tor right corner. MMR is an invisible number)

The problem is that it may not bother YOU or ME but if content creators stop playing the game right now because cheaters make it stressful for them (e.g. Otzdarva) it hurts the game's publicity. Fewer people will know about the game and fewer new players will come which means: less money for new content in the game.
We don't want that.

You don't have to be a streamer to be impacted by a cheater. I run into them pretty frequently. From what I can tell from my own tickets, it's taking BHVR roughly 30 days to ban people from tickets

Cheaters usually vibe around the top of the MMR brackets.
It's unlikely after 2 months of playing that you'd encounter them.

Just play slightly better than many other players, you'll eventually match with them.
and ONE match with a cheater can completely remove your will to play too.

New people don't come to the game through content creators they use them to learn once they found the game, lol not trying to argue but I'm just pointing out that nobody goes searching for dead by daylight on twitch if they don't even know what the game is

I did. Although not through twitch directly, but because a famous German streamer played dbd with his group back in 2016 for a while (their group was known to bring players to a lot of smaller games). I was just watching his content and got interested in the game after a while. Sadly I could not bring myself to try it till 2018 since I was more of an RPG player and did not know if I would like multi-player and horror in general.
And I'm not talking about the big dbd streamers, I also talk about small streamers who get harassed. But it doesn't matter. What matters is that cheaters ruin these peoples' income.
And what would you say if you were a construction worker and some kids were always making chaos at your construction site? You would probably care. But why should I then? Maybe I am just an office worker who will never have anything to do with it. I still care, because it's important for other people.

I watched a lot of DBD on twitch way before I even tried the game. I got the game last december when game was free on epic, before that I had no intention to even try. With free game I played a few games with a friend, but epic is very limited, not even nvidia recording and filters are working. So in the next few days I bought it on steam, then survivors pack, after some time I try to play killer, was fun, so I bought killers pack and later every single DLC so I can have all the perks and killers. And even now I watch Otz and many other dbd streamers from time to time.

Well I guess I'm wrong then lol , it just didn't seem likely because how would you know what to search on twitch if you don't know the game? Dead by daylight isn't a huge game compared to others I guess was why I had that opinion.
0 -
That's if they even get banned lol there are a few who have been doing it a long time and are well known in the community for it one in particular I won't name but we'll call them CB for security purposes though I'm sure you know who I'm talking about already

I'm personally worried were gonna see a tf2 situation where people will instead start hacking to "punish the hackers" and they think their some kinda watchman hacking against hackers even though 9 times out of 10 they are just good players because the average player doesn't actually know what subtle hacking looks like.

Stick around for a longer time. You are a beginner. It's unlikely to meet them in your particular MMR bracket, but the rest of us do quite often

Ranks mean nothing. Winning a lot of matches so your MMR brings you to mid to high tier is where the cheaters are. Ranks don't raise your MMR. Escapes and kills do, plus the matches have to last longer than 5 minutes. I've played for a year now and I've been running into them for the past 4 months. I also run into SWFS and bully squads, which some also use cheats. Once your matches start to become difficult is when you start to run into cheaters. Some are subtle cheaters who don't want to be caught because they're playing to win. If they get caught, then they hold the game hostage. Others are just blatant, out in the open cheaters who are doing so to promote the cheating software so others will buy it. If you're not a streamer, you'll most likely run into subtle cheaters. The best way I gauged it is when I started playing with other survivors with TTV in their name. That's when I started noticing cheaters almost every match.
