Can't tell who cheated if "hide other names" is turned on and the name is too long to show numbers

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE:

I have enabled the "hide other player names" option, which replaces the player names with the character name. If two player have the same character, every player gets a number behind his name.

In my game, I had two "William "Bill" Overbeck" Each of the two Williamses receives a number at the end of their name to distinguish them. Unfortunately, you don't see this number in the lobby or in the game, but only on the end screen.

One of the two William's was an obvious cheater with super speed. The other William was a normal player. Unfortunately, I'm not able to say which of the two William is the cheater, as the assigned number is only visible on the end screen and not while the match is running. Since the end screen sorts by bloodpoints and don't follow the match screen it is impossible to tell who the cheater was.

The name should not be abbreviated with dots in the match.

PLATFORM:

Steam

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURRED:

Have "hide other player names" option enabled or have two players in anonymous mode playing as William "Bill" Overbeck. Their names are only shown in abbreviated form without the number to distinguish them at the end screen.

  • Lobby don't show the number.
  • In the match the left side don't show the number
  • the ESC screen don't show the number

VIDEO / SCREENSHOTS:

A video of the match can be provided on request. Posting it here is against the forum rules, since it would show a cheating player.
