Frustration of facing subtle cheaters as a rank 1 killer

This will be a long post. Basically i play alot of killers as initially when i started i found killer gameplay unique to every killer as compared to survivor and i currently have 1.5k hours or more on DBD. I dont have a real killer main but currently i mostly play doctor, ghostface, huntress, deathslinger and myers. My gametime is mostly on killers and i often play against full swf teams on comms around 95% of the time, im on Asia Pacific (Singapore) servers and always match up against thailand players as it is very popular in thailand. I myself am a Malaysian so i dont mix with them as i often type in english while they type in thai. I have not really bothered much about swf anymore as its just how it is, but i often see cheaters in game that run slightly faster than other survivors and can be either bad or good loopers that just uses the speed advantage to run loops much longer. This is most apparent when playing 110% ms killers esp huntress.

Once i faced a claudette that used her dead hard and would loop me in a tire&barrel loop on autohaven and i have ran out of hatchets so i decide to go for a melee hit instead,i followed her path until i got bloodlust 1 and continue chasing but somehow a 115% speed killer cant hit her ass even after looping more than 3 times even without a pallet drop. I understand survivors have smaller hitbox and can hug walls when looping but this is ridiculous. For some reason she just stopped running for half a second and my bloodlust was gone while im still looking at her. After that i realised that she is definitely speed hacking so i just left as there is no way i am getting her without any hatchets.

There are some instances where i was playing 115% killer and i would chase a survivor running away in a straight line that is initially not too far but it would take way longer compared to any normal survivor. What frustrates me is that when I can anticipate a full swf squad on comms and i can play around them, I can know that this survivor is running deadhard, BT etc. But when it comes to these subtle cheating survivors i can't really tell they are cheating until halfway throughout the chase that it takes longer than usual to reach them, and by that time if i switch targets they would already healed up, gens would already be done and the game seems to go downhill real fast. I have in game reported and sent a ticket to dbd support for some of them but currently there is still no reply except from a bot generated reply to my email saying they will look into it.

I understand if the devs close an eye on the swf matter but when it comes to cheating, it is not fun. Add swf with cheating and it is super unfun and toxic. I am not sure if the cheating survivors can choose how much extra movespeed they have or is it like a permanent "hope" perk thing (+7% ms) which it might be. Of course thats not to say i haven't met cheating killers, I have faced nurses that seem to know where every survivor are, huntress that runs at speed of light etc etc. But only very few killers that cheat. While survivors are at a 4-1 ratio to killers, chances of meeting cheating survivors are higher and the issue is being amplified by the advantage they already have with swf. Add on certain map offerings and keys and the whole ordeal is super unfun and unfair for the killer altough i dont really matter with these as i take it at least a free 1 to 2 man escape for them.

I dont know how rampant this issue is on the other dbd servers but i meet these cheaters quite consistently on singapore servers (around 90% thai players) and i just have to rely on the cheaters mistakes or ignore them until i killed 1 or 2 or slugged most of them. I hope this brings attention to the devs as i absulotely love this game when i first started playing and the fact that they release awesome new content into it.
