I've not played that much of this game since MMR but i have face at least 3 of them, (And that's just the obvious ones), i just played with one who couldn't heal me since i held shift and they least only held the killer hostage for a minute after the game.

    7 blatant cheaters so far who:

    - instaheal cheated in my face from dying state to healthy state multiple times in a row. (Reported them with video evidence.)

    - insta-repaired-gens (I had 3 survivors in front of me and suddenly 2 gens popped on the other side of the map at the start of the match).

    ... And a high number of "subtle" cheaters who "merely" ran almost as fast as me in a straight line, healed teammates quicker etc.

    I had one of those "subtle" cheaters as a teammate when I played survivor. A Claudette had no medkit and no healing perks but healed me with We'll Make It-ish speed. Same Claudette ran out the gate at easily 200-300% movement speed (it looked a lot faster than Sprint Burst) when only I was next to her. Her exhaustion perk was Dead Hard by the way.

    Only perhaps one subtle cheater this month, and I am not entirely sure. I do not play my Freddy as much who is the only one at high mmr.

    I have been fortunate enough to not face any hackers, maybe because I don't play that much. There was this time recently that I felt a survivor was moving suspiciously fast but I could not really tell.

    In the past month, none.

    I've only seen 2 hackers in this game of all my time of playing this game. One was an insta-healing Meg and the other was a Instant Head On, Infinite Stun, Infinite Blind, Insta-Healing Dwight. I've seen them two about 3-4 months ago, both in the same month.

    Since the new match making system ive seen sooo many more hackers.


    A lot of them are subtle but I do notice their extra move speed.

    A few killer hackers were quite interesting...A wall hacking Huntress who never landed a single hatchet

    Honestly its disgusting how much hackers can actually affect the game....Never seen cheating to this extent.

    Since the sbmm got activated, I've played against 11.

    All of them have been reported with clips attached to them, they are still unbanned as I saw them recently.

    Maybe I've played against subtle cheaters since I've seen some things that do not make sense and sometimes you can feel like they have hope (the perk) activated midmatch, and that is according to my math since normally it takes 27 seconds to get the first hit when they hold W from 1 side to the other.

    Wish I could tell people here their names so they can just dodge lobbies but it is against the rules in here, so basically they are protecting script kiddies here.

    I also made another thread like a week ago in case you wanna waste the script kiddy some time.

    The longest the match can last is 2 hours, some will take the game hostage if you have something to do like get some groceries and stuff, just leave your game running stay in the middle of the map and wait for them to either dc or waste their 2 hours.

    I asked a script kiddy once if they get banned, they said that they do not get banned since the reporting system does NOTHING so yeah, and yes I trust them more than bhvr at this point since they have more reasons to tell us the truth unlike bhvr.
