Accused of Cheating When Making a Guess.

It's always funny when you make a random guess and instantly you get accused of cheating. I mean I just casually decided to open a locker and behold the last survivor was in there.

    Don't worry about it happens to me all the time lol, never got banned for it even though many many people call me a steam sniper, hacker, etc just because I used my brain or guessed correctly. Like I always drop a carried survivor when the last generator is done and instantly hit them just in case they have adrenaline unless I have already been carrying them for a while. Those kinds of experenced reads will definitely get people suspcious of you especially when you read them right, doing things perfectly just makes people think you are a cheater it happens in everygame. Just don't let it get to you, take it like a compliment that these people can't believe that someone who wasn't cheating could do that move, you must have really amazing game sense.

    I don't let them get to me they're not the first survivor to call me a hacker when I'm hillbilly. I've even done the same thing with a different survivor but, as Demo made a random guess opened a locker bam he was in there though they weren't salty about it they just wondered how I knew and I was like just a guess and they were like oh ok.

    Yes it's quite funny when that happens, im sure huntress mains, trickster mains, and dredge mains can all agree that accidental locker grabs are the best lol.

    BRO what is that Billy skin? Badwordhere looks awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a rift cosmetic from a few years back, which could explain why I've never seen it...

    Been there a few times. To the point I streamed to show people, 8/10 times I know exactly what the survivor's are doing / going to do. My friends we're asking "How do you know they are SWF and everything they are doing and going to do?" Truth is, Survivors are predictable, most of all SWF groups. Not that there is anything you can do about it half the time to use it to win, but they are still predictable.

    I had a streak of 4-5 good endgame locker pulls across an hour or two of matches its surprisingly predictable at high mmr since survivors still try (or like to hide in shack) just patrol to where you think they are and its an easy grab especially if you notice a gen that has progress

    there are small things like this that you can pick up on and to some extent it can feel unfair but its just skill on both sides both to get in that position and not be in that position

    For me it usually involves lockers and killer instinct. A few times with artist when a stray bird has gone through or near a locker with a survivor in it, twice where the locker was near a demo portal, and a surprising amount of times with legion which is the most obvious one to watch out for, or so you'd think anyway

    It's just coincidence or pure luck, sometimes it's a fragment of a pixel you can see, or hear a sound... but for survivors, it's ALWAYS cheating!

    Almost all of my Dredge grabs are accidental. I'm not sure why survivors use them when they know it's a Dredge.

    At this point I'm just ready for it. People seem to forget crows scattered around the map are a thing. Accused multiple times of cheating because "there was no way i knew they were in a locker" when i saw crows landing right while hooking someone else

    Did you have a nice conversation with yourself after my 3 messages in endgame chat? LMFAO

    For everybody wondering what happened:

    The OP downed someone on the other side of the map. I went into a random locker not right next to a gen BUT I could (barely) see 1 of them from my locker (it was in the corn like 25 meters away from me). Anyways OP went to check the 3 gens while I was still in the locker, checked the one "close" to my locker last and then went STRAIGHT to my locker not even looking around or anything no going back to the hook to check if I go unhook, no nothing.

    The fact you made a post about this is amusing me. Hit dogs bark I guess but no worries I didn't report you since it's just a waste of time.

    Here's what I did after I hooked Feng I checked the furthest gen to see if it was maybe 99% of completion than ran back to the gen where I downed Feng to see if you were tapped it and than ran back to the hook to see if you were going for an unhook and you weren't went to check out the last gen than decided to randomly guess and check a locker and boom you were inside it.

    You're not the first survivor that I've made a lucky guess on by randomly checking a locker.

    So you accused him of cheating because you were salty that he found you?

    I lov these grabs. If I run out of hatchets and pull a Dwight out of the locker, I just throw HIM at the nearest survivor :'D

    I'm now imagining a Huntress yanks Dwight out of a locker, stares at him a few seconds, shrugs, then we cut to Feng Min on a generator, a small scream, steadily becoming louder is heard until suddenly the Feng Min is hit by a flying Dwight

    I would love it if the huntress could throw not only hatchets but also survivors :'D

    I find that survivors who never play killer can be really quick to accuse killers of cheating because they don't have any understanding of what context clues the killer has to work with, how a lack of info from an info perk is sometimes as telling as having info from that perk, what survivors often do in certain situations, minute audio cues, etc.

    Stuff like this makes me pretty leery of the floated automated report system.

    Throw in camping, tunnelling and slugging into the mix too.

    For some survivors, if the last thing they saw the killer do was hook them, even if the killer ran off to do something else in the mean time, the next time they get found and chased the killer is obviously tunnelling them.

    Also leaving the hook, then chasing another survivor back to the hook = camping.

    And heaven forbid a killer decides to counter your l33t sabo team build by leaving you on the ground to bleed out because they can't get to a hook, that's not allowed!

    Players accuse you of cheating for anything going beyond their little head.

    Open a locker? Cheater!

    Find them? Cheater!

    Hit them? Cheater!

    Juke them? Cheater!

    A survivor who had never played killer once told me Spirit was a teleporter. It took some time to explain what's what.

    Use Darkness Revealed to get even more accusations of cheating

    I just love to invade Dredge's house, take a flashbang, then bring an early dawn to his nightfall.

    Yeah, against Huntress, Trickster, and Dredge I just never get in lockers.
