this account doesnt even have 50 games on the last 30 days to get a hero icon on the leaderboard
this is just for top ladder boosting purposes, and this region is not that big so u encounter this a lot

Rank averages was Emissary 2 and Emissary 5
Went up against a 5 stack that was most likely smurfing
 
Paradox and Infernus went AFK at 0 minutes. according to the information of the team, this is not the first time. In recent times, MM has become a set of smurfs and babycry players. A large number of players who have 100 games each are playing against 1000+ games. The game needs a normal МM and a hero draft to make things a little better.

Holliday and Lash are insanely obvious smurfs. Lash doesn't have his profile set up yet and Holliday only owns Deadlock and is friends with an account that has 1.2k hours in the game.

Also shittalking and calling people slurs.

Holliday: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199835400896
Lash: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198790376169

EDIT: Holliday is friends with both their main account and a set of multiple Deadlock alt accounts. Every profile has brainrot related jokes on them, have a history of playing Deadlock within the last month, etc. Actual weirdo.

dropped from oracle v to high archon and there is nothing i can do when i get teammates like this. no one in this rank uses their mic, looks at the map, or cares to win. 0 passion in their heart and soul sadly. how 5 people combined have the same kills as me is insane. (id: 46828437)

As expected, you've made an announcement about improving your anti-cheat... meanwhile every single match I've played in the past month+ is just cheating bots.

I've started a match right now, mcginnis in opponent team is full ragehacking on a steam level 1 account with no pfp that he made earlier today.
In what world are you not able to ban this?
 
Aimbotting Infernus. Match ID: 46825531. Really suspicious behavior like snapping to and shooting troopers that are obscured by cover, pre-aiming players behind cover, shooting Ivy while using her statue form (with tracking), snapping to enemy players behind that are outside footstep range, etc.
Not a fan of the 1 hour limit on in-game cheating reporting either. I review replays before reporting and it is inconvenient to wait for a replay to generate and then watch it within that time frame instead of just playing the game and coming back to the match later.

Okay big issue here : the Billy said in voicechat near the end of the game that he was new after being flamed for having fed a Mina in early game. I am in Ritualist I so it's not high level but it's not "New level".

Problem is : I don't know if he was literraly new to Deadlock or trying out Billy but because he was facing a Mina ... I think anyone can agree, there are better to try out a new character / game than to be put in matchmaking rank that's inadequate for trying out new stuff against this character of all thing.
Mina is definetely horrendous to fight for most people.

That's a problem I want to point out : I'm scared of trying out new character because of my average rank.
At this point it's either I'll try and might ruin the game for 5 people on a coin flip or pray matchmaking do it like Fighting games or do and make it rank per character dependant.

My case:

View attachment 66615
This game 46780855 has been absolutely awful for everyone involved.

The vindicta and perhaps haze too are either cheating or very hard smurfing or both. If this is not the case, then this is very bad mm, I am not experienced with Calico and am still ranking at the high bracket for my core skill rating.

Let's avoid such games in the future :)

PS: I'm hoping I'm posting at the right place

Hi!!! I played with this Haze AND Paradox, Match ID 46771641 - I can confirm Haze's aim behavior is extremely suspicious and unusual as hell.

They are definitely cheating, or at least "toggling on and off" in my opinion. I spectated them a good bit during my game (I was Pagie) and they just seemed to know exactly where the enemy was and where they were coming from. Their movement, general game awareness, item countering and peeking behavior was also very odd for this level of lobby (only seen in lower lobbies). This combined with the odd aim behavior and odd decision making in general I'm inclined to believe you're correct they're cheating somehow.

I reported both them and Paradox yesterday when the game took place. They were going by the name "I'm Coming Baby" in my match, but seems now in hindsight they had changed their name to MyTaxi and I can confirm it's the same account you posted. They played Haze in my game too, they seem to be queuing with Paradox so I'm inclined to believe Paradox is also suspicious - at least they had equally odd and suspicious behavior in my game.

Please keep in mind the spectator tool is odd, so just look at that perfect headshot tracking from such an odd angle and movement.

Um. Only first and last shot is a headshot according to replay. Pretty normal Haze behavior. (i've done better))
 
Hey guys, first of all, thanks for your huge work! I really love what you’re doing.

Not long ago, I started meeting cheaters more often than usual. I really want to fight this problem as much as I can, but I couldn’t find any “Cheaters in Matchmaking” thread or something similar. I’d really appreciate it if you could create such a thread - or maybe even add some special spectator modes with moderators in-game and a more advanced report system.

This time, I want to report two cheaters from two matches:
  1. Match ID: 46723317 - Haze is cheating. This guy seems to have some strange aimbot — he keeps shooting people in the head without even pointing his crosshair at them.
  2. Match ID: 46344664 - Vindicta is cheating. Just a regular aimbot.

By the way, in the second game we tried to make the cheater’s life worse by using the Rescue Beam.
That’s why I’d like to suggest adding some options to make a cheater’s game harder:
  • It’s necessary to have an option to kick a player.
  • It might be a good idea to make teammate reports more valuable than enemy reports, since teammates can actually see how the player aims in-game.

And one more thing about my personal frustration…
I still don’t really understand how the match cancelling system works when someone leaves the match. I’ve already lost around 3 games this month just because one of my teammates quit. There is no really good comeback's options to keep fighting without 1-2 teammates and that's sad :(

When someone leaves, there’s a red message in the top-right corner saying that you can leave without ban but you’ll lose. Then the whole team leaves - but is it really fair to lose just because of one teammate? 😥

Holiday was talking in chat and standing in base except for the times they intentionally fed. Build a better system to ban trolls before launching this game please
