    Reminder RL doesnt play the game and likely hasnt played it actively in years and years.

    15+ upvotes on a post about Richard Lewis from someone who only posts stuff from him, while the rest of /new sits at sub 5 votes?

    This might’ve been the case a few years ago but especially now in high elo its not. I mean we had a post from a really good player a few days ago demo reviewing for cheaters and finding 20% of the players obviously cheating…

    Cheating in CS2 is 100% not overblown. Both Premier and Competitive Matchmaking are rampant with them and the fact that RL continues to ham on about this situation being overblown despite rarely playing the game in either mode is actually insane.

    Laughably out of touch. Every matchmaking game above 15k elo has somebody spinning, there’s no ambiguity as to whether they’re cheating.

    Valve employees don’t need to take shower because RL is great with his tongue

    The next time I get killed through 10 walls at the start of the round, I will know, that’s a skill issue.

  8. This man-child claims to be a journalist? With the illogical way of thinking and major bias?

  9. IN the last 4-5 months i had more spinboters than in 4-5 years of csgo…I have no idea who the hell is this guy , but hes either delusional or havent played cs2…

  10. I definitely meet more spinners than closet hackers nowadays lol people arent even afraid to spin and get 50 kills every game, that’s the sad truth

    10/14 games at 20k elo… 7 of them had ragehackers and the rest were “legit” cheating until we started winning and then went full rage.

    The game is fucked and this clown knows Jack shit like always.

  12. Silver bot (forma de retardo) RL doesn’t understand that anyone above 16-17k will meet ragehackers every single day.

    I find him so insufferable in his own little echo chamber. Never ever seen him play and I don’t know if he is aware of the magnitude of this problem which is affecting our favourite game on a daily basis.

    stop giving 40 year old mongoloid attention

    Why would I give a fuck about the opinion of a guy who doesn’t even play?

  16. Ripheart789

    I have heard speculation that it might be because trust factor is lowered when you play faceit, and so people who play a lot of faceit and occasionally try MM, might run into more cheaters.

    Lmao this manchild needs to hop on premiere and get aced by a scout

  18. I started CSGO in 2016. I have seen more blatant cheaters since CS2’s release than I ever did in the 8000 hours I spent playing the game.

  19. RekrabAlreadyTaken

    I get cheaters even in my inferno nova 1 games

  20. Fallsyooo

    Tell this to my 60+% rate with cheaters in game on my smurf.

    I have games where 8/10 ppl. are banned. It’s So funny that the game crashes on the major.

    Cs2 Release = AAA Title Release (Bullshit)

    I been playing cs since 1.5 and quit after 2 weeks of CS2 and i am not planning on touching the game again. Btw I hope the skin market bubble explodes.

    I played 3 games (unranked comp not premiere) yesterday and had two cheaters. Thankfully they kicked the first because he was a spin bot but the other was trying to hid it.

    Seriously 2 in 3 games is awful. CSGO was Never this bad. I would say my group gets at least one actual cheater a session and one or two very very impressive level 3’s.

    I just don’t like this guy. He has no f’in clue what he is talking about regardless of how long he’s been in the scene. Play Premier >15k elo and you will play 20 games and 15 times face obvious cheaters. Not even “legit” cheating

  23. 2 wingman matches, 3 cheaters. and 2 of them weren’t even trying to hide anything
