Not the first time this clowns says something similar, same as that Richard Lewis guy who was saying how cheaters are basically just a myth. Then I found his steam profile which showed he only played like 5 maps in a year on lowest possible rank, yeah no shit there are no cheaters on that level, they keep going up with wins.
Edit:
I still haven’t even finished my placing matches in premier, tried one few days ago on 22-23k elo lobby, had one guy in my team on 2 PCs, with one he was afk and with other he used aimbot so we couldn’t even kick him.
You too can dispel the rampant cheating narrative by not being a dickhead (=high trust factor) and actually playing the game (20k+ premier, occasional 25k+ games, last time I ran into a cheater was january)

Damn, he’s still around, haven’t watched him in like 5 yaers
Lucidification
You have to be a high rank to get cheaters if you have good trust factor. And war owl sucks lmao

Try playing above 25k on premier and report back after 5 games.

I think trust factor is a big reason some might feel like the game is full of cheaters.
Friend of mine ended up playing with another longtime friend of his that bought and used cheats for like 2 weeks without telling anybody, until he confessed they suspected it but didn’t know for sure, no one plays with him anymore.
Even so it absolutely destroyed my friend’s trust factor, when I match with him we run into cheaters 1 out of 2 matches, but without him it is still very rare.
Of course this is for the casual folk, we only play premier at around 15-20k elo, if you go anywhere above that even with a perfect trust factor it is unfortunately a cesspool.

Despite him only having played against one cheater I guarantee that there was cheating accusations in 90% of the matches, people are far too paranoid about cheaters and end up constantly accusing legit players and furthering their own paranoia.

Trust Factor + Region + when you play, make a huge difference in the amount of cheaters you face. I almost exclusively play after 5 pm, on a high trust factor account, in the US, and cheating has never been a big problem for me.

I think it’s a regional thing. I have only faced a few cheaters as well and I’m in NA

Have around 50 games with a five stack over the last month. Seen one ragehacker that has also since been banned. ~17k ELO in EU.

Playing around 25K elo in EU is a fucking cancer. Cheaters are plaguing. 8 blatant hackers out of 9 matches last weekend, full on rage hack-spinbotting degenerates
Mr-hoffelpuff
it is true, cs does not have an cheating problem. its all fabricated and the people saying they never have been playing against cheaters should be used as evidence that cheaters are not in the game and the people that say they have played against cheaters should not be believed for some reason.
all hail the copium
all hail the casino.

He needs to try play in EU 25k+ then see the reality.
Trust factor also matters but once you get high enough even that can’t save you from the cheaters.
After you get high enough you really do just have to go to FaceIT or it becomes unplayable.

AFAIK I’ve never played against a cheater in CS2. I’ve hovered between 9k-14k rating though so maybe the cheaters are generally higher rank than that

I’ve run into fewer cheaters recently at 24k, but that doesn’t really mean anything has changed. There have been good and bad periods for years. It’s just luck and trust factor

Yes, Valve show us then top 100 people in scoreboard. Surely they are gonna be majority legit and not cheating, right? According to CSstats, I encountered over 32 players who were banned this month. Thats not even half of the cheaters I met. Stupid take as always WarOwl.
Glorplebop
I never have cheaters in the games I win but when I lose there are always at least 4 closet cheaters. Sometimes they hide it so well it doesn’t even look like they are cheating.

I have 0% trust in VAC as long as DM is full of obvious bots with aimlocks. Even worse if they let the bots farm on purpose (highly likely)

This is how VAC works. Large, sweeping ban waves come in, cheaters are vacant and games are mostly legit, and then 2 months later a new set of cheats that VAC cannot detect runs rampant for a few weeks. It’s a cat and mouse cycle that is difficult to anecdotally speak about, because in two months waters might be infested again.

Idk I have been playing some as well and I get a cheater every other game

Depends on the elo. 30k is absolutely unplayable atm
