Every Premier match looks like this. Anticheat basically doesn’t exist in this game, and Valve is doing absolutely nothing about cheaters. The Trust Factor system ends up grouping legitimate players together with hardcore cheaters, and this has been happening for years.
VAC Live detects legitimate players and even pro players (e-sports players), but it is completely unable to detect this type of cheating. At this point, it feels like a clear mockery by Valve toward its own player base.
The report system does nothing. ELO lost in these matches is never returned. About 99% of accounts never get banned, and the 1% that eventually do get banned have already caused enough damage to other players, making those bans completely meaningless.
This situation has gone beyond frustration, it’s both ridiculous and sad. Valve allows this to continue for years without real consequences. Players are left stuck, wasting time, losing rank, and playing against obvious cheaters with no protection or compensation.
What’s even worse is the complete lack of transparency or communication. No feedback, no accountability, no real action. Just silence, while the competitive experience keeps getting worse.
