Maphack..

[BeefyZealot]

Just played a person that was very clearly using map hack, first sus encounter in 40 games or so. Has anyone encountered cheaters?

What do you mean by map hack? There are a lot of god powers that could seem like a map hack if not aware of it. For example, Loki's Spy, Oranos can see enemies for 25 seconds after damaging them, Oranos Sky Passages, Kronos time shifting, Set Vision. It's also very possible the enemy just has a unit with a longer LOS than your closest unit (i.e Atlantian oracles).

Here comes the denial of something so common more than 1/3rd of players you encounter are using a cheat of some kind.

It isnt a denial, its actually a very good point.
By the way, another possibility is the "omniscience" upgrade,
which literally gives vision of all enemy units/structures..

If there are indeed map hackers, there should be evidence for this.
(like f.e. a replay where a player clearly/constantly sees things he isnt supposed to see)

Saying that an opponent was hacking, without any evidence for this,
is nothing more than an unfounded accusation; an unsubstantiated claim.
And in many cases, it's just "being salty" for losing a game...

If you claim that there are map hackers/cheaters,
then you need to back up that claim, with evidence.
Its not up to anyone else to disprove your claim.
(If you say that it is => shifting the burden of proof)

To be extra clear here: im not saying that cheaters do not exist.
Im saying that i will only believe that this is the case, if i see evidence for it.
And so far, i have seen zero evidence of cheaters in multiplayer.
(cheat codes in singleplayer and mods do not count here,
as cheat codes wont even work in MP, and mods need to be enabled by all players)

Plz share a replay so we can see evidence...

yeah let's see the replay
