the cheater base is not as bad as ppl claim

[ElectroSharpie]

iv been playing this since pre release and haven't had any issues with alleged cheaters. like at all. every game is going to have cheaters yes. but people getting mad about smurfs or getting in matches with good players just accuse you of cheating lol its sad. more of you need to realise its a skill issue and a you problem.

there is no way people are getting cheaters in ever damn match lol thats just unrealistic. even playing the original smite barely ever had the issue and iv been playing for over a decade lol. not denying there being cheaters but yea yall are dramatic af

I've yet to see a single cheater with over 1k hours in the game. Not sure what people are talking about.

seriously, same lol

I have played Smite 1 for probably 2000+ hours, on and off since Open Beta 2012, and played Smite 2 since Open Beta for about 100 hours, in those more than 10 years of playing the game, I have come across less than a handful of obvious cheaters. To be fair, I am more of a casual player, and don't play in high ranks, so my experience may not be be the same as everyone else's, but I loved the game and played for hours and days, never seen any cheaters.

I think a lot of new or unexperienced players just don't understand the game well enough. They don't know what all the gods or items do, their abilities, their passives, how to read and counter your enemy, and especially how easily you can be countered. All this got even more complex with Smite 2 introducing new mechanics like item active abilities, that can be harder to read sometimes.

Most cheats today are subtle, like slight aim assist or ESP and can go undetected, especially by casual players. So it's true, just because it’s not obvious doesn’t mean it’s not happening, but honestly, most of the time it is just skill. Bad players will always get picked for easy kills by experienced players who see how bad these players are.

Another thing on the side: I would not be surprised if Hi-Rez has turned down their policy on bans, given how small the player base is currently. Banning players when there are so little to begin with is bad business, so honestly, don't be surprised if people won't get banned for harassment or exploiting, even slight cheats.
