Why Do So Many People Have Wallhacks?

[Borko]

It's insane.

I get seen behind walls constantly, people pre-aiming at me for when I turn a corner, people knowing where I am at all times no matter what.
An Iron Man will shoot at me, I'll go to hide behind a wall for about 8 seconds and then choose a completely different location to come out, and he'll shoot at me right before I turn the corner before he can even see me, NO way of knowing I'll come out there at that exact moment.

I see this crap constantly with this game, it's insane.

"kernel level anti-cheat"
Just remove it, it does literally nothing.

As far as I saw many characters can see through walls at some point, for example on ults.

I won against a cheating black widow in competitive earlier. They were so bad on positioning and awareness. They were trying to constantly shoot through walls and their bot was spazzing out with its aimlock.

We called it out in chat and then just played around that one person pinging where they were. It was always trash spots too.

Why in the hell didn’t they slap in EASYANTICHEAT, DENUVO, and their own custom anti-cheat? You throw those bad boys on, and suddenly hacks go from cheap-ass $3.99-a-week crap to $75-a-month luxury goods. And guess what? The average prankster kid? Outta luck. Only the desperate, middle-aged, can’t-hit-Gold-without-a-crutch types will shell out for that nonsense.

At this rate, I’m thinking quickplay on PC for kicks, but when it’s time to get serious? Console competitive, baby. Yeah, I know console has its quirks—USB aim-asssist-bosters, KB/MOUSE setups, and gamepad delay tweaks—but at least it’s not the wild west of wallhacks and aimbots you’re up against on PC.

Are you sure you're not complaining vs Punisher players specifically? Punisher has a wallhack passive that essentially guarantees prefires

You might enjoy this - a pro Overwatch player spectating a game wherre a cheater is involved, link below.

It's hilarious how bad "kinetic" is. Every time a duellist targets him he panics. The aim bot is also so obvious and the best part (spoiler alert!) it seems the player has already been banned - so I have high hopes for the game and how the people behind manage it :)

during death cams I often see enemies having wall hacks.. like my outline can be seen in the death cams and they weren't on ults. Do some heroes have passives or skills that give wallhacks? Or is it just how death cams work by outlining everybody through walls? edit: i know punishers have legit wall hack like abilities.. im talking about other heroes like ironman in the death cam replays seeing me through obstacles and outlining my hero

This is actually a missconception! I thought the same thing too! But this is a feature for you as a spectator! Think about it, it makes no sense. Even if the player had a wallhack, you wouldn't see it on your computer. It dawned on me the moment I watched the video I posted in my last post.

The seeing characters through walls is a SPECTATOR-feature.

that sounds legit. I probably remembered a few particular ones because i was well-hidden in the death cam but the enemy was still aware of and aimed at me. Some of those memorable ones are probably instances of wall hacks.

No, I know he has that.

[JNKrusty]

Naw it’s legit, played a Thor who was tracing my team through the walls, mainly the healers. Replay ID is 1091747762 and at the 2:20 mark you can see him tracing my team behind the wall on high ground. Watched some more games of his and he does this with multiple melee characters lmao. Swiggle45 (The Thor)

So yeah, they exist lmao.

Yeah you can google to see what hacks are out in the wild.
