Macros Ruining Game

Come on Ubi. Start cracking down on recoil macros. You'd destroy 90% of the higher elo kids who dont deserve it

Recoil macros, seen some people talking about them not that long ago on the forums. Some are sold as scripts for mouse programs, others are from mice themselves. Essentially allows players to use whatever weapon they want, free of recoil, like the F2, C8, Scorpion, SMG-11, etc.

They're a pain in the ass, more than you'd imagine, like Torean said, word for word, it allows mediocre players to get higher ELOs than they deserve.

No-recoil, no-spread, fire rate, and other similar macros have been an issue in PvP FPSes for 10 years or more. They are not detected as software by anticheats, so the only solutions I can think of offhand are

-server-side detection for abnormal correction/absence of spray
-a system of reviewing players manually by spectating, though I doubt this is practical
-the ability to play on non-Ubi servers where server owners can add plugins to detect macros, or ban players manually

This IS actually practical. CSGO's overwatch system could be introduced since match replays are now a thing

That's true. Might be an idea!

I don't think there's a solution to macros, just like I don't think there's a solution to toxicity, the only thing you can do to combat it is having a good playerbase. Can't remember the last time I played a casual AKA "quick"match where everybody just had fun, played all recruits, etc.

When you build a game off of E-Sports, you need to be prepared for those kinds of audiences, like macro users and various other cheaters.

I miss the fun and they made the game way too competitive outside of ranked.

I hate those macros. A lot of people don't consider it cheating or simply "lightweight / excusable" but wtf? Not only does it grant you prerfect maneuvrability because you don't have to worry about recoil-compensation, which is a huge benefit in itself you can literally just lolspaz all over the place without any thought, but the macro makes it so that every bullet hits the exact same spot like a laser, so if the gun has a high fire rate (which people with these macros tend to favor) it'll kill you as fast as any headshot no matter where they hit.

Pretty much a guaranteed instakill.

Oh and I've not had a single MMR adjustment all season. Did they stop MMR adjustments, or did they just give up on anti-cheat alltogether? Because I've not seen as many cheats this season as previous ones, it's actually been good in that regard, but there's still been quite a few obvious ones so that's weird to me that I've not had a single one.

https://youtu.be/5hmai-zR4dk (2:26) Some do use macros but a lot of them are adjusting the ini file, Influencer/ content creators can do this and show how to adjust it. Yet the regular players are gonna get banned for it. But one could adjust their sens through this file and get his/her aim to have almost no recoil. They should allow it or not, but they shouldn't be bias and let them walk and then turn around and ban regular players.
