Is there a way I can send a report ticket to valve?

[Dungo]

I recently ran into a match with someone blatantly cheating (got ace through smoke, would lock onto heads, etc). Is there a way I can report him to valve directly if I can get solid proof of him?

[[deleted]]

Report him in game and try to get others too as well. Then move on.

tl;dr
No way that I'm aware of

Just do a regular report via their profile. Valve doesn't ban based off user reports. If they're really cheating, it's safe to assume that they'll accumulate a lot of reports in a short amount of time. This wil promot a more thorough "investigation" by Valve which usually results in a VAC ban after a few weeks/a month or 2.

If you have evidence, say so in your report followed by a contact email for more information. If you don't know already, Volvo employees don't do emails unless you already have an on going dialog so you probably won't be contacted because they probably won't care (reason being the accused could make another free account). There isn't much to do other than reporting and moving on.

Valve have no time to view 500,000 - 1,000,000 reports. Simply report the player in game and let overwatch handle him.

Reports on profiles don't do much except make the reporting person feel better.

Reports don't lead to VAC bans. In-game reports might lead to an Overwatch review which might lead to a game ban.

Contacting Valve won't help either. OW and VAC don't work that way.

Uh, what are you saying that wasn't already said?

Reports on profiles do nothing. Reports in-game matter. Valve doesn't "investigate". Players review matches. Emailing Valve will do nothing so no point in sending a report via email.

Those links are about Steam issues, not game issues. I report profiles too, but not for cheating, and that is what this is about. Move on.

Been there done that

So no proof that reports are useless? Better not spread that around then

Profile reports for cheating don't get players into Overwatch.

This is correct. Report in-game.

Source? Do you think Valve has the resources? No, they use VAC for automated detection of known cheats, they use VACnet and reports (in-game) to get players to Overwatch for review by players. Valve also have a server-side method of detecting cheats that can lead to an Untrusted Ban. None of these involve Valve investigating games from players.

To add to the above. Valve employed third party paid moderators to deal with the forums because they couldn't keep up. What makes people believe that they have the time to sit and watch for potential cheaters?

Valve doesn't investigate matches (well maybe in some extreme circumstance that isn't relevant here). I mentiond VAC, VACnet, Overwatch and Untrusted bans already.

Waiting for the part where you source that player profile reports do nothing and how they aren't reviewed

Also, what about the countless steam mods/customer support representatives that are hired via third party entities that aren't directly under valve (https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/people)

It's ovbious they have the man power given the thousands of reports that get handled daily - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pcmag.com/news/353463/valve-handles-75k-steam-support-requests-each-day%3famp=1

https://store.steampowered.com/stats/support

Which leads to the implications from be previous sources (https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/7/350543951936791595/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/4qk8z7/does_it_even_do_anything_when_i_report_someone_on/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body) that, when prioritized, reports are handled by staff.

I suspect he knows there is no way Valve has enough employees, or contractors, to watch reported matches but is arguing semantics at this point.

Profile reports don't matter in this context about cheating in CSGO (except for maybe Trust Factor, which we don't know for certain). If they did, spamming would lead to Overwatch, and I'm 99% certain that isn't happening. Who do you think is going to review those cheating reports that come in via profile reports? Valve don't have the resources for that.

That last link is about profile/forum issues, not cheating.

Valve hiring for profile violations has nothing to do with in-game cheating.

Still no cite?

Man, I obviously got baited hard by a troll... I hate how you guys ruin the forms for other productive people trying to figure out their problems...
