Same experience. People always say "Oh maybe they are smurfs, or just really good." No. Elite players are less common than hackers. And these people were actively cheating and not even pretending to not be cheating. Twitchy aiming, insta lock-on head, could go around a corner and kill 4.5 people on the other side before going down. A lot of people mistake cheating for really good players. But if you watch a lot of competitive FPS games, even the pro players do not have perfect aim and ESP. They can't round a corner and frag a whole team who is facing the correct way waiting for them. It is seriously everywhere. League of Legends has a cheating problem. Call of Duty has a cheating problem. Fortnite, PUBG, it is all of the major games. Unfortunately, I think I'm just done with competitive online gaming. Time was you could join a server, play with the same group of people. They would kick anyone with ping over 50. Anymore, there are too many people playing over WIFI with horrible connections teleporting around. And too many people paying $5/mo to get a cheat engine.

Online matchmaking has changed things for the better and for the worse. I used to play BF1942 online and there was no matchmaker. You could browse and join random servers all day, or you found one with a good community on it. You frequented it, you got to know people, and you had a great time. They probably had a good admin presence and any cheaters or toxic people got banned quickly. Used to be too that everyone's computer was almost certainly wired into their router. Now, as you say, most people are one wifi with terrible connections. Now you get placed with random people you'll never see again, a fifth of whom it feels like are cheating anyway.

> League of Legends has a cheating problem No it doesn't. Cheaters are incredibly rare in ranked games. Cheating is an easy way to get your account banned super fast and creating a new account is a huge time investment. You won't find any experienced people saying cheating is a problem in that game.

  Several years ago it was a massive issue with BoL. They've done some serious updates to limit the issue.
