The good alternative is good matchmaking. My experience, is that cheaters usually aren't actually very good. They tend to use things like wall hacks and aim bots as a crutch. With good match making it doesn't really matter. They're going to be at your general level, so you've still got an even chance at winning the game.
And if the matchmaking is really good, then all the cheaters just end up playing with themselves, and there's even less impact on the general community. I could even see people ending up in separate "augmented" tiers, and then you don't even have to feel bad for being lower ranked. In fact, you could end up with bragging rights if you end up in the augmented tier because you look like an aim bot (I've played with players that were almost indistinguishable from aim bots).
- tobias3 7y agoYeah, but matchmaking only works if you have enough players per region and/or small matches. With 64 players per match this becomes difficult really fast. Battlefield has the additional difficulty that some pleople want to (only) play planes or tanks, so another dimension on which to match...
- dageshi 7y agoIt depends on the game, but some communities loathe skill based match making. Apex Legends is currently up in arms about it because upper 20% players are being matched in with top 0.1% players and that means every single game has to be played at peak effort by everyone. There are no "casual" games any more and it's impossible to team up with friends who might have a lower skill level because they'll be matched in with that 0.1% and be decimated.
- Thaxll 7y agoMM doesn't solve any problems in case of cheating. Also there is no such things as "MM being really good" it's a tradoff between many criterias.
- baby 7y agoHaving played in the counter strike competitive scene I can tell you that extremely good players were caught cheating online AND at lan parties during tournaments.
