The PvP game landscape is just really sad at this point. I have been playing some Deadlock with friends and there's a cheater almost every other game. It's mindboggling to me how there are so many people that would pay money just to ruin the game for everyone else.
It's really depressing that so many people cannot handle losing in a video game. I avoid PvP games now because there's no game that isn't filled with cheaters and rage quitters.
Rocket League doesn't have cheaters. Everything is handled server side, so they would literally have to hack the server to cheat.
Plenty of rage quitters, though. I blame the fact that video games are not like real sports and do fuck all to teach any kind of sportsmanship.
That's not true at all. People figured out how to get nexto bot to play for them in ranked games. I haven't heard about it in a while so they might have fixed it.
There are also invisible car exploits. Also network connection manipulation. These cheaters rank up super fast so 99% of players won't experience them, but there are absolutely cheaters.
