Cheaters drove me away from this game on PC. No, there aren't as many cheaters as some people make it out to seem. But for me, it created this whole atmosphere and paranoia around the game that made it way less enjoyable. Some cheaters were blatant as hell and hid nothing, and still lasted weeks without being booted to new accounts. And then there's the people you might have suspected to be closet cheaters. Closet cheaters definitely exist, and it's this fact combined with the lack of moderation on even the most blatant cheaters that really put a damper on this game for me.
I finally had to step away when I realized how unhealthy it was to constantly feel this paranoia about the community.
"Are they that good? Was that a super lucky kill? Was it my fault for being in a bad spot, making a bad decision? Or are they bullshoot? Ok they're definitely bullshoot! Wait last match they were untouchable and now I got the jump on them.. did they toggle off? They've got to be cheating, there's no way they could have hit those shots from that distance! If that blatant guy is still running around then there's no way this closet will get banned!"
All these awful thoughts and crap that just weren't healthy to constantly have running through my head while playing. I wouldn't take it to district chat or whispers, but it was all still there affecting me behind the screen. Enough to the point where I switched to exclusively PS4 just for the peace of mind it gave me, being on a platform that would be immensely harder to cheat on. If I got killed in a fishy way on PS4, I was able to write it off as luck or something just because of the different mindset I had in regards to cheating possibility. It may not make a lot of sense, but if it works for me then I can't really complain.
Now, the game's problems are what keep me from playing. Hoping the console update is worth the wait. Not sure why I typed all this. I guess boredom on a sick day away from work.
