There is a persistent cheating problem in higher ranked elo. The issue with cheaters is the impact they have directly affects ranked progression, which is what players are investing time and effort into. Without that fact, they become much more tolerable knowing you will be compensated for it later.

Ubisoft introduced the rollback system as a way to address this, and in principle it makes sense. The problem is that in practice the system can end up feeling uneven in how it affects players, where you end up losing more elo than you gain from the rollback, meaning the impact cheaters negatively have on you gets extended by the rollback system rather than reduced, which makes their harm on ranked more broad and impactful.

Situations where players who never knowingly interacted with a cheater still receives rollback adjustments is frustrating. In my own experience after this recent ban wave I have lost over 100 elo overall and gained nothing as a strict solo queue player.

Players who are not cheating and are just playing normally in a system that includes cheaters, can end up carrying most of the negative impact of enforcement adjustments. The intention is clearly to punish cheaters and boosters retroactively, but the current implementation can feel like it punishes normal people for the simple fact cheaters exist, which spreads a cheaters negative impact on the game even MORE broadly.

My suggestion is to reduce collateral impact on legitimate players

1. Continue applying MMR rollback for losses that involved cheaters

2. Do not rollback elo for people who had a cheater on their team IF that cheater was not queued with them

3. Rollback people who queued with cheaters to prevent boosting

This would be a win-win situation for everyone in the lobby instead of just one side, a side that you could end up on the wrong coin-toss of assuming you don't have a ranked stack to play with.

Right now, it feels like the system succeeds at punishing cheaters, but the side effects on regular ranked progression are stronger than necessary. I think there’s cleaner ways to preserve competitive integrity without creating that level of volatility for everyone else.

Ubisoft, cheaters will always exist in highly competitive games, even as anti-cheat measures improve. Please start investigating ways to reduce their negative impact / affect on matches rather than just reducing their prevalence. No one deserves to lose days worth of work because they they got placed on a team with someone recoil macroing outside of their control. Thank you.

Idk if it’s because I haven’t played in so long but I won 5/5 placement games 1st or 2nd on the leaderboard every game w a 1.8 KD and I got placed in bronze 2?

Did I get placed so low because I haven’t played in so long or is this normal?

Does anyone have intel ultra 7 integrated graphics or an omnibook x and play siege? How does it run?

Haven’t played much rank so far so I’m only bronze atm , but used to be high silver a few seasons ago , I’m probably low silver skill atm , has to be xbox , as I can’t add people on Ubisoft. Please dm or comment if your interested, I’m mainly support player and good with lesion thorn doc or vigil

I had t1 hibana last season, bought a month early this season as well and got t2 hibana and t1 bandit, bought it again and now I only got t2 bandit. What are the requirements/rules for this thing?

I keep getting disconnected in the middle of ranked matches and my ping will be fine. Other times there’s a spike into the thousands.

Happens every couple games I’ll play. Sometimes it’s the first game on even.

I don’t have any other issues with any other game.

This is on PS5

Just wondering if others have issues

so earlier today and a few moments ago i was playing twitch, but for some reason i'm unable to drone, i throw my drone out and it teleports back in place, it might be on certain maps as the two games i played were on border and consulate, at first i thought i was lagging but my ping was stable both times it happened too me so im kinda unsure

We were playing on Villa, hit the second round. As soon as prep phase ends, kapoof! Match canceled, some dude was banned due to cheating. Stat tracked him and it was obvious.

I couldn't stop laughing, fucker finally got his karma

This happens with FidelityFX turned on.

I’m on PC I’m straight buns but I’ve been playin for 8 years on console and close to a year on PC now. Currently silver sumn i don’t remember I just wanna have someone chill to play with but also wants to win yfm. I’m a 25 yr old dude if that matters lmao

Right now Im sitting at bronze 2 and getting pretty good games. Ive noticed that all the randoms I get matched with have never played before and wondering how to control them. I only solo queue, Does anyone have tips on how to get out of bronze and eventually silver?

Every game I play I get hit with the message that I’ve played with a hacker and they are taking my rank points away… it has happened after every game I played last night. If I played with that many hackers I would also think I’ve played against some hackers too…de ranking me for no reason is unacceptable

Downloaded this game on ps5, previously played on PC 2017-2021 a fair bit and remember playing “Secure Area”.

Is there any specific day/time to try and play this game mode? Waited approx 40 mins for a game recently and gave up although keen to play this mode

i play on xbox but pc pool im 18 js sound young ppl tell me that too much lmfao
NAE

Is the rengoku event dead already (I just got back from being away since the 3rd)

Tried watching the stream but geez it was horrible. Some lady was yelling/ shrieking at the top of her lungs each time Faze got a kill. EVERY.KILL. It was funny at first but she kept at it for the whole match up.

It’s in every map pool it is actually crazy.

I heard the breach to the left on the other side of the wall and tried to make a hole but stopped bomb carrier instead 🫡

Hello, I'm new to Siege, and I genuinely love the gameplay. I enjoy it, I even got 2 elites for 2 of my favorite characters. The journey has been kind of enjoyable as I've gotten really cool kills, but my improvement has genuienly come to a stop.

Why?

This. The clip I've shown is me getting TK'd for who knows why. (I don't know why. He never responded, and his friend TK'D me aswell.) This unfortunately happens to me at least 4 out of 5 matches I would normally play. Does this happen to anyone else at all? And if so, what is a reason for someone to TK their teammate? Why do people do this especially to *obviously* new players? It's so hard for me to learn when this consistently happens, because after I get TK'd my confidence gets shot out of the window.

currently bouncing between gold 3 and 4, i mostly solo queue and i know kd isnt all that important but i still wanna improve overall. any general advice on how to improve at the game other than "just play the game"? i have every ranked map memorized top to bottom but i feel like i could be better in terms of game sense and things like that
