  • Unfortunately, cheating has been a part of gaming for as long as we can remember.
    Whether it’s screen peeking or blatant wallhacks, some cheeky players are always looking for ways to gain an advantage on the server. And over the years, players have tried some pretty strange things while trying to beat their opponents. So this week, we wanted to look at some of the most ridiculous cheating attempts in esports history.

      The strangest thing is that only around 30% of his runs were cheated, some of the runs he did off-stream. He had the skill to break multiple world records and be one of the best players ever, but that just wasn’t enough for him. It makes no sense lol

      Yep. And it showed in his replays too; they noticed that any WRs he set on-stream, the inputs looked normal in the replay, and the WRs he set off-stream had those inhuman slow-motion inputs to them. He was perfectly capable of setting WRs without cheating and had the streams to prove it, and yet still felt the need to cheat for everything else.

    #6 was honestly a really great/non-weird addition. As someone who has struggled with substance abuse when I got out of the marines after 2 tours of Iraq I understand the dangers it provides all around... The biggest danger of it is dishonesty about use to yourself and others around you. These sorts of things need to be normal to discuss, because it permeates our society more than you know. I had a high paying job from the time when I was an addict & am fortunate to still have it now. But my point of that is I was a functional member of society that no one suspected and I barely made it out with my career and life still intact. Please make it more normal to talk about substance abuse issues no matter what the reason that person may be using is.

    What wasn't mentioned about Riolu and Trackmania's scandal is that Riolu and Wirtual were actually good if not close friends prior to that situation. Wirtual's heart was litterally shattered by this discovery; he couldn't believe it himself. He offered Riolu many, many chances to come forth, admit and apologize, even before the publication of the report, but Riolu always denied. Eventually, as people got more and more convinced about the authenticity of the report and cheating allegations, Riolu totally disappeared from the community; a shame, because he was actually one of the best. He still holds many genuine and un-cheated record runs, and he was always among the fastest and most skilled in online tournaments. It took Wirtual many months to heal from this situation, so much he was shocked; unfortunately, it might have taken even more time for Riolu, if ever.

    While I am not on adderall, I do take something similar and it WORKS. I am diagnosed with ADD and the medication is prescribed to me. I get the dose that I need to function properly every day (not just for tournaments). I notice the difference clearly, both in every day tasks, but also when I am competing. I take a pretty low dose, but if pros are abusing the "short/burst" version of adderall, TRUST me it will make a difference.

    The Zwift story is just as dumb the first time I heard it. How is there being a level-playing field considered cheating? Other racers in the race used the Tron Bike too, they just put in the work to get it. Every racing sport in history is loaded with people throwing money at their problems or inefficiencies. It's not like the Tron Bike is inaccessible to other players. Why does it matter if his account has it or not?
    I remember back in the day League of Legends having rune pages. You needed to grind experience to get all the runes. Riot said "that's dumb, these runes have a significant impact on player power." So they scrapped it and now we have what are essentially talent trees. That's all the Zwift guy did, was bring his competition down to an equal level. Stop covering this bullshit - it's not bizarre because he got the tron bike "illegitimately," it's bizarre because you think Zwift is.

      Fixing bugs in games is not as simple as going into the code and typing "if broken, don't be". Bugs are usually a combination of a bunch of weird issues that nobody thought of or thought would never occur. Also, if only a small number of people are using an exploit and it's not really harming most gameplay, there's also no financial incentive to fix said bugs. Game developers' bosses will assign them to work on something like DLC rather than fix some minor edge case. So it's a lot more complex than just asking devs to fix their games.

Some of these spots have a invisible 1mm ledge that is possible to stand on. If you are standing on something that isn't made to stand on (like the middle of a wall) it's pixelwalking.
