Are you actually seeing this leaderboard?

Majority in the Battlegrounds leaderboard top spots are modders. Please take action and ban them!

I literally can’t see it? Where is it?

No, I honestly can’t find right now where I normally see it?

I just checked it out. Not saying that yall are wrong, but what makes it obvious that they're modders?

low top champs, low base hero rating, low prestige.

I wonder if I’m not seeing it because I haven’t played any rounds this time? Or I’m just a moron? Anything is possible, I guess.

Really interested to see the scenes when two modders match each other. I guess it comes down to who is more skilled at downloading mods.

No offense, but does it matter right now? Not saying that catching modders is not important, but the leaderboards don't necessarily give any rewards. Also, just low base hero rating, etc are not actionable proof of cheating. I would rather Kabam take out the majority of modders and the most common ways of cheating during the beta than just focus on the top few.

as much as low base hero rating is not definite proof of cheating, it does help in seeing who's a cheater and who's not. if your top champs are all rank 4 6*s but your base hero rating is 600k or something small, it's very fishy and does raise questions. and it doesn't matter now (except for bragging rights), but i do suspect there will be some prize to those on the leaderboard once the actual mode starts

I personally think their better off not banning them yet. Not until they come up with a program/system that will accurately flag then. If they clearly are modders, its a good way to keep until a program identifies it. Since right now the leader board doesnt matter

I think it's funny how they're not only making themselves known, but they're also helping the team work on solutions. All for no Rewards on the Leaderboard, aside from what everyone else is getting that can easily be taken away.

You know if they are cheating here they are also cheating in other aspect of the game like war.

I'm sure they are spending time behind the scenes working on an effective way to get rid of modders. Seeing as this is just a beta i don't know why they would ban players as they will find a new way to mod that Kabam won't be able to adapt to fast enough.

Beta or not it's still cheating. Just pointless cheating since it's a beta

I kinda hope they ban all accounts played on the device those mods run. So it will also stop any future 'new accounts'. not to mention deter those who want their account run by those modders

I wouldn't say it's pointless
They're probably trying to figure out ways to avoid the checks placed by Kabam's system so that they have a chance to go unnoticed when actual mode hits the servers
Just like Kabam is probably trying to figure out ways to make sure it doesn't happen
Modders have been in game since forever
It's just that they're much more noticeable to the player with the way BGs are structured

The team is taking action against those who violate the rules and is continuing to further develop our methods for detecting them. We are not able to get into the specifics of these methods or share information about particular accounts, as either could make it harder for us to catch others going forward. That said, any detailed reports players are able to submit when they encounter this behavior can help provide more data points and evidence to speed the process along.
