Blatant cheating or is there something I’m missing here?

MR_FAN_MAN

Im a fairly high level player with a full deck of r3+ champions, and I love battlegrounds as a mode with its competitiveness and the new rewards, but the resurgence of cheaters is ruining it for me. The amount of times I’ve seen fights finished with 100% health while they take 20-50 hits is ridiculous. It started when radiance released and seems to have only gotten worse each season. Am I just missing something or is this blatant cheating? If so is Kabam doing anything about it?

Edit: these are just the ones I’ve seen in my last few matches, but I’ve seen this done with other champions as well, not just sinister

Others may have been cheating but these look perfectly legitimate. It’s very rare sinister doesn’t finish with full health.

For at least Yelena and Bullseye, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. I absolutely do not think this is cheating.

* Both of those champs have guaranteed critical hits (Bullseye all of the time, Yelena when she's in her Elimination Mode) and Mr. Sinister heals back 70% of all damage he takes when struck by critical hits. Assuming your opponent also has the Recovery mastery, he heals back around 80% of all damage from either of those champions.
* He's bleed resistant, which means that neither of those two champs' instant bleed effects will damage him in the slightest.
* Additionally, since he is bleed resistant and places bleeds on himself, he regens continuously throughout the fight. So not only do those hits deal basically no damage to him, he also tops himself up the entire fight.

I'm not entirely sure how he could withstand that many hits from Fantman since he doesn't have those same guaranteed critical hits that make him almost unkillable when fighting specifically Bullseye and Yelena, but at the very least he would still be regenerating continuously thorughout that the fight against Fantman as well.

The fight time looks legit

Sinister heals back so it's normal

I understand now that Sinister is very sustainable and tanky, but the main issue I have here is the number of hits taken. I don't see how or why these people are managing to get hit 40 times in a single bgs fight? Is there some sort of strategy with sinister in these fights where you let yourself get hit?

Hits taken when blocking are also counted so damage is very minimal

Blocked hits count for both attackers and defenders. Check the stats of your perfect rounds.

Some of those hits received counts look a little sketchy, but the times look completely legit.

With sinister you can just eat sp1s from those champs, especially early in the fight. As long as he can pause his stuns, he’s going to have willpower cranking the entire fight.

Hits taken on block are still counted as hits, the reason why sinister has 100% health is because he can heal on the bleed he puts on himself.
