How to Not Lose Points to Modders

I guess if you're a big shot CC, someone from Kabam will jump in during your stream and immediately ban your cheater opponent to make sure you don't lose any points.
And for the rest of us, we just have to lose the points, use the report button, and then never get any compensation or redress.
Got it!

Haven't there also been rumors that if you're a whale who gets caught modding multiple times, you'll never get permabanned, even if an FTP would've under the same circumstances?
So think about all the players who lost points to him along the way and will never get any redress for it, except for Lags, who gets to just avoid it because his Kabam buddies want to help him.
What happened to the whole "It's a process, use the report button, it has to go through the proper channels, etc."?
The other thing happens otherwise too. It's not only for "big shots", miike, pinwheel , jax and others have personally helped solve account issues of those who post on the forums(regular players. Not even forum regulars) without having to go throught the whole support process.
But the other system exists because they can't personally intervene for every single issue.
But here, he basically gets special protection from losing points to a modder, while other players have to lose points and never get any compensation.
Different things.
And I mean, last season C1 and C2 finished with the same points. So every point matters, whether you're competing for the brawl or trying to push into a higher tier for radiance.
The debate of what happens to points when facing a modder is not so simple.
If any player were to face 10 modders over the course of a season, should they be given a flat 150 point bonus at the end of a season? It's not simple and I assume Kabam would rather spent the time to ban and find cheaters than open that can of worms
It's not favoritism. It's a mix of coincidence due to circumstances and the brawl. If kabam happens to see someone blatantly cheating, especially at that level for this event, theyre going to pull the trigger immediately
I assume this stream was after officer hours?... This should have been taken care at the next day in the office... I mean he did cheat a bunch of people worth of 400 points already, what's 1 more even if its on stream?...
Unless they think its a good way to show that cheaters should watch out?..
The only exception is I don't extend this courtesy to myself, since I know most of the time players don't get it. So if someone mods against me in Battlegrounds, I wait until I take the L and then I ban them. I also wonder wtf they were thinking since I have the Kabam banner on my profile picture now but I guess that's another story.
You guys should issue ban reports, just summary stats, after each season.
As Desi said it's a mere coincidence.
Crashed is one of us on modding problem.
I hope the anti cheat team gets more tools and manpower to fight this battle. It's genuinily never-ending battle.
I hope they also make effort to ban players modding contnet, that's where modders journey start which pave their way into bgs.
Any moddder getting banned, I see it as a win.
Maybe fintech pulled it off. He is rocking his new Dev tag now. The enthuastic new member in the team, who knows. Or it was Mike, who probably has seniority and more active presence in the office.
Outside that,
We have ccps in line chats, we forward modders screenshots to them. They forward those to kabam. The modders still gets banned in the end.
But if someone was caught live like here, they better get banned and stopped from doing more damage.
How is kabam supposed to ban a cheater midway our matches.
Let's assume a random player matched with a modder and let's assume(from pure imagination) thier ign is totem.
Is this player totem streaming?
Is someone from kabam watching this stream?
Is Kabam magically supposed to know that a modder needs to be banned?
Here's more off topic info.
I don't care about Lags. But I have always been vocal vs cheating. I used to submit tickets of cheaters, Those tickets always resulted in a ban, some took a week and some few days. But then the new Korean ceo guy took over, he changed policies and modders roamed free.They stopped banning them and I stopped submitting tickets.
I'm happy that, that is not the case anymore as cheaters are taken seriously again.
But
Not satisfied on the content cheaters, they are roaming free these days and have grown in numbers.
