Is it cheating?

Today i played a GC meta Battlegrounds game and lost. This was the first round, what are the odds that this person was cheating?
(My Yelena is rank 4 and this is the safeguard meta).

You should cross out the name of the player at question for cheating, per the forums rules.

What do the fight stats look like? Sunspot could generally take Yelena and be fine, I'm just questioning the time with safeguard. Fight stats would help.

One of the things that bypasses Safeguard is multiple DoT, so it MIGHT be possible. His L2 is pretty nasty. Of course, I have no idea. When in doubt, send a report. They don't ding people for playing legit

It's a bit of a tough one, but seems unlikely. His DoT is never a significant amount of damage, and 29 hits and 29 seconds isn't going to cut it getting through safe guard, especially considering only 11% of the damage is from DoT. The no damage taken doesn't mean much because he has perfect block as long as there's an incinerate on the opponent. Best to report just in case. Kabam will be able to easily tell if they're cheating.

Yes, most likely a cheater, but not for the reasons you cited.

You have nothing to prove that Kabam plants modders and bots in the game. Baseless and pointless to the conversation at hand.

Combos in BGs have been bugged since the beginning. They are unreliable as evidence in any direction.

Safeguard is one of the nodes, so his damage is capped. The damage doesn't indicate anything about his rank.

Can you send a link to the rule that requires crossing out the name?

Not gonna dig for where Kabam has expanded on this and stated specifically that names should be removed from posts making accusations of cheating. You can look that up for yourself if you want. But it is generally known (at least by those who have been here for some time) and has been consistently confirmed (generally through the removal of those images containing names) that this is the rule for such posts.

Talk about being snippy...I don't even know what you're trying to say at this point. You don't know the ranks of either champion because you literally don't know, so you're going on about something you don't have the information to form the definitives you're after.

With the information OP has provided, it is most likely that this is a cheater. No one is saying they're not cheating. But you're adding things to the conversation that have nothing to do with it and injecting even more based on information that you simply don't have. Your ability to replicate a fight without specific information or the nodes isn't helpful either because it isn't a true replication. At the end of the day, this player needs to be reported for Kabam to review and most likely ban.

Thank you for the explanation. I read this rule before and did not get it and even now I do not see the requirement for crossing out the name.

Point is you're making baseless accusations here. You can't prove that Kabam plants cheaters in BGs. The hell is wrong with some of you?

So easy to pointing fingers the second your emotions are shaken. Makes you feel better I suppose but projecting your frustrations is L move. 🚮

Yeah I'm not reading through any of that hogwash. Go take your meds and cool off!

If you don't have any definitive proof to what you're saying it then equates to baseless accusation.
