Hacker wins 4* Vulture Arena (New Player Bracket)

Hi All,
Created a new account a little while back. First time I have competed in the featured arena in the New Player bracket - its pretty hard to put together teams of 4 star characters in your first 30 days to compete.
I'm not saying I would have made the top 50 to win him, but I did spend over 500 units, and i'm assuming that the majority of players with accounts under 30 days old would have spend units as well to score over 1 million points (FYI - top 50 cutoff for Miles Morris featured was 750K roughly).
At the top of the leader-board is this:
Im not sure how many of the top 50 have used hacks - I have searched some of the top 20, and most look legit (although a couple have multiple 5 star characters already - which is possible I guess?). But there are a lot of players I cant search due to characters they have used in their name.
I know there is no remedy for this, but it is screwing up legit players.

I reported the account you posted days ago when it won the Miles Morales arena. Along with 30 other accounts from the top 50 who were all obvious cheaters. Some are difficult to track down because the names are in Russian or Chinese characters so hard to search up. Kabam didn't even respond to my e-mail.
Why not? The guy clearly cheated. That throws off the whole arena system. Public shaming is a great idea. Kabam support is horrible.
I reported a hacker with proof and was told he should be able to clear LOL with his 50 k team. Nonsense.
Sad thing is it won't stop. Kabam can only ban so many of them before they make new accounts to cheat again.
Either aggressively go through all the featured champion arena leaderboards from the past month, particularly in beginner bracket, and disqualify any suspicious accounts (this is at least 60% of all accounts in the top 50. I've looked). Then give rewards to those who were cheated.
Or.. just give rewards to the top 100 or 200 players from these arenas for the past month until the cheating issue can be taken care of. Because the problem really is that bad.
This game is made profitable by new players coming in and seeing that they can gain an advantage by spending money. If the first message that these players learn is that, no, actually you can't because Kabam is going to give your rewards to hackers... then... do you really think those players will continue spending? Can this game then survive? I think not.
I've reported no less than 100 of these cheaters and Kabam has only banned a fraction of them. Some of them I reported weeks ago and they are still active today. I think they got sick of hearing from me because they stopped responding to my e-mails.
That's definitely more than enough for 3* Vulture, mate. Don't worry. There's likely just a delay in calculating rewards.
Why not is because it is against the forum rules, and you can be disciplined for repeatedly doing it.
This wasn't about calling out this one player. This is about hackers destroying the arena.
Less than a week after hackers were banned, and Kabam's Email, I thought it would be worthwhile to drop a lot of units in the new player bracket to get Vulture - Why not.... all the hackers just got banned, and the pool is much smaller right?
I'm rightfully annoyed because I spent units (and money) and have been disadvantaged because these bans that were given out missed a lot of obvious cheaters. Raising a ticket to Kabam has not gotten some of these guys banned.
Exactly. If Kabam can't get their act together, it's up to the playbase to highlight these big problems. There is no other way to get the message across.
"Tickets" to kabam are a sure-fire way to raise your stress level, waste your own time and get nothing accomplished.
I understand too, i reported, but it's not my job because i can't lose my time for each player. Kabam can you check the top 50? please...
30th day for my account today and 11 4 star characters, 0 5 star
If you post someone's identity, it becomes calling them out, and it's against the rules. I understand your frustration. I feel the same way about cheating. However, there is a process that we need to go through to Report. Also, it's worth noting that investigation is an ongoing process, and they can't possibly ban every hacker in one swoop. It takes time.
The guy he is talking about already cleared lol 100%. That is where you get that ultron.
What are you talking about. If LOL was the main one they were searching for, they didn't ban this guy. He won LOL because he has that ultron..lol..so you don't know what you are talking about.
Please don't slap my hand. Get real with that nonsense.
That's a common theme though nothing out of the ordinary.
