cheaters are back

GMAC62 (IRL) , giant (GER) whats being done about these build speed hackers ? somehow they've managed to change their ingame build speed to 10-25 % faster build speed then the rest of us !

 You're just a newcomer and probably are not familiar with game mechanics yet. Are you?

🧩 There are no cheats... well there are, but they don't work Online. If you're using any you would most likely receive de-sync information with all the player bases exploding in a result of ending a game for you.

💡 People most likely like GMAC62 and giant are using Hotkeys.
This does change game speed for those who just click and drag.

🚩 Also if you're on low power, you will be building 50% slower.

No im not a newcomer. Infact there are cheats and they do work online. as long as you stay in sync with buildin game mechanics, you dont get a de-sync.

So much to say about this.
Let's begin with, "yes, there are cheaters". Despite what bkmod claims. Cheaters always find a way.

But "no, that 10 to 25% faster is due to using hotkeys". Hotkeys really safe you a lot of time.

If they don't want to explain to you how they play. They want to keep kicking your ass. Don't play with them.
But if they do want to explain to you how they play with hotkeys. Learn from them. Listen to them. So they aren't lonely and ignored anymore for a while.

Personally, the best group was in Red Alert. I relearned Q and hotkeyed map portions. It has been a while though, since I have life.
In td, I swear, exactly 1 of them always cheats and never wants to share his way of playing, nor does he allow you to watch as observer. The rest was just toxic.
In ts, I have seen the replays, most of them are really good. But you need to learn to start grouping units. And some like to share, how they got skilled.
TS is a good group to learn in.

If you don't feel like playing against "cheaters". Don't play with them, period.
