Deadlock - New Dota-like TPS by Valve

Don't even know why people bother with popular multiplayer games nowadays. Every server and game is the same.

The state of cheating tech is so far ahead anti-cheat solutions it's not even funny. I've seen a video about a program that uses a PCIE expansion card that allows the cheat program running on another PC to directly access the memory of your gaming PC, and it mirrors the game screen and displays all the information overlays on the other PC's screen, so you can use it even while streaming as nothing will show on your actual game stream.

it doesn't even require that much effort, you can buy small rasp pi level hardware that accomplishes the same thing - why all A/V including kernel level are flat garbage. I've even seen autohotkey aimbots that can't be banned because autohotkey is a legit user program :D

yeah MP FPS died once it hit mainstream and cheat dev's could make serious money.

Forgot to post the patch from last thursday. Aside from balance and map changes, the main thing on this patch is matchmaking/ranked. They have merged normal matchmaking and ranked into one game mode, basically there is no way to avoid competitivefags and tryhards that used to play ranked most of the time. They also added a a leaderboard for normal MMR and hero MMR in the game. Not sure if I like this... I think they should really focus on the fun aspect of the game, not esports shenanigans (they can put somme focus on that later)

The new Patron voices suck ass. I miss when they would practically groan their orders at you from beyond.

I really hope the merging of quickplay and ranked is just an experiment. Sometimes I don't want to sweat out of my mind playing a normal match.

DMA cheats aren't that new and good kernel level anti-cheats like Faceit AC in CS, and Valorant Vanguard (Battleye too, to a lesser extent) can detect and ban them.
The thing with DMA cheats is that although bad ACs like VAC can't do anything about them (VAC can barely do anything about usermode cheats), it still increases the barrier to cheating a ton. Minimum investment for DMA cheats is like 400 dollars, plus a subscription fee for a cheat. Most cheaters aren't willing to go that far.

How the fuck would they detect them when the program isn't even running on the same PC?

You need a signed driver running on the system with the game, and a firmware on the card. Signing drivers is expensive, eventually it gets detected and all cheaters with it get banned.
