There were a couple guys on NA ladder that I used to consistently beat and would just always claim I was hacking even if I was streaming or something. It was kind of amusing.

I've once met a maphacker, twice in a row. And it was really obvious. He had an inject hack aswell I believe, and never sent an overlord even halfway across the map. Apart from that, yeah, a lot of speculation but it's mostly due to people not knowing what the opponent actually saw.

Pretty much what everone else said, enjoy the salt and be happy you aren't godlike in cs and get banned after 20 minutes from every server you join -.- .

I've been accused of hacking before in SC2, and recently the poor victim of my Potm arrow in Dota 2 called out "hacker!" when I landed a obvious lucky arrow by blindly shooting it into his jungle and killing him with it.

I've been accused of hacking on a cs1.6 dm server, of all places. I made several awp kills through a wall against a guy who was using the most predictable dodge, haha.

OP you are wrong. Hackers are very prevalent. Denial doesn't help the state of the game. I've played SC for 14 years and have come across many hackers.. sometimes 100% sure they hack, sometimes 95%, etc. I've falsely accused people of hacking. I've falsely been accused of hacking.

I've visited the maphack websites where it shows a counter of downloads.. 1,000,000+..

You have what I call head-in-the-sand-syndrome.

That said, most hackers are lazy and weak players who look for the cheap route to victory. Macro play and good mechanics typically demolishes them.

I'm not saying noone is hacking. Hacking is a serious issue.
But most people are not and accusing everyone of it just because the game offers tools that make the opponent know stuff without you knowing (like XNWT or just spotting while not being spotted) or because an opponent knows build orders and timings and you are not realizing how obvious you are playing is pretty stupid.
And counterproductive if anything. Reporting each and everybody to blizzard because you can't deal with losing does not make the job to find real hackers easier.

I recall back in WoL I would "catch" a lotta people map hacking in Protoss vs Protoss. This matchup made it easy for me to tell. Blind proxy gates on 4 spawn map, magically finding obscure pylons (direct path of travel, no scouting elsewhere). The most annoying is when they would try to hard counter your tech, or blink into bases your army was not at. Eventually I had to learn to identify map hackers and play knowing they were watching (which gave me an advantage). Moral of the story is a lot of people used to cheat. Would not be surprised if this is still the case.

Live on in blissful ignorance. *LOTS* of people are maphacking. That's why it's common for people to assume that you are, too. I've gone over the replays of fishy ladder games maybe a few dozen times, and they've been definitely hacking at least 2/3 of them. Those are just the people that are bad enough at it to be obvious for me to CHECK.

Yeah, you are right about this. Many people are naive about how easy and how rampant maphacking really is. I know guys who have maphacked since season 1 and never got banned.

Yeah you're clueless..maphacking is fucking rampant on ladder these days. Youre probably just fortunate enough to not encounter it or bad enough to not realize its happening to you.
