EPTEDIT: The above alongside the screen shot and game durations I should be clear to make people skimming this post not think only WLR has to do with hacking. Apologies for any confusion

I did not expect someone to be this blatant with hacking I mean one loss, playing everize and is in master league with under 40 games played because he is winning at such a high rate. Thats crazy. I was about to say that it was probably not a hacker then I saw the WLR, and who the OP was and I thought.. wow thats madness. It's entirely possible to get that ratio legitimately. There are quite a few smurf accounts that have 30-0 and beyond records, including some that I've studied, and those wins were earned through legitimate means. The proof of hacking here is the spam of messages in the screenshot combined with the abnormally short game durations in his match history which results in the high amount of wins. | ||

Suddenly, I'm more interested in seeing a Wizard battle than in seeing Blizzard bring the accused to justice. I'm not sure why you'd prefer to use a file hosting site with download limits to host a JPG, but imgur takes mere seconds to upload something (no registration required) and has no such limits. I recommend it! | ||

I should have been more articulate with my expression of a high WLR as well as the duration of the games which i took for granted. I failed to think about smurf accounts as well which is probably why I overlooked the additional information in my post. hope I didn;t confuse anyone | ||

I hope they ban the guy soon and fix whatever makes exploits like this possible. Was the same guy even. | ||

I thought the game doesn't promote people until they lose and stabilize mmr? | ||

Blizz is definitely aware of it. EDIT: you'd think they'd have been aware of it during wc3 though? wow. | ||

People have been promoted without losing, it's not unheard of. Furthermore it seems like in the past few months the promotion system has been revised and it doesn't hold players until they skip leagues anymore. We still have a small sample size because it's not common that players will go undefeated for so long. Let's stay on topic though. | ||

On topic: This drop sounds identical to one of the early drop hacks in WC3, where the game would get more and more laggy to the point where you eventually would get dropped. Only way to win was by killing the opponent before that happened. However it didnt take long for an anti drop hack hack to arrive which cancelled the original hack. Ofc it would be much better if Blizzard would just insta-perma-ban these fuckers right away. | ||

Now that people have refreshed my memories, this is indeed like a DOS attack hack. TLO dropped out against the exact same guy on his stream not long ago. Also this kind of hack was rampant in wc3, thought blizz would've known by now | ||

If you don't trust the original download, I reposted the image on imgur a little bit ago.

The download in the OP is just a picture uploaded to a file hosting site. | ||
