*Impossible to prevent without non trivial performance/stability issues. That paper sounds interesting (too bad its behind a paywall) but no videogame developers have actually implemented anything like that as far as I know (please let me know if I'm wrong, it sounds cool!). But yeah blizzard could be wayyyy more proactive with scanning for new hacks and what not, I get that they like to delay bans and ban in waves in order to hit the most people (otherwise the hack authors just immediately push out an update after a handful of people get banned) but they're definitely lazy/ineffectual about it. I don't know if there IS a great solution now that the game is f2p its pretty easy to dodge bans. Blizzard tried to implement a very active algorithm to detect maphacking in Wings of Liberty (i think). It may have been early Heart of the Swarm. It absolutely obliterated frame rates in team games. So much so, that they simply removed it. Edit: It is probably more correct to say that they tried a system to make it VERY hard to make maphacks work. It seemed to be fiddling with actively changing memory addresses and the like. Sorry, my memory of the particulars is a bit fuzzy by now. | ||

Cheaters really are the plague of online gaming. The stream sniping and BMing is irrelevant. If you don't want to play fair, I say good riddance. | ||

I'd like to believe him that he hasn't hacked since, not with his main account anyway, but since he didn't get properly punished back in the day, so it was due time. It's difficult to defend a toxic guy, but I don't hate him like many do. I hope he has learned his lesson now and uninstalls all lurking and tempting cheating software from his computer. | ||

That paper sounds interesting (too bad its behind a paywall) oops sorry : https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/pubs/papers/onlinegames.pdf Due to costs, he best way would probably be to activate it (the safe networking) only in certain circumstances. (suspicious account, etc.) Otherwise a totally different human approach to mitigating maphack can be to trust more the players and give them more control on the ladder. Let's say some account is being reported as a cheater way lot more than the basal rate. Blizzard won't do anything (if he is not top GM/WCS qualifying/etc), we know it. But you can give the option to other players of blocking him from matchmaking versus you. In Real Life, people simply won't play with you if you cheats every time. With proper safeguarding (can only block 5 active accounts, ..), i can see it as a simple, non-costly and easy-to-implement way to mitigating the worst experiences inflicted by map-hackers. Then one dude like him could not ruin the 2v2/etc. scene for the top 15 teams. He could make a new account, but : -If a new account is created from the same IP/PC fingerprint, inherit the list of people blocking you. -Will have to re-climb the ladder, can't show off their MMR and repeatedly abuses the same legit players (cheaters favorite activity) | ||

The issue is not him being banned now, it's him not being banned for life a long long time ago. He (and a few others) ruined top team play in 2v2 (3v3) for months here and here, a lot of people stopped playing top team play because him cheating for years without being banned. Everyone who played him enough times in team play knows he cheats, and yet this dude even keeps the same nickname, as big as a "Big F***" to the community you can make. And blizzard let this dude ruin the game experience for tens or hundreds of legit players. For years. And now, getting caught a second time (in 5+ years of continuously maphacking at least ), he get the balls to whine. Unreal. quoted for prosperity | ||

Its not because purelegacy has been caught again that u are the "god of finding cheaters". U called way too much legit people "cheaters" during ur streaming career. I am not gonna give manner lessons but you obviously have a huge ego, sometimes delusional, like some featured streamers. Not as bad as avilo but far from being a respectful player. Dont try me because i could prolly list a hundred legit players u called cheater. Anyways, i am glad purelegacy is banned and i hope a ban on his smurf accounts too, the ones he is using to harass people. | ||
