You know, I hear shit like this all the time but I’ve never experienced it in the 500 hours I’ve played pubg.

The most extreme form of cheating I’ve seen is a few people using no-recoil scripts, and I’ve never had a problem with the behavior of Chinese players. In fact, I’ve gotten to learn a bit of the language to communicate with them, and it’s great fun to try and cross the language barrier. They often reciprocate, I’m kinda sad I might potentially see less of them.

Maybe it’s because I’m on desktop? Who knows...

Perhaps if you live on the east coast, you are unlikely to be put on the same servers as people in South East Asia. Propagation delays make for regional differences in gaming community, even taking VPNs and stuff into account.
