As a former CSGO player who would've said this previously... Valorant is impressively legit

As someone who was really into CSGO, I can tell you the cheating just gets more subtle.

Up near LE/LEM ranks - no one is using the obvious hacks anymore. Instead it's things like a small autosnap radius for heads (ex: mouse within 3px of a players head? snap to head on fire), auto-recoil control, and map awareness hacks (4 went A, we go B)

It's a similar problem in Valorant - the goal of the cheater in the higher ranks is to get an unfair advantage with just enough of a cheat to leave the other players wondering if they actually cheated at all.

Hell - there are actually hardware cheats now - ex: mouse that will handle recoil for you in these games now.

It's destroyed my interest in the competitive FPS genre entirely.

What about all the DMA radars? My buddy in Malta is making a ton of money selling them. It's not aim bot but full map knowledge can be very powerful.
