Hi guys, my name is John aka SiuPakChoi and I play from Malaysia on the SEA servers, Singapore. This has reached a point where we really need the developers to look into the influx of hackers in Season 2 Rank mode. I love this game as much as anyone here since Day 1, I am a streamer and I've been streamer this game since the release, and also I play this competitively in my region.
Here's what happened after the launch of S2. Day 1 Rank mode was AWESOME, we were playing against the top teams in the region and it was so competitive and fun. This lasted less than 24 hours, the next day, hackers were already in the game, and this was WAY MORE than pre-season 2. We literally faced against 2-3 squads of hackers in EVERY rank game we were in. We tried switching servers to Taiwan, HK, Tokyo etc. The only server that has less hackers were the ones in OCE / NA / EU, but we have to play in 100ms games. This has become unplayable since on the rank mode. Everytime we lose, we go out and queue for 5 mins and only to be pooled into the same hackers again.
I have lost the momentum to continue with Apex Legends, and my viewers love watching me play this game as much I love playing it. I beg you guys, to look into the issue immediately before more players stop playing it!
RESPAWN, may I suggest something for your anti-cheat measures:
Flag and temporary ban accounts with insane amount of shots hit consistently. eg:- SMG / Rifle shots mid to long range shots: If shots registered on head 90%, or 100% on body, on one clip of ammo, flag it if it happens continuously for a few games, TEMP BAN the account for 24 hours. Let the users appeal it, when they do, investigate the account. How can the accounts reach high levels, or even Gold rank without being banned. Most of the hackers I met are hitting 100% shots on every opponent! Some are body shots, some were 100% headshots, but they manage to climb to GOLD or higher!- This was done in PUBG, accounts get temp banned for unusual game play, and it has helped reducing the hackers
Have a community Overwatch feature- Players in the community, maybe high ranked or players account with X amount of games can make a verdict and watch replays of flagged / temp banned accounts.- For every correct flagging, reward them with something, that gives a little power to the community, and it comes with rewards.
Have a Prime account feature for Rank mode- Players on the Prime account must register their Origins account with a valid phone number / line. That way if they are banned, on top of your HWID ban etc, they also need a new phone number to verify for new accounts. This will be an additional layer of security for the game.
Penalize players who squads with hackers- If players don't report hacker teammates, they will be penalized and rank mode points will be deducted. This will encourage players to report suspicious teammates when they are running rank mode in solo and gets grouped with hackers. Of course, players will only be penalized if only they were proven to be hacking.
Give power to prominent players / streamers to flag account, FLAG ONLY but not ban.- I know people will think about abuses, but same like Overwatch feature, wrongly flagging an account will be penalized and the power will be revoked. I streamed and usually will spectate the players who killed me, and it's ridiculous to see them hitting 100% headshots without being banned, Gold tiers hackers from Day 2 onwards.
If you can't get rid of hackers, then put flagged accounts into the same queue- Let the hackers play against each other!
Sorry for the long post, if you guys have more ideas, or this was highlighted before, please add on to it! PLEASE HELP UPVOTE this so that it doesn't gets worse. I heard NA / EU regions have minimal hackers, please Respawn, save us in the ASIA region. I really really love this game and I don't want to stop playing and streaming it.

@EA_CadeSiuPakChoii Its all about money, until people stop playing stop paying, they won't get the message.
40k people watching shroud saw the same cheaters 3 days in a row and no bans.
They don't care.
