EA got their anticheat from dollar tree

This and SBMM is the reason everyone is not playing apex. This game is not fun anymore. I am on console, and you are either getting teamed against or going against top 100 preds there is no in between anymore. When you have to play for 3 or 4 hours just to get 1 good game then it's time to move on to something else.

Its amazing how everytime a game says "We upgraded our Anti-Cheat!" the cheats get more absurd and more obvious. Its almost like cheaters feel challenged.

As a software engineer, I'd like to put my 2 cents here. This is just an opinion - roughly half my friends work, or USED TO work at game dev studios (some at big AAA names), so I have some insight on what's going on in that industry (from a dev's perspective), but I know nobody who's working for Respawn. I just hear what's the word in other studios. And what's happening is this: As everyone knows, these past few years, many people in IT have been laid off. As a matter of fact, it has become a popular thing to fire those pesky, overpaid, lazy dudes! By that I mean that stakeholders like it. They hand out bonuses for if - Elon Musk did it at Twitter, so it MUST be a good thing, right? Now, the reason I've never worked in the game industry and probably never will is because I work for money. I'm very good in my trade, but for me, software development is a trade, and being good in it is the way I can make more money. It's my main motivator. Game devs are different. Almost every game dev I know is passionate about their jobs. They work long hours for subpar pay, but usually they're very happy about MAKING GAMES. And the thing with passion and enthusiasm is that it's very easy to quench the flames - for example, by laying off members of the team. The team working at Respawn was already doing an admirable job at keeping the game functional, seeing that they've already lost many old devs who made Titanfall - game engines ARE A MESS usually, and if you fire, let's say, 5-10% of a team which was already stretched thin (and the game is actually doing VERY WELL financially so there shouldn't be a financial reason to fire people from that team), you'll crush morale. It's pretty cr.ppy, working at a place after a wave of layoffs, even if you were spared - not only is your workload now larger, but suddenly John who new how XY used to work is not there anymore, NATURALLY, the only documentation was written on the backside of a pizza box 3 years ago, even if you tried, you couldn't hit the deadlines... and you never know when will the next a-hole fly to your office in their fancy private jet to tell you and your remaining mates that you're, like, way too lazy and expensive to keep around so start packing. And they'll get a bonus for "cutting costs". So people will start getting by with the bare minimum of effort in their job - half of them will be busy trying to find a new gig somewhere else, half of them will be just depressed and low on morale. It may not be immediately noticeable for upper management, but the output of the team will be very low. This is way more evident with online games where content tends to change rapidly, as things'll fall apart way faster if nobody cares (and games in general require constant maintenance to stay functional, due to generally having a very low code quality - mostly it's just patches upon patches). So I very much doubt that Respawn will do anything about the cheaters in the immediate future.

Smurfs and cheaters are why I finally uninstalled this game unfortunately. This was my all time favorite game too so it really sucks

The only way to avoid cheaters at this point is the Firing Range

I keep saying it, hold back your money from the game until they improve things, nobody listens lol. Companies listen to what the money does. Especially EA

Ranked? I've seen em there, but ive also seen them in the LTM's. I've had half of the TDM and Lockdown lobbies filled w\ bots and a handfull of player's. It's all so tiresome.

"After the ALGS we fixed the system and improved the anti-cheat in the game" Yeaaaah my BALLZ

This also explains press in pubs. They’re fed up with the cheating in ranked and move to pubs. Then your average player is getting annihilated, wondering “Why the hell are there so many sweats in my lobby?!?!” Cheaters cause a chain reaction of misery.

Oh my god, Jankz doesn't usually cuss much, so when they grabbed the Kraber and he just went "Son of a bitch..." it caught me SO off guard XD

That last sentence was hilarious! “I’m sure they are doing something about it”. Haha I’ve been hoping that for several seasons but it just gets worse.

18:36 first time I’ve heard Jankz cuss in a LONG TIME

I was playing a pub match this morning, and I was cooking. 3.3k damage with 7 teams left and out of no where I get one clipped like it was no one's business. I stayed and watched play. this man wasn't even aiming he was hip firing from like 100 meters away.

Apex Rank has no meaning.

I used to think I was safe on console, but this past week has been eye opening. It’s sad that people find fun out of that.

I just started playing ranked. There are cheaters even in rookie lobbies with macros, smurfing, hacking is crazy. It is definitely not fun at any level, especially as casual player who tries to enjoy some downtime.

Its funny because this game is what.... 5 years old and Respawn / EA has hardly done anything about the cheating problem the entire time the game has been out. Will they do something now suddenly because we complain more about it? Probably not.

Season 21 pred badge will forever be a mark of shame

It's the fact they also celebrate when they win like they are that good at the game..sad as fuk ..this game will be dead on pc soon..

That's so funny I've definitely died to young breezy before and I thought it was suspect but I only watched for 2 minutes and saw the potato movement and assumed that he just hit a nice one clip with the havoc

It’s very true🤣.. these cheaters are colluding together now. It’s like a new type of don’t get caught system lol.. bet they have some type of tag to where they know who’s apart of the cheating brotherhood 😭. And that rev, if you watch it closely.. you can see that pull on the gun directing to that player is so strong man

12:35 It went from being fun to being a kill everyone challenge in hitman, front row seats to a horror movie massacre.

We went from playing to watching gameplays to seeing our favorite youtubers watching cheaters gameplays because it is so infested that it cannot be played, incredible

Its funny when itemp gets mad his brummy accent comes out xx

Loving the ranked content Jankz 💪🏽

So I just got a pc and have been considering switching over from Xbox. But I love playing on controller - are the lobbies so bad that it’d probably be better to just stay on console?

Jesus, it is so disgusting. 5-6 EA Execs bag 60 million in 2024 and fired 400+ people while the game gets worse with blatant cheaters and they will still make bank next week with gamers still buying the “event” next Tuesday.

Hey Jankz it's been a while since I've seen you in my feed. Great to see the vid bro💯 also I miss this trio💯

the whole sentence of ''when you die to a cheater and you spectate them they die to another cheater'' is wild what even is this game

I feel really sad in games nowadays but I have now switched from PVP games to PVE the joy of being able to play a game with friends and not have to worry about cheating is amazing great

Canonically accurate Revenant lol

been getting squads that team up in every match on ranked. Ridiculous game

Ive found over the last year or so, when you get a lot of cheaters in pubs, play ranked. And visaversa. They seem to always practice on pubs at around the same time or rank up all at the same time.

The amount of cheaters is crazy. Unfortunately most people run into a few but once you get into higher ranks its absurd theres more then 1 in every game, take last season into example when over 60% of players in masters rank got banned

I have been playing since day one and I'm even seeing them in the ltm matches like control gun game and solos.its wild

Not just ranked..... pubs also.

This is called addiction. Something frustrates you and you continue that activity just causing yourself stress. I dropped this game months ago and not coming back

pretty happy that lifeline got krabered by "exodia the forbidden one" lmao

Hey Jankz! I wonder if the cheaters are making it so you don't even want to open the game until the problem is fixed. Anyways thanks for the content as usual!

Keep exposing the truth 🔥💯 This is for sure the normal Apex experience,, yes, let them know

You know it's serious, because Janz actually cursed.😂😂 My guy dropped the B word with conviction.

😂 hahaha so this is jankz way of telling apex to fix their game lol I swear

This is the craziest thing bc I’ve played with this young breezy guy several times and I was like man he’s cracked lol

I was the kind of person who only hopped on to play ranked, now I basically only play mixtape and quads

this ranked season has been ridiculous.

I'm just happy I spent my entire teenage years enjoying video games and didn't have to deal with these garbage cheaters, it's so bad I don't even really game anymore tbh

I’ve had that Young Breezy guy in my pub game once and I had him on my team and I had asked them how they even knew where the enemies were they were WAY too confident in how they pushed with NO intel

My concern is how these players make it this far into the ranks or even their account.

1 month later and nothing changed, sad to 53k people putting an overwhelming negative review on Steam

I actually love spectating cheaters videos

Imagine playing controller on PC and still needing cheats to hit your shots. That's next level sadness.

Insaneo style mentioned!

That’s crazy to see how many people aren’t paying this game anymore due to cheaters. I feel like I haven’t had this problem (maybe i have who knows) but I also don’t play ranked I just hop on to run around and have fun, catch a couple dubs. It makes me sad that the apex loving community is facing these problems I hope you all (see the fixes you’d like and) come back soon, the games await

"If you ain't cheatin you ain't tryin" -Apex Legends

Cheaters in console too man. So many unnatural situations were the enemy should not know where I'm at but they do and kill me. Console wall hacks is a thing and its ridiculous how bad it is

How in 2024 have companies not developed a full proof cheat detection system, blows my mind

This is why I've been stepping back from apex trying to find something new to play but I miss the mobility

This is a normal experience in Singapore, Taiwan, Tokyo, Hong Kong server Ranked for last 3 seasons. Now they are brave enough to infest the ranked in west servers. This is like cancers. It just keeps spreading.

Died to that twitter kid and spectated and he tried to act like he wasn’t cheating like a day ago. Ran into the pathy named gurl and a full three stack of cheaters. Respawn not being able to get this under control is gonna be the death of this game.

I gave up on Apex last season after constant Match making and cheating issues. It sucks because this was the first true shooter I played regularly online but it just gets too exhausting to try and play this game knowing that a cheater or a smurfing 3 stack is going to ruin your game. I still come back to watch you and other Apex creators and to see this still not only be an issue but getting worse saddens me.

Same reason I left cod. The higher in the ranks you got the more infested it became. Wasn’t even worth the grind anymore

The Apex community been asking for a better anti cheat system since season 1, but ea thinks charging two season passes is better than fixing the game

ya it's a really sad day, I can't play apex solo anymore and even with the squad it's brutal between bad matchmaking and cheaters... Looking for a new game, and apex was probably the best game ever for so long... :(

Yeah, I've been playing since before seasons were a thing, took a few breaks here and there, but never uninstalled Apex during those breaks. All this BS lately had me uninstall for the first time, ever. Maybe I'll play again if they get a handle on this. I'm already bad, I don't need to be playing against cheaters!

Im glad I dont get cheaters in my 0.5 K.D. lobbies 😂😂

This game was at its best when it first came out and cross play was not implemented. I remember I went on a 11 win streak before cross play existed after it was added into the game I was barely able to win a game anymore. The skill gap was ridiculous it went from fun to frustrating very fast.

The devotion clip at 18:50 is the most painful to watch

game just gets worse and worse each year lmao

Theres so many cheaters that are becoming a new way of content

18:56 consistent devo hits with no deviation from that distance? I know i haven't played apex in quite a while but i don't remember the devo being that consistent at that range

Yup... glad I did not came back. I was getting hope with the "better anticheat news" but it was just all talk...

@7:24 😂😂😂😂😂 "THIS IS A TOP PRED" 🤬

Nothing new. Cheating has been such a very large issue the last month/s for all multiplayer games that ALL of their major content creators can’t ignore it anymore. Look at Apex, look at Overwatch, look at CoD, and that’s just SMALL examples.

I stopped playing this game for a year now. I'M NOW STRESS FREE. hahaha

How can you tell if the third teammate is getting boosted or got paired up with cheaters while solo q'ing? This might be a dumb question. I've gotten cheater teammate while solo q'ing and I'll leave the game if I realize. But it has me scared of getting in trouble for being on a team with a cheater and a spectator assuming the worst. Is there a way to tell? Always love your videos, Jankz!

Damn....haven't heard anybody call anything greasy in Apex since they first added the second version of King's Canyon.

Here's a hilarious fact. Cheaters run around rage hacking and does not get banned. Legit players kills a bunch of bots and gets banned. I mean WTF apex ? 😂😂😂

Stuff so bad bro had to a pull a”in my five years of teaching”

My friend asked why idc about masters/pred badges anymore. Season 12 and this absurd cheating situation is why

Honestly, if 40k people viewed this, all 40k just need to stop playing ranked. That way EA actually does something

I’m almost diamond and within 5 minutes the lobby was down to 8 teams and then we died only to be spectating cheaters… it’s very frustrating this season. I’m still playing because I love the game and it’s fun but they need to fix it.

At this point i’m convinced that Apex security is just a molded potato plugged into an outlet

At this point I feel like the Devs are secretly the ones selling cheats and that’s why they aren’t addressing cheating at all.

My respect for jankz after this vid is high asf

Jankz Jankz Jankz Great video 🤍🤍

be optimistic all you want, the cheater problem ain't going anywhere

I swear I’ve seen that cheater revenant. The cheating is out of control! This season’s lobbies are insane.

They are everywhere, solos, ranked mixtape, its so tiresome. This used to be a fun game. I remember season 15 if I found a cheater I would report them and they would get banned while I was spectating them.

Honestly JanKz I just watch your content now.. I haven’t played apex in 6 months I got tired of getting cheated I’m not the best played but I can hold my own and 9 shots with a havoc and 6 are head shots is criminal

I have never understood the appeal of cheating. If I was bad at a game and wanted to get better I practiced. These people are so sad.

i wonder if this is only in the higher rankes

It's as if cheating needs to be treated as Macro level theft from everyone in every lobby they play in.

This is exactly why Cheating in Video Games needs to be made Illegal.

I stopped playing a few seasons ago when I would be just about to rank up and then here comes a flying trident with an aimbotting horizon…. Keep in mind this was 3 seasons ago… cheaters are why I don’t play apex anymore it completely ruins the experience

Are you playing controller on PC? Isn’t that very difficult or does it put you in controller queue

why i never get on teams with cheaters but go head to head with them! :(

one of the few times i don't mind being actual trash at this game. don't think i've ran into a cheater once

Ironically, my movement is like the cheaters Jankz and his friends are complaining about. I've played since day one. It's embarrassing to hear the cheaters are on the same level as my gameplay; it's a sad day. I need help!

Pubs too I got 3 people banned in a single match of gun run too
