What do you expect when staff have this much experience with graal

There should be a minimum level of kills, baddy kills and spars to become an admin so you can understand all the areas of the game.

Started good, ended bad.  

Move to Argentina pewpy newb.  

If you have a certain amount of spar wins, you'll of spent enough time in the battle arena to know if someone's using a 1.05 speed hack or if they're delay hacking.

Can you elaborate on delay hacking? Or do you just mean using a VPN? Not that I'd ever see the point of increasing one's delay, or how it would really affect sparring that much. It isn't like delayers are a "higher level" than the rest of us, it just forces good sparrers to adapt instead. It doesn't create an advantage, just changes the spar really, for the both of you.

I was just now kicked from a spar (automatic loss) for using reasonable strategies against a delay hacker. I guess some GP decided I wasn't dying fast enough.

Something seriously needs to be done about this. It makes sparring not fun at all. Even if it's not reporting to RC, automated systems can flag an indicator on players where speed hacking or delay hacking is present.

You will get kicked out if the match goes for long. You probably lost because you had the least health from the match  

Yea, because I was facing a delay hacker and changed my strategy partway through into flailing where I think that player might move in three or four seconds. It's total BS.

Also, how the **** is this allowed, ever.

speed hackers aren't hard to beat. i think they have less blink, so u just have to be patient with them. delayers idk, just spar a lot, u will get used to it. health hackers, just shut ur comp and stay away from it before u go full rage and break ur comp in half.  

Speedhackers: "I'm playing on PC"

So am I, assholes.

Speed is a clear advantage. Delay can also be an advantage depending on the specific hack. FYI: I don't consider VPNs to be an advantage. The more successful delay hacks tend to lag input less and lag output more.

Mostly tool kiddies. I think anybody can use Cheat Engine to speedhack.

Yea, considering there's a **** ton of people doing it in competitive practice, there needs to be more enforcement mechanisms.  

But but V6 was supposed to fix all dis???

That makes absolutely no sense.

Might be a stretch to say it makes absolutely no sense. It's not really the type of requirement I'd suggest, but there needs to be some high level of in-game experience.

For example, it's pretty frustrating when an admin is too new or inexperienced with the mechanics of the game to understand when a player is just using the full extent of their blink invincibility rather than "lag blocking" when at a tower. I've been banned for standing in a doorway before, and I'm sure it was handed out by an admin who didn't understand what exactly was going on.

Not really an issue for a developer to be concerned with, but I can see why a GP would need to know certain elements of the game before they go about policing it.  

Although I probably would've lost anyway, I literally just scored TWO hits off of an opponent AFTER dying in spar.
