    When I was young and spent 10+ hours gaming, I could do amazing shots.

    Which is why I don’t accuse others of cheating now. I remember what was it like.

      you can set cheat programs not to show/target cloaked spies, I bet you could do the same for disguised spies too

    General rule of thumb, impressive shots happen ALL THE TIME. A really good shot, even a dozen of them, isn’t adequate evidence of cheating. They need to be observed doing something IMPOSSIBLE not just very difficult. Yeah, some people will be able to more subtly cheat, but a cheater just making themselves a bit better doesn’t completely ruin the game, and any alternative is running the risk of banning someone for just being too good.

    I thought I’d seen some pretty good snipers until I saw that old sIN video of Shadowburn getting like 5 headshots in a row with the amby on tf2center all while adjusting for latency and jumping to dodge a pyro’s flare.

    He doesn’t even main sniper or spy and he seriously looked like he outplayed what any cheater could do.
