This is why I only play PvE I know I suck, and I'd rather deal with a more curated experience.
I'm not sure if I suck or not. I do very well against 70% of the userbase, but the other 30%....I feel like I'm standing still. There is such a vast difference between the people I kill and the majority of those who kill me that I have started to take deaths very poorly. I know it's silly to think that every death is from a cheater, but I've died 5x this wipe and 2 of them felt very, very sus. The other 3 were because I couldn't change my servers at the start, and I had high ping that was kicking me from raid sometimes.
The only two people I know who really don't care about cheaters, I highly suspect of cheating. One has admitted to cheating in other games (cheaters don't change), and the other has consistent KDs that align with cheater KDs, and he has less than 500 hours in the game. Each time these two die, they are 100% sure that the person who killed them was a cheater, yet they dismiss all of my deaths as "git gud." I suspect the first is full ESPing with aim lock, and the second is simply using Radar. The second player mysteriously changed accounts a couple of years ago and has never given a reason as too why.
TL;DR: I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this game to anyone.
Edit: I'm more mad about this than I should be. I have a good life IRL, and things keep moving forward. Cheaters are sad people who feel insecure about their skills, so they cheat. I've never had that insecurity. I played nationals in every single sport I picked up as a kid. I've never felt insecure or doubted my abilities in anything until I started putting serious effort into PvP games and coming up short. Granted, I'm older now, my reflexes are not what they used to be (statistically), but I can still catch something mid-air that I dropped by accident, and when I did sports, I tested in the top 1% in the nation for hand-eye coordination. They conduct physical testing of kids at many national events.
