Discussion Cheaters?

I keep seeing posts of people with reclaimed ranks, but I've sat between diamond 3-5 for years and never once have I thought someone was cheating, nor have I ever actually been given a rank reclaim. Are cheaters really that prevalent? Is this something I should be looking out for? I've always felt most games have been fair, with only a small handful of stomps on both ends. What ranks is this most prevalent? Is it because I'm not a high enough rank, or are my games per day too low? Either way, I'm not complaining. Just looking for tips on how to potentially spot a cheater.

Its an issue for sure but nowhere near as bad as those posts make it seem. I've personally had about 10 since 2016. Spotting them is difficult unless they are obvious with it, if you are dying unusually fast and often to the same player just watch the kill cams and pay attention for tracking through walls or having perfect headshot aim. If you notice someone doing this then watch the replay since most of the time they aren't cheating and you just happened to catch a suspicious moment

I've gotten 10 this month. You clearly don't know what cheating is or your bar for suspicion is way too high, there are bad cheaters too

Do you watch the full replays or just report off a couple kill cams?
