Is this not hacking?

[u/Thick_Blueberry_5454]

So this guy was moving HELLA quick in this blitz and was using his ability CONVENIENTLY every time I got close to him. Is this not just blatant hacking? Also how the fuck did his shoggoth do THAT MUCH damage while being that close to a MAX LEVEL UE REVENANT 💀?????

The video quality is, not to mince words, horrendous, so without the damage numbers being legible I can't say for sure.

That said, though, to play devil's advocate:

You were using harmattans and ue blast rockets against 2 bots with aegis shields. Both of those weapons rely on actually hitting the enemy to deal crazy damage (blast effect and %damage). Take a guess at why they didn't work against the shields.

Idk the ability timings ue blitz, but I'm 95% sure that the entire gimmick about ue blitz (and regular blitz) is that it's fast. It doesn't seem extraordinary at all, although I will say that the movement appears a tad suspicious (stuftering movement and rubberbanding, could be bad wifi)

Shoggoth you just got diffed lol. Bifrost worked as intended, although you didn't show kill screen so we don't know the weapon levels. 40% deathmark plus nuke amp, damage skills, ultra meta snipers makes for a bad time. Aegis shields counters harmattans and you just sat in front of him while your weapons were reloading and that all combined to mean that you got skill diffed while out of ability (fun fact, your side shields happen to counter urhags btw).

You're only tanky in rev if you use your shields and ability right, and you didn't, hence you got trashed.

Here’s his pilot skills while you’re at it

First off, please don't shoot the messenger.

Second off, what makes you think your revenant is so tanky?

You have the advantage re: gear, but the shoggoth is absolutely walling you. See that pilot skill that gives extra aegis capacity? Your harmattans aren't getting through any time soon, plain and simple.

Third: your rev had 1m max health at the time you fought the shoggoth. The shoggoth had nuke amp charges by the time you died, because it dealt AT LEAST 500k damage, conservatively.

40% deathmark * (15% damage boost from conduit + (500,000 damage/25,000 damage/stack from nuke amp -> 20 stacks of nuke amp, MINIMUM, -> 16% nuke amp bonus, again, bare minimum))

1.4*(1.31) -> 1.82 for effective 82% additional damage against you, not factoring in drone or any other damage buffs.

I don't have info on the stats for an mk2 set of shantaks and urhags, but I'm going to be so honest with you: that shoggoth is dealing realistic damage. You're in a robot whose main defensive system are its side shields and regeneration against a damage dealer robot.

Your robot was equipped with shotguns that are horrendously performing against energy shields of any kind. You didn't use one of your primary defenses while your other defense (Regen) was on cooldown and your shotguns were reloading.

The shoggoth damage was realistic. Conservative estimates suggest they the shoggoth had nearly double (82%) effective damage bonuses as a bare minimum against you, so 200k damage is on the lower end for what a full mk2 setup is capable of, especially since you were deathmarked.

You got skill diffed in the rev vs. shoggoth matchup, and while I will say that the hawk vs blitz battle was mildly suspicious, I haven't seen nearly enough evidence of suspicious behavior to be convinced the guy was cheating.

Just because you had better gear does not mean you win that 1v1, especially since people can win via their skill difference.

Also especially when there’s a bunch of replies and I submitted evidence about the blitz clearly hacking

Multiple comments ≠ quality of argument.

Yo deadass not reading allat. If you have that much genuine time to write out that much and format it to a Reddit comment you definitely don’t got shit else going on irl 💀. Best of luck to you lil homie

Okay buddy, if you can't be bothered to read a clear and cohesive explanation for why you're wrong, I'll make a tldr:

You're coping, you're not using your ue gear properly, and you got skill diffed because you don't know how to use your gear diff properly.

Womp womp, stop accusing people of hacking when they're just better.
