Cheating Rampant?

My question is, are there measures in place to prevent cheating, and will this all be sorted out soon, or are we all at the mercy of these cowards who cannot play fairly? Today has been almost unbearable. After three matches I am almost ready to just uninstall.

At least that's what it sounds like.

The leg been healed sounds like a desync error the client saying that legs been blown off and then been told by the server NOPE and bang the leg pops back.
As for what you think of been 1 shot odds are you just did not see every thing but it can happen with some builds IE low armor builds or the enemy has a silly alpha build and did a alpha of like 80 odd points.

Assaults are slow and if caught in a bad position by multiple enemies can be cored out in seconds. Some of the best matches I've had lately are when I'm in my Jenner running around and generally not doing stupid things that get me killed by being close to multiple hostiles as their only target.

River City is a bad, small map.

More likely is was several large/medium pulses lasers all converging to one spot maybe even from more than one enemy. HSR sometimes can be to blame, but also you just don't get the kind of feedback of being hit by lasers like you do every other weapon (screen shake, noise, etc).

LSD is a hell of a drug (or more likely, there were two firestarters).

It must be a lag issue if you are seeing people lose a leg and recover it. That I have never ever seen before though even when my ping jumps to the 700s for whatever reason.

IMO cheating in MWO is extremely hard.
Now having said that. I have had what I would call "bugged" matches. I had my entire team wiped in about 3 minutes. We all did less than 100 damage and I swear my mech had no armor. I'd get hit and immediately had red internals. DWF dropped like flies to only a few LRMs and laser hits.

Spawn locations are static on each map/game mode and on some maps the spawn locations can be quite close. Players who know the spawn locations (*raises hand) will often rush one to see if they can catch people off guard.

Often times a group of lasers from the same component will appear to look like 1 or 2 lasers. More likely you're getting slammed by a 50+ alpha. Or you were getting hit by someone else, or you were headshotted. Don't rely on that damage report screen. If you get hit by 6 medium lasers simultaneously or back to back, it will say 1 medium laser.

I play this game a lot and I have never seen that before in my life. Most likely you either didn't see it right, or it was another firestarter. If it's as unbearable as you claim just record some footage and show us your proof. All of what you claimed would be easily provable with a recording.

Sometimes damage registeres wrong causing some serious WTF moments. Its not your opponent cheating.
I dont use any cheats but still somehow managed to kill two mechs with one AC20 shot once, The game certainly is bugged.

Once those people quit playing pugs again the ELO system goes more haywire that it always is and you get the mixture of usual scrub lords playing/dropped against better players and small teams.
Welcome to the realization of how crappy pugging has been in this game for years. /golfclap.

Being said there isn't a lot of it. Did see the guy mentioned above or his brother as the founders on the other team reported him and he was on their team. Only other was a fs doing serious lag shield. He was called on it and discoed right after.
It really isn't a big problem as the old hands in the game know what to look for and jump on it. I usually don't have to.
What you describe in the opening post seems just like farmers taking advantage. They don't want a fight, they want c-bills.
