bastik i cheated with action replay on pkmn hen i was 10 pls ban me etf2l.
no one who doesnt hack in a league or a real competitiv enviroment (pugs etc) is more suspicious imo. if you hack in lobbies/pubs/mge on an alt and find it fun no one should care except the pubbers who you ruin their "fun"
idk i think it's pretty despicable to waste other players time who are actually trying to improve their own personal gameplay in mge or dm
in my opinion, i think that anyone that cheats in an environment where it actually affects people for the worse in any way, shape, or form are horrible people and i wouldn't be surprised if cheaters stopped some players from even being interested in trying to get better because they get steamrolled so hard they just quit trying to improve lol
at least that was the case for when i talked to some more casual friends about why they didn't try to compete in games and they said that they didn't have a good first impression of it in a competitive setting
