I can't be the only person running into this lag hack so often???

[Rolex Snob]

It's like clockwork every single time I get some healer low or when dbl dps go through burst phase they skip and lag all over the place and become unhittable or make it very hard at least to hit. It's on point, it's not random; when they are low they skip like crazy and if they manage to get away and heal up they are smooth again only to rinse repeat every time they get low.

How is this ok? How is this not banned? I read some shit on here and arena junkies that they use a macro to cause the UI to lag? How terrible is this? Has Holinka said anything about this? I assume this kind of shit is why this game is laughed out of LCS. I managed the squeeze out arena master this season kicking and screaming but it seems everything from 1700 and beyond has a high chance of some insta cast spell reflecting, perfect trap laying, super rogue playing lag hacking bullshit.

I don't remember this being to rough in the past, I can handle going against vitalic rogues but this lack hack is beyond annoying as it's so obvious.

In short? No.

it seems everything from 1700 and beyond

Maybe I'm just unaware because I just resubbed after a looong pause, and catching up with gear, so not at 1.7k yet. It's a rough world, no one wants to boost an undergeared resto druid, not even with a promise of a rich gold reward :P

I have sometimes noticed Russian players lagging a bit (I play on EU), but it feels more like a server lag you'd expect than them being scumbags lag-hacking or kick botting etc.

You're not the only one actually. I have had this many times in Arena. I'm around 1300 so I don't see it that often, but when it happens it's like "WTF! This can't just be me every time". I too have been wondering if there must be a hack that some players do like strangle their connection to avoid death or something. Same with FIFA games when you look threatening and then the connection lags to fuck until he gets the ball back. Believe they call it a lag switch.

this is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. no one would purposefully lag themselves when trying to kill someone since it would hinder them just as much.

unfortunately when cheating is rampant everything outside of the ordinary is put down to hacks. also what the hell is "vitalic rogues".

Stop making petty excuses for getting rekd and git gud

Had something similar, russki team. Killed one of them -> their healer starts lagging and shortly thereafter my team all laggs out.
Occured four times vs the same healer. Conviniently egnogh they all played smoothly up until the point where it was a loss.

I think people dont fear the consequences as much anymore. If they get banned, they move on and dont care.
So they take more risks.

Well, I made it to 2280 in 2v2 and 2350ish in 3v3. Fact remains, lag hack still wide spread.

I also did some research: /run local t = time() + 4 while time() < t do end

That above is the macro to create the lag; was all over the forums on arena junkies when I searched. I tested it in garrison with friends and it indeed works as advertised. How is this not fixed yet?

Also, you asked what Vitalic is, i'll assume you're some non arena master scrub that doesn't know shit about shit so why don't you "git guud"

Stay away from my posts if you're going to act like an uninformed idiot. You must play as well as you research... scrub.

Yep I have seen it. I am at 2k+ ratings on 2s few days ago while finishing a target me and my arena partner both had massive lag but I thought it was server problem.

Just a note to clarify, it's not me or my teamate that's getting the lag it's the guy we are trying to kill. He starts micro-warping all over the place really fast and it's only when they are close to death and trying to get away.

We need to make this more public. Not the macro itself, obviously, but what it does and that it exists.

Saw this a few times when playing games today on my disc priest. Pretty clear something funny was going on, druid behaving totally normally then as soon as incarn is popped he starts warping around and I can't cast pennance on him in the middle of an open field, which even seeks targets. Think some people are relying on it too heavily, because we still won most games when people used it, but it still needs to go asap (not that it will...)
