Cheaters destroy the gaming fun of gamers again and again.
The US streamer Nickmercs has had enough now.
He wants tougher penalties for cheaters.
Hamburg – Every gamer knows the frustrating feeling of being caught by a cheater while playing.
Because time and again, individual players use various software or tools to gain unfair advantages in the game and thus terrorize their lobby colleagues.
Even shooter professionals fall victim to these cheating tactics.
The US streamer Nicholas Kolchef, better known as Nickmercs, is therefore demanding harsh consequences for cheaters.

Nickmercs demands short work with cheaters - "Should go to jail"
This is what Nickmercs demands:
Being flattened by cheaters in games like Warzone or Apex Legends is really annoying for every player.
But just when you're one of the best players in your field, you're fed up with cheaters.
So does Faze member Nickmercs.
The American streamer vents his frustration at the unfair opponents on Twitter and shares his very clear opinion on cheaters.
If you cheat in video games, you should 100 percent go to jail.
I know most of you are busy touching weed outside and that's great, I'm happy for you.
But I just spent 20 hours getting hacked in online games and I'm sick of it.

Hackers are especially frustrating for the CoD pro as he spends so much time playing the competitive online games.
For example, in the last seven days, he streamed 49 hours of Apex Legends on Twitch for his 6.7 million followers.
Due to skill-based matchmaking, particularly good players repeatedly come into a lobby with cheaters due to their high KD.
Here is the original post from Nickmercs.
If you cheat & hack in video games, you should 100% be sent to jail.
I know the majority of y'all are busy touching grass & shit, that's lit, super happy for ya.
But your boy just spent 20 hours getting hacked on in online video games & I've had enough.

What is skill-based matchmaking?
Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM for short) is intended to ensure that all players in a lobby are roughly at game level.
The respective skill of a player consists, for example, of the amount of kills in the last rounds or the average placement in the Battle Royale.
Since professionals are matched with players who have similar values, they often come into a lobby with cheaters.
Nickmercs has had enough of cheaters - Gets approval on Twitter
That's what colleagues and fans say:
For his angry Twitter post, Nickmercs received a lot of approval from other shooter professionals and fans.
Streamer iiTzTimmy writes:
"I think we should all get a personal gaming profile that is used for all games.
Only one per person and a second cannot be created.
If you cheat, it will be noted on your profile."

A lot could change for cheaters in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 in the future.
A new anti-cheat update for Call of Duty is now targeting hackers.
The changes should soon also recognize third-party hardware such as Cronus.
Cheaters then have to reckon with hefty penalties.
