Online cheaters
Overwatch and Apex are both dealing with the problem of cheaters in their own special ways. Overwatch will end matches when cheating is detected. Non-cheaters will not be penalised for the cheaters action. While Apex is changing their matchmaking algorithm so that verified cheaters are pitted against each other.
Which way do you prefer? Is there a better way?
