You may want to actually say what you saw Cos when bad players call cheats most other people if they ain’t seen it will just tell you that they were likely just actual good players

I can also say......the highest I've ever had a character rated was top.7% winning 65% of my matches - and that was in whacked out Mayhem a couple of seasons ago before Strand. The MM I got was like nothing I had ever seen. Fresh match to start at 4v6......or 6v6 with the opposition consusting of pre-made 4 Voidlocks, etc. Facts. I realize it's a whole different ballgame in Mayhem 6s, but the illustration is that at that level the MM algorithm is trying to hand you losses to bring you back to 50% win rate......but the pool at .7 is a LOT smaller. I saw players on the other side I had never seen before..... ........and the same thing is happening now in Trials and regular 6s playlist because there are far fewer of us to MM with. The question is - can Bungie entice a bigger player base back? I hope so. It's at least makibg some efforts now. Better than being all but abandoned as we were. .

There are some hacks out there, always has been. In the early days of Trials you saw plenty of casuals lag switching. Bungie actually made good on some cheat crackdown over the years. That was long before paid carries and streamers ruled the roost. Modded controllers, etc., yes they exist. But I can tell you first hand......after my daughter played this shared account I couldn't hang with the changes she made in look sensitivity and turn radius. Never mind spec'ing and crafting a weapon for Handling & buildcrafting .Turn radius of about zero. Insta-turn. Me getting on there was unmanageable after she played. This is what it's like when there are players that are better. And its FAR more noticeable now because........ ........The player base count is way, way downl. What you have left is for the most part highly skilled - be it professionals or those that are among the best. Periodt. Look. 10 years ago I was top 6% at 2.78kd. These days 1.40 is top 6%. What's that tell you about the implemented math squeeze and player population? 6% of the much bigger player base in the past is a whole different ballgame than 6% of the number that play now. AND regardless of the number playing there is very VAST difference between top 6% and top 1% - 2%. This is the reality you're in. If you solo queue Trials, your MM is RNG. I know you've seen it. Even the mid level player that has good moments can get fortunate witb MM RNG now and then.
