I haven't run into in CC as much, probably because of the wider appeal of the mode, but I have goddamn recordings of win trade matches I've stumbled into on Primal Feast season 20, complete with allies emote spamming me and marking me while doing nothing to play the game.

This tied to the PvPrimal discord which had a good number of players outwardly mocking me, others trying to tell me to just suck it up and play around their schedule instead of mine, and those silently abetting them because either its just a game or they're already in and don't want to rock the boat any.

I've seen those same names in CC, but either they've grown a bit, not incentivized the same way to cheat or I'm just not as likely to run into em. Haven't done competitive CC as much overall cuz I wasn't even around for the first 4 seasons.

I doubt reporting them had anything to do with it despite evidence.

As far as outright hacking, I haven't seen it. Maybe I've had some people deliberately sandbagging but there's enough I can do and improve on on my own in this mode that it's not as noticable, not least of all because there's 5 per team and the roles aren't as rigid
