Snap Tap Is Officially Cheating

Ladies and gentlemen, we got ’em. Valve has officially declared Razer’s new keyboard is classed as cheating.

They were able to detect spinbotters, with the same inaccuracy as their new SnapTap detection. Remember when whipping your mouse around with high DPI got you banned for a brief moment after CS:2 launched? There's a reason it's only a kick.

how is it possible to detect snap tap but not detect a guy with 60 K.D and 99.9% HS?

[andyr]

80% of comps have wallhackers, aimhackers or spinbotters but this is what valve decides to focus on.... sake get your priorities straight

[Plokus]

'I, Personally, don't use jumpthrows, because everything I do is perfect' hahahaha nice

[CoolkiddVids]

Fighting game leverless players have seen this before, lol

Imagining the timeline of Capcom implementing a detection system to enforce Neutral SOCD settings in Street Fighter 6 like this is crazy

[CH-vrdl]

asking TOs that they also sponsor if their tech is okay is comedy.

[crystalclicker]

if VAC was this fast with banning users lmao

[JakeyBub]

When the Snap Tap anti cheat better than the real anti cheat

edit: it was a joke, chill out

[waldenio]

What does valve care? Cheating is rampant in cs2 anyway smh🤦

[BigJay_]

Fps and fgc bubbles colliding to argue over socd

[iuliani]

it's confusing that Valve calls this cheating and "bans" it but legit allows spinbotting and wallhacking w/o any issues.

i think this brings up the age old question: if something is considered a core skill because it used to be hard to do but no longer is does it still qualify as a core skill? does doing it the old way mean something other than nostalgia?

in starcraft, re-maxing your army was difficult because you had to indivudally select every unit producing building to queue up the unit you wanted. in starcraft 2, you can simply make a ctrl group of all your buildings and mash a hot key and the game will queue up the units in each one in turn. sure, you could do it the old way to maintain the spirit of the original and exercise a skill you had to master because of limitations at the time. but you could also save a lot of time and clicks by just doing the new method. the old way no longer served a purpose.

is this like that? or is strafing the "correct" way a vital skill worth preserving? i dont play enough myself to answer that question but i think it's worth asking

[goviie]

They’re prohibiting snap tap and but doing jack to actual cheaters

[Zamblinger]

Yea, because Valve is the ultimate authority on these things... how quick Valve acted on this, and how they implemented a terrible patchwork where now anyone who jiggle peaks gets auto kicked, it just leads me to believe that the people working on CS2 are also cheat developers considering they act fast on gimmicky keyboards that give a marginal improvement (in other cases, it makes people counter strafe worse), rather than implementing an actual working anticheat (which hasn't existed in any of their games for a generation now).

Feels like the same debate when mouses like x7 and naga became a thing. Here you have your classic "office" mouse and here's x7 with two additional buttons, dpi regulation and an undetectable binding software. One had a clear advantage over another, sometimes adding stuff that literally cannot be done by a human or even with in-game binds. The reality is that there's no real way to limit those things without harming regular players, and some things are plain undetectable (for example my monitor has a button that prints a cross in the middle of the screen, no software knows of its existence).

[apocalisseTT]

Imagine you get banned for snap tapping wile you have people spin botting in your game🤣

[RambinoYT]

They are quick to ban keyboards as cheating, but actual cheaters they don't care about 😂 Joke of a game and company

[leverposteifantomet]

As someone who doesn't play CS, I really struggle to understand how some people can think jump+throw binds should be ok, but snap tap should not. Obviously it is possible to be consistent with jumping and throwing at the right time, it's just hard, so how is it any better?
