Valve Has Found a Funny Way to Fight Cheaters in Deadlock

Recently announced Deadlock has already seen issues with cheaters using auto-aim bots and wall hacks despite being in closed beta. Before, Valve introduced a way to address this problem, placing them in a low-priority queue, and now has come up with a new hilarious solution.

In a recent update, Valve's developer Yoshi announced that cheaters would be turned into frogs: "When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session, the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards."

The dev also stated that Valve was working on a more extensive v2 anti-cheat system, and they would turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update was out. Also, according to the update, if one of the players was turned into a frog, the results will not count for other players.

Before, Valve introduced other ways to deal with automatic assistance while playing and banned using the input-automation keyboard feature in Counter-Strike 2. But this new humorous way of fighting cheaters is probably the funniest, simple, yet seemingly effective way to prevent players from using cheat-mechanisms.
