>This way, if cheating gives god-like behaviour, you play with other godlike folks.

Anti-cheat is not used to "protect" bronze level games. FACEIT uses a kernel level anti cheat, and FACEIT is primarily used by the top 1% of CS2 players.

A lot of the "just do something else" crowd neglects to realize that anticheat is designed to protect the integrity of the game at the highest levels of play. If the methods you described were adequate, the best players wouldn't willingly install FACEIT - they would just stick with VAC which is user-level.



I dunno man, at least give me the option? Like at least give me the option to play without klac with the exception i can join klac'd lobbies or something.


I mean, thats what Valve did. You are free to play on Valve's ranked ladder without KLAC. All the pros, semi-pros, and the people who want a cleaner ranked experience play on ESEA or FACEIT.

I doubt for other newer games the option would ever be worth it. Why host to servers and matchmaking pools for a tiny player base, who is will probably already be prone to complaining?
