I had never really seen cheaters either until the last week night so I'm guessing that some new wallhacks are out as like you said it was not as bad few weeks back.

I see quite a bit of it in online gaming generally - it isn't always players that are pulling off crazy stats and top of the scoreboard - I notice a fair few who are doing poor or middling but obviously using ESP, etc. dunno your level of experience but I've been playing online games since ~1995 so it is often quite obvious to me. I don't get it right 100% of the time but in the past I've been proven right with a high degree of accuracy - I still remember the first ever Punkbuster ban wave in Quake 3 heh I'd called out a number of players in the community I was playing with as definitely cheating (along with videos from spectating that were definitely showing cheating if you know what to look for) but many of them were popular so it didn't go down well - then bam along came the first PB wave and they were gone.

I'm loving this game but the trolls are starting to spoil it, not as bad once you get past gold but they are still there.
Yes, a good cheater will cheat just enough to win without being obvious I guess. I haven't played any FPS game seriously since MOHAA (lol) so I'm probably not the best at spotting them. Some friends I play with are 10 year CS veterans though so I trust their opinion on it.

But I thought this invasive malware they call an anti-cheat system was supposed to be, for want of a better phrase, a game changer.
Bit like Activisions/IW Phone Number activation for new accounts and going after cheating websites.
All mouth no action
The best thing to do, if you see someone acting suspiciously is to report them, in reporting them - it'll add a lot more scrutiny and will get human review, I think one of the problems is that the automated systems catch a good number of the cheaters, but not enough people actually report - even when someone is doing something so extreme, people just don't seem to bother reporting. If you press the report button on somebody - it definitely gets taken seriously, and will be reviewed by the anti-cheat team pretty quickly.
I am a light gamer who enjoys FPS even since the days of CS Source.
I tend to find in Online Deathmatch ( my favourite mode of playing )
It either way too easy, or ridiculously difficult..
How does the ranking work, and does anyone else find this too ?
Thanks

No ranked in death match, there are some proper good players in Valorant, death match will queue you up with your skill level.

I've been playing since beta and only once has a cheater being detected and banned, I'm sure there are more but I don't notice much foul play.
Doesn't seem accurate though. I either win easily, or lose and barely get any kills

It's a it tedious anyway is deathmatch, get yourself in ranked and join the grind
There was a burst of cheaters at one point, I think partly though the game has dropped out of popularity and the cheaters are "playing" other games.
Around 50 million players per month, top 10 in twitch each day, it's never been as popular.
Relative to the competition though, including some new releases, cheaters are more likely to be "playing" other games.
Gotta be some wallhackers in this game.
Earlier was crouched in the corner of a room when someone walked in and immediately got a headshot on me.
I understand if you are running around you can hear through walls but not to this extent when I was literally stationary for ages

That's pretty scrub play in a comp FPS. Should be holding angles but not just sitting there crouched. You won't be able to react in time in most cases. It's good practise to keep your crosshair moving slightly to remain focus too.
