I made a thread about the hacker situation, little over 6 weeks ago.
Nothing has changed, I still match with hackers a couple of times every week.
Even tho I win 90% of my legit rift matches, I still can't increase my rift rank because of the amount of hackers I match with.
So why are there so many hackers?
Because it's worth it to use a modded APK in this game.
And why is it worth it?
Because it takes too long for people to get banned.
This has to change.
I've heard devs say that "fighting hackers is like an arms race".
That's true to a certain extent. If developers create stronger anti-hack systems, hackers work harder to get around it, which forces the devs to create even stronger anti-hack.. etc.
However, this does not apply to manually banning people, which is where more efforts should be put in.
You ban someone, and they're gone. What can they do about it? They can create a new account.
But the problem here is that accounts are banned so infrequently that it's worth it to create new accounts.
If people are banned sooner, it won't be worth the effort of creating new accounts over and over again, and even tho there will always be new hackers, banning them earlier will prevent them from ruining the game from legit players.

- Hackers shouldn't be able to reach level 60+
- Hackers shouldn't be able to climb to the gold rank in rifts.
- After someone is reported, it shouldn't take more than a week before their account is suspended, if the evidence is obvious enough.
