Dr DisRespect angrily claims Ricochet isn't working
After getting gunned down by the hacker, Doc started raving and ranting about how the new anti-cheat system wasn't doing it's one job of detecting hacks in games:
"Ricochet, they lied to us. Ricochet f***ing sucks. Get rid of the company, it's not working."
The purpose of Ricochet and other anti-cheat software is to catch people using hacks or cheats that give them an advantage. Such advantages could include seeing enemies through walls and having perfect aim at opponents. Hackers can also alter less subtle things, like flying through walls, teleporting around the game's map, or even turning invincible.
Doc is used to these things happening in Warzone, as he's previously gone as far as taking a break from the game, uninstalling it and moving on to other battle royal shooters.
Doc then goes on to jokingly say that he thinks the team at Ricochet is manually stopping hackers, instead of having a program built into the game engine:
"They didn't build new tech for the game, all they did was put together a 20 person crew, a team if you will, and they called them team Ricochet. And so they're just manually deleting."
Dr DisRespect's comments ring true in the minds of his fans, with most of them agreeing that the Ricochet system is highly ineffective towards stopping new hackers from joining games and dominating the competition:
However, while they do still agree that the anti-cheat isn't doing its job, some fans point out that he should stop playing the game entirely:
It seems that Doc is done with Warzone until Ricochet fixes the hacking issues. However, it remains to be seen if other streamers will support a boycott of the game or continue to make do with the game's issues.
