List of Hacks

Hi again Brad, just another reminder that there are no infinite mana hacks, cast range hacks, +GPM / XPM hacks, or really any hacks at all like you accuse people of using. You're using "hacks" to deflect away from your own poor gameplay, such as dying 19 times as a midlaner. Focus on your own gameplay and you will improve.

Overview

By far, the most common reason Bradley cites for a lost game of Dota 2 is the presence of hackers/cheaters. They are extremely prevalent in all of Bradley's games, and unluckily for him they are only ever on the enemy team and never his own.

Often times, Bradley will attempt to prove the existence of a hack by meticulously scrubbing through the game replay frame by frame, or by testing every possible variation he can think of in demo mode. To date, not a single instance of legitimate hacking/cheating has been identified.

Non-Dota Hacks/Cheats

There have been occasions where Bradley has identified "hacks" or "cheating" in other games on stream.

Dark Souls

Although not specifically hacking accusations, Bradley has accused computer-controlled NPC bosses of cheating in the following ways:

• Cheating by hitting him in his dodge roll
• Cheating by hitting him outside of the boss attack range
• Cheating by causing his game and/or inputs to lag
• Cheating by using "new" attacks that the boss apparently doesn't have
• Cheating by dealing more damage than they're supposed to
• Cheating by "lartching"

Puzzle Games

In most puzzle games that Bradley plays, he often finds reasons to explain his inability to solve a puzzle, including:

• Adamantly claiming a puzzle has no solution
• Claiming that a puzzle's mechanics are not behaving the way he believes they should
• Claiming that a puzzle is missing elements that are required to solve it
• Claiming that a puzzle is bugged and that is why he cannot solve it
• Claiming that a puzzle cannot be solved because the game has not been updated in a long time
• Claiming that a puzzle requires the user to cheat in order to solve it
