There is an obvious cheating epidemic going around mostly on iPhones with cheats readily available you can find on any sub Reddit , most of the players of this game cheat and you can tell this by a lack of versus screen at the beginning of a match as well as they will spawn 3 to 4 if not more fast attack cards and laugh at you as a volley countless fireballs and lightning to crush you , some people try to hide it behind spawning the energy tower but it's always the same MO you can destroy all of their cards and their first attempt and they respawning them alright back. There is no way in hell you can have five cards down throw a fireball then a lightning bolt then spawn a tank.
It is pretty obvious to me reporting does nothing, I am not sure if it's apathy because you guys still rake in the money by your big offers. Or do you understand the fact that some people are addicted and just don't care either way but I hope one day this is fixed.
This post maybe something you read and forget but understand one thing diehard South Park fans are probably diehard UBI soft fans but I'm pretty sure you may lose quite a few customers on your future games if you're willing to take that risk so be it but some of us feel who talk frequently that you guys just do not care and it's an act. The reason I say this is because apparently most of the glitches and cheaters were in the game before it was out of beta

I've been playing since November and have never encountered a 'cheater' - seen plenty of bugs and lag related issues though.
Seems to me that you're getting your butt kicked and coming here to vent about it with exaggerations. I investigated this alleged energy hacking via youtube videos claiming such, but after analysing the videos - nope - the opponent was just better. Better timing, better energy efficiency, better trades - which ultimately create the illusion of cheating when your energy is depleted and they still have units on the board with energy to spare.
Not once have I encountered a game that plays out as you just described, and I've played multiple thousands of matches.

The missing versus screen is an issue we are aware of, and we do have a fix for it rolling out with our next update.
There is also no longer any possible way for players to manipulate energy bars during matches as we have moved that element of the game server-side. Ibetough is correct that there are still lag issues happening for some players, but we are working hard to move more bits and pieces server-side to put an end to those, and to give our players a much more stable playing experience overall.
I can promise you that we take all reported players seriously and they are investigated fully, as we want to make sure Phone Destroyer is as fun and fair as we can possibly make it!

Cheating is definitely going on, there's a iPhone hack that I saw on Reddit when I was interested in seeing how these people are cheating that shows how to cheat and it was updated as early as last week with the warning do not do this in PVP or you will be banned I'm in the legendary rank ,about mid range and I can't understand how people can continuously throw lightning bolts fireballs and Still spawn cards also I've encountered people with more than two non-neutral theme as early as last week so unless it's a dev or a friend of a dev it's definitely a hack.

Ubi-Toller you are lying !
Theer are many ways to cheat !
If I post you a link to a cheat to download will you ban me ?
Stop lying! This is ridiculous!
I have seen newly created account to spam the people with serious concerns that they are crybabies ! WTF is this !!!
If you do not belive those people just do a google search and you will find videos.
Hell there are even links on this forums , but noooooo.....
Denying something without checking it is the HIGHEST FORM OF INCOMPETENCE IBETOUGH!!!!
Every 2 or 3rd post is about cheating, but noooooo - no cheating....
Lies lies lies ....
All you do is ban people or posts with legitimate cncerns and than you go on your white horse and say " WE DO NOT SHAME PEOPLE"
How about shame on you for lying and doing nothing , but STEALING MONEY !!!!!

Hi pressplaybg,
No game is every 100% free of cheaters, which is why we added in our in-game report button. The kind of cheating that I DO know is no longer an issue is the energy manipulation that was a problem in the past. It is now impossible for anyone to access that section of the game as we moved it to our servers, where nobody can reach it.
If you do see any other forms of cheating, again, do report it in-game. You can also PM me, Steve, or Buck if there is a user you feel needs to be looked at, but yes, we do not allow public naming and shaming on the forums. Lag issues can sometimes cause rubber-banding, double projectiles, and strange character movement that can appear to be cheating, but is actually not. That's why we're working to move more of the game server-side, to increase stability and improve the game for all of our players.

As Ubi-Toller mentioned:
The energy 'hacks' that are frequently mentioned is not possible. That portion of our PvP has been moved server-side and we will be continuing to move the critical components of PvP server-side as time goes on.
It's very likely if you see videos or posts claiming they can energy hack, it is an old post/video. You are more than welcome to send us those in a private message and we can confirm that for you.
If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me a message.

Hack. No way you can summon all those AFTER manbearpig at all. Plus you guys had one of your staff ADMIT THAT NO GAME IS 100% FREE OF CHEATERS!!!! Then buck conveniently chimes in to say there it is 100% free. Goes to show you don't even communicate with each other hahaha you guys are pathetic. I'm sure this video and comment will get deleted in the next few days but I'm taking pics as evidence. They teach you to lie this much at Ubisoft or Redlynx?Originally Posted by Doughboy357 Go to original post
Let me know what this is then lost the game by the way. Dropped me out of the top 25 fix this or give me my money back. If I bought a new car and it broke they would fix it... not deny it was broke......

This is an excellent example of people who have no idea what they are talking about crying about hacks. Count the energy man! Your opponent plays nearly nothing for most of the mid match, doing a good job of maintaining a minimal push. I count he has plenty of energy to play MBP when he does, and then afterward there is a significant pause before anything else is summoned. You can count energy second by second at the end, and he is totally clean.
No need to cheat to make anything else in this video happen, just stop playing terribly. And NickJ24, this is exactly what I expected to see from you after reading your whining in a number of posts about cheating. Clearly you have no idea how to distinguish a hack from efficient play and are on some kind of mission to blame the devs for your incompetence.
*Just watched it again to be sure, and I made the assumption that when MBP hit the board it but your opponent at 0 energy (no reserves at all). Even in this case you can just watch the energy counter and tick off what he summons and easily see there is more than enough energy on hand to do what is being shown on the screen. Totally clean game here, and yet again another case where no current videos of energy cheating can be found*
