I am not sure if it s real of imaginary, but it seems to me I face less cheaters when I play on android app, then in a navigator.
any explanation?
could it be that the arena for players connected through smartphone is distinct than arena for PC? and that cheaters are mostly people using plugins on navigation application?
or : could it be a localisation side effect, changing match making?
