how about everyone with under 20 ping also has to start downloading steam games with full bandwidth to make tournaments fair
Yes, it's actually my fault that their infrastructure is shit and ours is better. Now I'll download games during gameplay to match them. Even so, the shader changes benefits people with less ping too, so both the shit players and the good players gain benefits, so the gap doesn't change much. People clearly aren't upset with the base game, otherwise these same players wouldn't be playing it if it's too bad, there's plenty of 40+ ping players who've played at top level.
?
For CIS players the performance benefit is more meaningful because they play with worse ping. In what way are you inferring the "CIS players" you're referring to are cheating?
When you know you know, but again the trade-off is weak for as Archangel said 'a bit better' performance
Unless you suspect all of RT and Renegades, and Amaterasu before them, were cheating by using WSE2 I don't see why you'd levy particular suspicion at people using it now that it's more publicised.
WSE2 as a client isn't cheating, I'm talking about the use of FOV which is clearly cheating but is at this point in time, impossible to police, so just ban the client then bobs your uncle, we all play how the game is originally intended, sounds like a big W to me. The trade-off is too weak to warrant using it.
People have been playing at top level without WSE2 for years, if you're too incapable of performing without it, then you're shit, especially so much so that you want to allow cheating for a bit of a performance boost. It's funny at this point.
