New Deadlock Update Lets Players Turn Cheaters Into Frogs
Valve's new hero shooter, Deadlock, hasn't even officially launched yet, but cheaters are already becoming a problem. The game is currently in the midst of a closed beta, meaning players can only access the game via an invite from another player. But that hasn't stopped the game from gaining massive popularity, and as is the case with many online shooters, more players means more cheaters.
Naturally, Valve is handling the influx of aim-bots and other instances of cheating the way any reasonable developer would: by turning the offending players into frogs.

"When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards," the Deadlock developer known as Yoshi shared in a forum post outlining a recent game update. "The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive. We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players."
