I was fighting/evading a small group of magsorc curse/fury spammers and rolled around the corner of a wall heading into a resource where Kodi's Dk had a handful of derpies beating on him... He saw me and 3-shot me before I could even break free from Dizzying Swing.
That's where I'm usually scratching my head - the dizzy/ult/execute ani-cancel combo. I've run high damage builds with that combo and it's rarely enough for me to kill decent players because they can usually break free and roll before I can land the execute, yet the Kodi's and Fengrush's of the world somehow do it 1000% faster than I ever could. And my latency is normally only ~130-150 in Cyro.
It's somewhat obvious what they are doing.
The question you need to really ask is why is it that their "combo" (achieved by one press) seems to be nearly undodgeable and why it can hit you in the middle of a dodge roll.
Furthermore... if you play on ps4 and have never encountered people... how would you know anything past listening to them posture, brag and preen about themselves (while savaging all opponents with dull wit)?
What I wonder is if their slander and insults in twitch are a tos violation being it's being done in game but said in twitch?
Dawnbreaker of Smiting hits when you roll dodge. Sypher has used it on me many times, and yet when I attempt to use DoS on him, nothing (and no, he isn't cc immune)

I remember more than once in PVP getting ganked by the same cheesefanboi and it was always hitting multi attacks at once with no time to react and *alway* the same sequence of attacks/abilities, 6 or 7 of them - about 10 times
btw what are macro's and lag switches?

Let's just say it's a bar swap and it's likely macroed that does that...
A lag switch is just an artificial delay added to your tcp connection. You can probably buy one on amazon... A physical cut off switch for your ethernet.
A once famous nightblade used to use a script that access the page file in some way, what you would see was heavy attack, heavy attack, ambush, executioner at once. He was defended by all the usual suspects here and lauded as a great player.

Regardless of all that, I see quite a few of the usual suspects take zero damage from it even though as far as you can tell you are right on them and they are right in it.
I will point out one little thing... positions in game are not always what you see. Players moving at speed are often not accurately positioned for you... players in invis or stealth are also not always where you "perceive" them. Hence the many stealth->gap closer warping or super fast zoom from out of nowhere (and from your perception way out of critical charge range). Quickly invising nightblade doing a heavy attack into cloak show as only a heavy attack (usually fire) animation only and it's rarely from where they actually are.
That's all without exploits... and can explain quite a few things. Problem is, with those problems, it can exasperated by using any sort of lag switch.
There is all sorts of other crap as well... like players that somehow can make themselves positionally (to you) under the game world. What you will see is your animations speeded... and nothing can connect. I suspect that many of the major league tree huggers aren't just hugging trees, there is more to it as even when you do get position (or so you think) on them you still can't hit them.
But... don't worry. All these things, among the half a dozen or so other things mentioned somewhere in this thread, are easily denied and any and all concerns you might have can easily be meme'd with something claiming you get 1vxed or claiming you need to git gud.

interesting insights - i hear lag switch is also an issue on some console games..
Dawnbreaker is dodgeable since the patch. Tested it myself. Supposedly it was considered magical AOE but it got changed to physical (and thus dodgeable)
Played against a couple of streamers mentioned in this thread in battlegrounds last night. I saw no evidence of cheating, they were able to be killed and they lost the match. Does that mean I'm cheating too?

That's like saying I dueled [internet mma fighter] and he doesn't cheat.
I would be wary of doing anything in bgs right now because the attention of ZOS is going to be there.

One in particular showed you how to add a macro that will bar swap and put up a shield (or heal) then bar swap back to your main bar. So I laugh *** to wallz when the same people saying macros are not possible come to these posts defending their cod buddies.
whats also funny is i actively play on xbox as well as PC and man those folks on xbox must all suck bc this kind of crap is just not there. Hell i can cast frags from behind and actually hit a stamtard thats not wearing Miats pvp crutches.
personally i dont get the cheating... but i guess it comes with low self esteem kids who need a video game to validate themselves. for me, id rather brag about having my 6 figure salary, gorgeous wife, and 2 beautiful kids....

I challenge any of the so called elite streamers to set that camera back a bit so we can see their hands and see how dominant they are when we can clearly see what they are doing.

I know 20+ gankers on Xbox NA that just 1 bang people one after another for literally hours, this is not just a PC thing. Consider yourself lucky

I don't believe cheating is as widespread as you believe. I don't have good evidence to back up my argument, just like you don't have good evidence to prove poeple are cheating. Now i would say cheating using in game exploits has been more prominent then the lag switches and non server side adjustments you have been describing. Are these cheating methods really that prominent, and do you have more proof of others cheating? Or how would I go about finding out if other players are cheating? There are some odd things like animation cancelling dawnbreaker and combat bugs that happen, but I have never seen them happen consistently against the same player, even these streamers you accuse.
For background i have been playing since a couple of weeks after release, and there have been maybe 3 people that I have expected of cheating to the point where I felt I didn't need any other evidence then what I say facing them. I don't see those people in cyro anymore. I play solo to medium sized groups (16 man group).

There is an opiod drug crises in this country right now yet I never see it. Does that mean it's not widespread and doesn't exist?
When I was in college I dated a girl who did drugs. She was able to point out who I thought were normal people in public and tell me they were on drugs. I could never tell, but because she knew what a glassy glazed look meant or see signs of certain behavior/mannerisms due to known drug reactions she could tell. It was an eye opening experience and a window into another world.
The point is, just because you don't know what to look for or don't see existence of strange behavior doesn't mean it's not widespread. In fact, there were people in this game who I thought would never cheat and come to find out they were banned...,
I will say the majority of the top streamers have an unusual ability to macro slice and or animation cancel so well that they seem to hit all their abilities at once or quicker than the global cool down should allow for. Some take less damage then they should and some just avoid damage altogether more than what shuffle should allow for. Some dish out huge damage while healing and tanking for just as much.I'm not saying they cheat but it's always been a head scratcher.

Not to be rude but you are clearly at a low skill level trying to snipe spam the very high rank player.
I watched this ganker used rally, proc his clever alch then jump in with a high burst combo which you did not block or mitigate in any way.
The selene glitch you trying point out has been fixed. You used to be to bar swap during the bear for double procs. You where clearly dead before the selene animation even went off. Since you are on console you cant cry macro's
Please try heavy armor and learn where your block button is.
Cheers!
