What's challenging about hacking in CS:GO

What's challenging about hacking in CS:GO is that much of the onus is on the players to report and police themselves, but competitive play makes buy csgo skin it inherently difficult or time-consuming to verify a hacker. Naturally, you're not allowed to spectate an opponent mid-match, so if I want to be sure that someone's playing illegitimately, I have to be mad enough to take the time to stop playing, load up my match replay, scrutinize my opponent's actions, report them, and then just… trust that the system will catch them.

There's no immediate judgment or verification that you caught a hacker; users that receive enough reports, to my understanding, are simply passed along to CS:GO's Overwatch system, where a player (who's recorded at least 150 wins in competitive mode) watches excerpts of the match and makes a judgment. Reporting a hacker is like calling a 911 line that cannot talk back to you. It's an unsatisfying system even when it works, and I'm upset knowing that CS:GO's sale will invite more abusers into the system.

You also can't simply leave a match to avoid subjecting yourself to a hacker. Abandoning a match for any reason penalizes you, preventing you from playing competitive mode for a period—for days at a time, for frequent offenders.
