Valve's Deadlock Introduces Anti-Cheat System Turning Cheaters Into Frogs

Players can now vote to transform detected cheaters into frogs mid-game before banning them in Valve's new hero shooter.

Deadlock's new anti-cheat system allows opposing players to choose between banning cheaters immediately or turning them into frogs for the rest of the match.
The frog punishment renders cheaters defenseless, unable to use abilities or deal damage, making them easy targets.
The system is set to conservative detection levels as Valve works on a more extensive v2 anti-cheat system.
Matches affected by cheater transformations will not count for other players, ensuring fair play.
Valve has a history of creative anti-cheat measures, including similar ideas for games like Counter-Strike and Dota 2.
