Players say reporting all enemy accounts for cheating when a suspected bot match starts prevents Quick Play from matching them into bot lobbies for at least days; NetEase has not responded.

- As soon as a suspected bot match starts, report each of the six enemy players and choose the "Aimbot" reason.
- Original poster said the workaround kept bot lobbies out of their Quick Play queue for two days.
- Community testing notes bot lobbies commonly appear after consecutive Quick Play defeats, often with 4 humans vs 6 bots.
- Bot lobbies have been a major Quick Play complaint since launch and push many players to Competitive mode.
- If widely effective, the method could change short-term queue behavior without developer action.
- It does not alter Competitive matchmaking; developers have not acknowledged or validated the tactic.
- FRVR notes NetEase hasn’t confirmed or denied the method.
- The workaround isn’t guaranteed; results appear anecdotal and may vary by account/region.
- No official patch, policy change, or automated countermeasure has been reported.
