u/No_Material_320

I just started playing ranked recently and won all my placements. However, I run into cheaters all the time despite only being gold 3? For context I've been top 500 in more difficult games like overwatch, valorant, and fortnite (and have 100s of hours in KovaaK's) so I know the limits of human aim. I've been able to beat a couple bad cheaters but this is a bit ridiculous. How does anyone rank up in this game? I've played a couple players from top clans like SYNC and those games are super fun, but that's in normal queue. Is ranked unplayable? How can you tell how good someone actually is?
