I have an update regarding the new cheater association ban system.
The system is now in a constant state ( live ).
Which means, as of now, if you play a combined of 20 matches with any amount of cheaters in your squad, as soon as that cheater gets banned, you will be banned instantly as well.
I would suggest anyone who squads ( mostly in the higher elo range ) to check your friends in replay mode if you have suspicions.
