But that doesn’t matter, if they have to play so carefully, they will be placed into an ELO where their “skill” matches, so they won’t be any more effective than a real player at that level, then they will be forced to be more suspicious and better players sniff out cheaters a lot better than others. So they wouldn’t even last long. This is basically what happens in CS now.
Smurfs can “pwn some noobs” just the same and get called cheaters all the time. Like I said in the other comment chain, we dont need to prevent people from cheating (endless game of cat and mouse), just make it ineffective.
There are “good” cheaters today, that are less skilled players and rely on cheats to be better. They fly under the radar, not making their cheating obvious. The end experience to others is that could have been a good skilled player and not a cheater.
If someone has any sort of cheat that makes it obvious, then that would be dealt with. If cheaters have to disguise themselves as real players, then it severely limits what they can do. And to other players, it makes no difference at that point.

Doesn’t the same logic apply to any sort of cheating that isn’t literally granting immunity or unlimited ammo?
Blatant cheaters are what cause the problems.
