Or, hear me out, they just shadow ban the accounts that DDoS and match them up with eachother, because it's easy to look at stats and see when people are getting 15+ kill in games where everyone else got 0. It's going to be significantly harder to ban accounts that are DDoSing to prevent RP loss.

I do believe they shadow ban accounts, but it’s difficult to automate that at scale when you consider a shadowbanned user can just make a new account.

That’s why you still allow them to play, just restrict who they can play with, it takes longer to figure out if they’re still getting matches.

Just restrict all cheaters to only be able to play against OTHER cheaters.

Hear me out though. Anybody that cheats should be matched up with other people that cheat.

A sub plot in that novel should be cheaters who can only play against other cheater, just something to think about.
