Lol you're really underselling how difficult it is to write cheats.

There's still quite a few ways to detect that kind of thing though, both automatically and manually. At the end of the day, if enough people report the 3 day old account for hitting flicks like Carpe, it's gonna get banned pretty quick. And if a few escape through the cracks, well, like I told the other person, I'd rather lose to a cheater occasionally than install malware on my computer.

SBMM can be a good solution as well, but I believe that should be a separate, opt-in thing. Matchmade games always tend to lean more competitive/sweaty/sometimes toxic, whereas games without matchmaking are usually more casual-friendly. I think it's nice when games give you the choice.
