Re: Why There Are No Measures To Prevent Cheating?

1) This wouldn't solve the problem, only cause new ones. Phone verification can be spoofed and cheaters would just keep creating new accounts to avoid the credit card part. The credit card would also make it to where only streamers, (for the most part) are the only ones in the higher ranks, which would kill rank. Keep in mind as well that cheaters cheat in all modes, not just rank.
2) Its a measure for sure, but anyone who's not going to let a ban stop them is going to keep bypassing, which is at least 90% of them.
3) Agreed with this one to an extent. Players should lose all RP gained only from the battles that the cheating player(s) joined them in. It should also not include randoms who decide to cheat and in some cases where a friend decided to start cheating. That last part is because you might not know they decided to cheat, and should be given the chance to stop playing with them until they stop with the cheating completely. Frequently matching up with them would make you lose those points for sure.
4) I personally would have it to where each rank had a level requirement, although doing that isn't a good idea because some legit players won't be able to rank up. So a second preference would be level 100 requirement to even enter rank at all. In the past, the moment a cheater hit level 10, they're in ranked, now its when they hit level 20. Making it level 100 would mean more work in pubs which should decrease the amount cheating for rank. Some cheaters also sell the accounts once they reach pred, which is why you'll sometimes see pred players who can't 1v1 a wall jump.
5) Beyond agreed. If we lost points to a cheater, and that cheater gets banned, we should get our points back.
6) We need a system that fights back and keeps the cheating at bay. If it could be updated enough and maintained, cheat creators would have a harder time developing cheats which would force them to take a longer time making them, resulting in more matches voided of cheaters. However, this is easier said than done.
