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,

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.

    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.
