I've been playing the same 2 games for many years and I think I got pretty good at them and I've used multiple accounts - under your assumption I look like a cheater.
In a proper statistical analysis there are far more variables than what I outlined in my preceding two sentence post. It would be naive to think that I would consider anyone a cheater only based on the account age.
Smurf accounts are also bannable in plenty of games and I certainly support that.
Beyond that, the level of "good" we're talking here goes way beyond dominating in a random match. Cheater stats are usually better than literally the top #1 player in the world.
Take something like Battlefield, where on the public leaderboards the "top players" have a kill-to-death ratio in the thousands. That is so far beyond human possibility, yet they are still not banned because of this aversion to statistics.
I think what's naive is to assume that statistical detection methods haven't been investigated at length by the anti-cheat companies.
When a complete newcomer comes to a field and sees professionals not doing a simple thing, the right question isn't "why don't you just do this, duh", but "I thought this would work, why doesn't it?".
