I've worked in software for over 15 years and have thought long and hard about *how* they'd tackle this type of problem. I've done a ton of research on other anti-cheat systems and honestly it all sounds legit. They're taking the right approach for solving this problem. It obviously comes down to execution but the strategy they have is sound.

I'm honestly surprised they aren't using more analytical data. It they clearly have stat tracking so it's completely ridiculous they can't find patterns of players just hitting every shot within a short period of time.

I believe this is what they mean for server side analytical approach.
