>>Despite the fact that cheating is damn near impossible on consoles

Unfortunately, aim assist devices for consoles are very widespread now and a big problem for competitive gaming. .

>>I had never even had a warning or complaint for any behavior whatsoever

That's the gold standard in the industry though, you don't warn(suspected) cheaters to not give them opportunity to adjust their tactics. Sorry you got caught by this unfairly.

Is this supposed to do any good? The actual cheater is still getting a signal that they've been detected, because they get banned. Then they figure out how, make a new account and go back to cheating.

Meanwhile the normal user is both confused and significantly more inconvenienced, because their rank etc. on the account you falsely banned was earned legitimately through hard work instead of low-effort cheating.
