For competitive gaming this becomes a problem.

But a good way of solving this in community managed multiplayer games is this: if a player is extremely good to the point where it’s destroying the fun of every other player: just kick them out.

Unfair if they weren’t cheating? Sure. But they can go play against better players elsewhere. Dominating 63 other players and ruining their day isn’t a right. You don’t need to prove beyond reasonable doubt they’re cheating if you treat this as community moderation.

it is, if you're not cheating and is in fact just that good. That's called competitive sports, which participants voluntarily engage in.

Then you are kicking full-time streamers like Stodeh, tanking your chances your game has any kind of success.
