It's definitely a cat and mouse game and no single method, including statistical analysis, is a silver bullet.
I'm definitely not advocating for doing less to counter cheaters. I'm just talking about how more could be done. As in, continue with existing methods and add new ones.
Also, yeah many cheaters would start being more conservative and manage to evade detection. However that is also a win. It's the aggressive obvious cheaters that are the worst, because it makes it obvious that the fight was unfair. If the cheater made it look plausibly legit, then the victim won't feel as bad.
