It might be, although trust factor has a major outcome of match quality.
I have over 10,000 hours in the game, majority played on official servers with quite a low % of matches impacted by cheaters. The match quality does deteriorate with Premier rating. I noticed a decent jump in cheaters after about 25k rating, although the number is not as much as people like to make it out to be.
Yes, a very reasonable concern, we haven't yet implemented any measures against this. However, deployment is done via Terraform centrally in the CreditHero backend, so we can put measures in place.
