Idk if I agree with this. When I think of ban waves I instantly think of CSGO, and the ban waves mean nothing. IDK what data they have collected and what specific things they mitigate before triggering a ban wave, but it's completely ineffective. People are spin botting in MM lobbies the very same day as a ban wave. Especially with Valve where they rarely if ever auto-ban and rely heavily on user-reported cheats and Overwatch where actual community members vote (which is already very imperfect because you don't retain audio to know what calls are made and the tick rate of GOTV makes things look sketch that maybe aren't). I could see waiting to ban a wave of people if you also release an update that addresses the exploit being used. But I don't know that I have ever seen that be the case. The hacks that existed before the ban wave are often equally effective if not the same exact cheats as the ones being used after the ban wave. The author updates a bit of detection bypass code, and they are done. So if it's intentional, it's not a very effective methodology in my experience.
