How to even win against cheaters?

So recently I've been playing a bunch of atomic games, got to 2280 at my peak. But then a 1800 guy I played as white literally crushed me and when I imported it on lichess, all his moves were perfect. That happened a couple of times, especially among that rating range. It makes no sense that I am capable of winning against 2000+ players as black, and they clearly make mistakes once in a while. Even if I block them one by one, cheaters just keep appearing, and I lose so much rating every game, it feels impossible to gain rating. So I was wondering how people get such high rating.

Yea when this happens it sucks, I'm only around 2180ish atomic and have experienced this a couple times. If you lose a game it is usually -20 rating. The high rated players in 3 check, atomic, the variants you can cheat in, they usually don't play very often anymore. What I'm seeing more often is the top rated of those variants going to spell chess, 4 player, or other variants where it is harder to cheat. Chess.com should refund you rating points like they do in live chess when you lose to a cheater.

second screening!!!!! screen sharing and streaming. people will have friends spectate anonymous and watch their games. they also do this in teams. they screen share with this friend so they can see your arrows. i noticed peopel moving where i arrowed my partner to move. it happened 5 times in a row, fast. so we stopped using arrows and the other team took forever to move. lol. it happens. and when will chess.com put new players in an arena for their first 50 or 100 games so they dont make one move and resign or disconnect on purpose and leave screwing us YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!! asking for 12 million players.
