Could algorithms be used to get rid of opportunistic cowards in Smash?

Since they are using algorithms for discovering people who break the rules (such as targeting the same player all the time), maybe algorithms could be used to discover opportunistic cowards as well? Like, people who just stay away from the heat of battle while looking for items, people who stand in a corner waiting for opponents to make a move, people like that. The game should encourage players to be on the offensive like in Splatoon, not like it is now in Smash where most players are just waiting for the right time to strike. It is more a competition of patience than of skill.

Playing defensively isn't against the rules.

I get that fighting against campers can be annoying, but trying to introduce an algorithm that bans people who use a legitimate play style is even worse. There's ways to counter zoners other than banning them all.

We don't allow threads intended just to flame others. Likewise, rant threads are only allowed if they can generate legitimate discussion. This does not.
