Hey there,

I know having some of your MMR removed due to a cheater can be frustrating, especially since gaining elo is difficult already.

The system isn't designed as a punishment by any means, and is more in place to make sure your rank accurately reflects the games you play. If there's a cheater on your team who helps you either win or rank up, the win doesn't necessarily count since you were aided by a hacker, even though you didn't know it. The same goes for players who lost games due to hackers on the other team. That loss isn't seen as legit since there was an individual in the lobby with a clear advantage over others.
