MODERATORS
Give them handicaps and they'll wear them like badges of honor. They kicked so much ass, their bullets do half as much damage... and they still have even odds to win. Or make their accuracy garbage. Or slow down their movement. Or make them visible from anywhere on the map. That last one even teaches newbies about prediction.
Team-based modes are simpler: pile on more newbs. Unbalance the shit out of those teams. Give the tryhards an opportunity to say a pair of them took on ten guys, and won. Even if they roll the other team, it's hard to say the loss feels cheap, if you outnumber them so drastically.
Engineer a response that goes 'fuck, that guy is good' instead of just 'fuck that guy.'
Also, it would also solve the streamer smurfing phenomenon as well, since it would be obvious if you were doing it on a stream.
Bullets do quarter damage, they get 1 HP, if they get hit they go into last stand until someone heals them or someone from the other team graciously double taps them. Only 2 pro members to a team, the rest are all bots with no med packs and accuracy that would make even the worst storm trooper look like a sniper. Oh and FF is on for them, that includes their bot team mates, so they have to constantly worry about being in their team mates line of sight and getting fragged... or just a stray bullet as they goof around launching bullets in every direction.
That sounds like newbs playing Halo against pros playing Siege.
