Idea to remove smurfing
Hello, Recently I've been getting quite some smurf accounts in my lobbies (<lvl 30 with 20 kill badges and all) and I've got to find quite some afterwards who seemed to be masters or preds. I've h...

@Baws_FredgyNew smurfs are what you want to address. An "old smurf" is no longer a smurf.
Honestly? Not sure.
SMURFING is when a highly-skilled player creates a secondary account as a disguise to play against less proficient opponents. This almost always results in the Smurf steamrolling their lower-level adversaries, which might be hilarious for the better player but usually leaves their victims bitter.
It doesn't matter if the 2nd account is a new or old account. As long as he remains a low level on it, it's called a smurf.
@Baws_Fredgy You don't remain low level for very long though. That's why I asked if you have ever done it. Go make one. See how it goes.
What's the difference between someone who didn't play for season, comes back as a bronze vs a second account starting the same level? It's going to be the same thing.

Then still need to find a way how to work on the old smurfs.
It can always happen that a high skilled player took a break. I'm just trying to find out if the is a way to reduce it to a minimum by making it less easy to smurf 😊😉
I mean, if it's only that time a high skilled player took a break and you won't get ambushed by a bunch of smurfs every 2-3 games, it would already be a big improvement.
