It's not smurfs. I'm stuck at the HIGHEST end of the skill curve. Smurfs are not the issue for me, and never have been.
Yes, no, I get it. I'm just saying that if you start sandbagging, as you suggested, to get easier lobbies... they don't really get that much easier. Because of all the hard stuck diamonds who quit playing on their main because of exactly the thing you're dealing with right now. There are no more silver/gold lobbies. There are only stacks, cheaters, and smurfs. Right now you get the former. Start trying to sandbag and you will get the latter. If you have the patience to get your mmr down. It takes a LOT of matches. And the results will be exactly the same as now.
A few seasons ago, I once died maybe 100 times on purpose just to get into the bot lobby.
After that, I actually had two easier matches, but then I'd run into the strongest players again.
So if someone is above average, there's no point in playing like that. You waste hours dying over and over just to get one easy match, and then it's back to the same old story. xD
I have no problem playing with strong players, because with my KD, it's understandable. My problem is that the game constantly punishes me by frequently encountering cheaters, because they have the same skills as me...
It's obvious that there won't be any cheaters in weak lobbies, or there will be some who can't even play with cheats. Above the diamond and in sweaty pubs, it's been a real drama for several seasons, and it's only getting worse.
