Ranked is pointless with all the Smurfs
I have screenshot after screen shot of teams smurfing their way though ranked and ruining games playing way outside their level. I report them so many times and yet it seems to do nothing as I run in...

@Midnight9746 I like that double master smurf proves im not the only one facing them in game everyday of the rank split. They all get tired of playing their own main account and hop up on their many smurfs to help one of their 200 friend or just for fun. Even a streamer I watch everyday did hop up on his smurf account today... he is a master on his main account and gold on his smurf : he reached plat 4 today said he wants to help a friend reach diamond problem is he dont need to play to grind before his friend come by which is exactly what he was doing. If they have 10 friends they might need 10 smurfs account and grind 10 times during the split: disgusting
@Palette24carats Yeah, also I don't think that Master Caustic was smurphing. They appear to have missed a few rank splits, and had gotten demoted below plat. Which is another issue as well.
Seems like there is an ENDLESS amount of previously higher ranked players being bronze 4 in platinum lobbies (aka smurfing on their 4th smurf account), weird how they both are in the same team bronze 4 in platinum lobby
Today again:
A bronze 4 killed me AGAIN in platinum lobby, bronze 4 are the STRONGEST players there is!!! It was a 1 vs 1 duel and he easily clapped me as a platinum 3. They kill me many times everyday!! And guess what; I couldnt spectate him.
- @Palette24carats Bronze in plat lobbies is a cheat. Only gold and diamonds can be matchmaked with plats. This is because once you reach plat, your squad can only be one rank different than you, which should be either gold or diamond teammates. This is designed to keep high ranking players, such as preds, playing with lower ranking players, and to "avoid" having players get stomped on by tougher teams. Although not only does matchmaking doesn't care, but the smurphing is a big problem, and cheaters keep finding ways to match into higher lobbies anyways.
The bronze can only match with silver and gold, and they wouldn't be put into a lobby with plat or higher players. If they were gold, then yes, they would see plat players, and maybe even some diamonds. Thus, that's a cheat. News flash: the apex legends devs are probably very happy with all these smurf accounts because this shows that the game attracts a huge amount of "new" players constantly. It's all about the numbers. Meanwhile, the true new players or the less skilled players are getting screwed over.
@Solim66Sadly that's pretty much true. It still annoys me though.
I was in a duos match where I was kill leader with 8 kills, and then I get curb stompped by a strikepack console player (dude was even hitting through walls due to console issues and whatnot), and their teammate kinda looks like a smurph, but I am unsure if they are a smurph and they're a Steam player so no site trackers are tracking them. They seriously need to put smurphs in their own lobby and shove these console strikepack players with them.
Oh, and sure me and Lifeline did 4 headshots in the fight, I at least had to aim, and didn't use strikepacks or whatever kind of cheat they're using to do it all in a row, through a wall.
I like to share player ID's so if they are a cheater or whatnot, EA AHQ staff can pass it along, Ash for some reason had no ID whatsoever, which is odd. Everyone has an ID, even the servers have an ID.
