They need to massively increase kill RP in lower ranks, this will push these players up into Platinum in just a few games, and it will also incentivize lower level players to go for higher kill games in low rank to rank up more quickly. While still having the option to play safe and strategically and still rank up from that too.
This would solve the problem. It's unfair for low ranks to face these players. So that would be the easiest solution. Wouldn't stop smurfing of course. But they could even add a bigger point gain if someone gets 10 kills in lower ranked for instance, they could just give them 200+ more points to send them up asap to fight real competition just as a bonus for high kills and to stabilize the player bases across the ranks more quickly at the start of each season.
