Re: Smurf Accounts

Same here. It's either dealing with diamonds and predators in pubs or dealing with smurfs in ranked. Whatever I choose, finding a lobby with people of similar skill is very difficult right now.

I'm not sure what to think of this game anymore. It feels like getting better is no longer an option because almost everyone I face is 10 times better than me. I'm not able to close that skill gap by myself, that's the harsh truth.

    Smurfs suck 2 steps need added and linked via IP HWID. I get beyond annoyed seeing my team of 3 stack preds get demolished by some level 50 either a apex god and or cheater. I lean either way i know both exist. But I would feel much better about a death to see it was done by a high level main account. I dont get salty when they kill me or anything but i do question if they are legit or not. Cause 2 pred friends and myself are no walks in the park to kill. So when we can be demolished with out that person for what it seems even trying we start to question... Is this a apex god??? Or is this a cheater? Game is soo full of both there is no telling. I personally am sick of it.

    @C0nfusias I have 1 smurf that i did try about 6months ago. After getting 4k and 20 bomb on a gibby i never did it again. I felt like giant bully I felt like i made new players discouraged about this game. I in general felt bad for those in game with me. Morally.
  • @E9ine_AC damn bro. Hitting Diamond really exposed me to these * pred lobbies and I can understand why people smurf. It is still annoying though because of the fact that it isn't clear if these guys are cheating or just really that good. Smurf accounts are a really big issue on this game and if there were some way to add 2FA or something else, it would greatly reduce the number of smurf accounts in this game. Or to really fix this issue, just get rid of SBMM in pubs.

    @Hyuugajay0515 Yea they most certainly need to counter smurfs. A lot these people just boost their friends or wanna bully lobbies creating horrible game experience for majority of players. Like you say its very suspect on is this new player cheating or is this new player smurfing? The game is in a quite toxic state because of these.

    A lot my friends actually will rage quit for the day just because they are sick of being killed by level 50 or below gods. I get being good being great being amazing at this game. But some these 50 or below are literal gods when aiming then bots when looting.
