I know smurfing is bad, iam diamond, i made a new account to play with my friends ( silvers and golds ).

Its hard when i go main account with them cuz we queue on high skilled match ( if u premade team u will queue on highest skilled match)

Now iam plat on 2 account, so now they can play with this rank.

" Go play casual " there is no SBMM on casuals so u met with more diamonds and predators in there...

I feel bad for this, cuz i can see, sometimes i lose against hardcore 20 level players, but what can u do, just go to another match and keep going.

I did start playing apex in 2 months, it was not aesy to get out of gold, it was harder to get out of plat, but now iam diamond, i was matching with smurfs too but i didnt give up, now i only met with predators smurfs but its okay i guess.

    @NikJSt So you are Diamond and you made a new account to help your friends reach Diamond too. That's nice but what will happen when your friends reach Diamond 4? You will have to go back to your main account and you guys will play only basic matches because ranked will be too hard for 3 pseudo Diamonds to play with real Diamonds and Predators, right? 🙂

      @Monacoian Did i say i made a smurf to carry their * or i said to play with them cuz casual its harder than ranked? Read first ok?

      If they can reach to Diamond, its maybe cuz they are skilled enough to reach Diamond, i am not pro player to carry 2 golds to Diamond rank.

      If Casual actually had SBMM, iam sure there will be less people smurfing.

        Random matchmaking in casual and minimum required level of 50-60 for ranked would literally remove all incentives to smurf.  Everything * we see now in the game, like bad Plat4 players who's real skill is more suited to low gold, and highly skilled smurfs in bronze or silver, happen because of Respawns way of designing this game.

      Smurfing is the communities response to SBMM.

      Its not a proud thing to do but a necessary one after wairing for SBMM to get fixed with no changes. 

      Side note

      how could u establish the difference between someone who is a smurf and someone who is new the game but naturally good?
