@BalladalidilaI think they could use KD/R as the main statistic to determine lobby placement as well. Have ranks based on a players ratio.
It's too much work to throw many games to lower your ratio, so that eliminates most smurfs.
And after a smurf makes a new account and has one 20 kill game they are instantly in a top tier KD/R category, and would have to spend multiple hours throwing games to ruin that hot ratio.
How many players would actually spend hours trying to tank their ratio just to get in a noob lobby again? Not many I don't think.
@Pure_Funk_NuggetDon't underestimate the stupidity of idiots.
Imagine how many games you must throw to go from bronze, silver or gold 1 back down to 4 or how many times you must solo hotdrop and insta die just to get put into a bot lobby for high kill games. Many, many players are doing this now (as bad as smurfing) as those badges are the only things they can ''achieve'' to show off or sell accounts. It's literally the only reason they play now.
KD/R is easily manipulated by leaving before you die and someone who is roughly a 1.0 KD/R can show themselves as a 3.0+. Respawn have a wealth of data they can use to make better matchmaking.
