To Help Identify Smurfs

A suggestion to help identify smurf accounts. 

Do not allow players to hide their rightful level. Keep the three spots for players to showcase their badges but the level the player is at should NOT be able to be replaced - add a fourth and place the player level at the top. 

That way if you have a player that is forced to show his rightful level badge at say level 3 with 20 bomb badge and 4k badge etc.... or is in a match with 14 kills and 4000 damage at level 5, it would make it easier to report with some confidence. It would help others identify when spectating and prompt reports, making it easier for yous to find and confirm. 

Also this would probably help a bit with lowering false reports. 

The amount of players hiding all their stats as of late is ridiculous. And smurfing is at an all-time disgusting high! There is usually a reason why one would hide all stats completely. 

Any thoughts?

    funny thing is noone is hiding anymore.

    que is full of level 30-50 with dem badges.

    THATS NOT THE PROBLEM

    Problem is here

    You decide to try out this game called apex legends.

    Things go k you get few kills win few matches ect

    "I should try ranked" you think.

    Then you a guy who played for smth like a week or two look at dem champions squad

    Poof few diamonds maybe a predator from time to time

    Yeah smurfing is the least of your worries...

    And its not like new players get que with new players noooo

    lets say you havent played in like a month

    you will get few so called warm up matches within different que doesnt matter if you are gold plat diamond ect

    you will do good in that que for like 2-3 matches then suddently poof you play to good welcome to big boy league for the rest of the week...

    @NickBeam27 They likes smurfs, it adds numbers to the total player count. I sometimes wonder if this is also why not much is done about cheaters unless it's blatant

    @reerex If someone is even decent at the game they don't care what level or if they get teammates. I'd prefer my teammates not have a clue and just be a distraction to the enemy

    @Lord_Yeetus01 I like the idea, still works and the outcome wish I dream of, still remains the same. Thank you for the feedback.
