Why is there a report smurfs option, but nothing to enforce it?
You guys make making accounts so easy. You say smurfing is ban-able but the state of the game has never been worse.

@TheApexLegendNub personally I will never pay for the game that is in beta testing, sorry those days when you buy a game or CD (yeah I am that old) and realize that install.exe even can't run or in the middle of installation you get some error are ower.
Now the competition requires either free2play or really really good development and testing that can be actually sold to the public.
Also, I don't see how payment even for bugless Apex would solve anything to be honest - as said before people who spend money on Apex will probably find an extra 10$ to create smurf account and all it will do is boost EAs profits.
As for limitations - there is no certain way to identify households, many ISPs have changing IP ranges, many use VPNs, and there you go, no way to identify anything (as far as I know 🙂 ).
As said before I would start with really drastic rank limitations per level e.g. Diamond+ only level 500+ at the same time removing tier protection so that smurfs even if boosted would either have to remain inactive or get demoted.

@EREGDS Thats why i think a level requirement would be the best way to go about it so you can’t simply create a new account and jump straight into ranked you would need to play until level 100 and hopefully by then the account would be banned for cheating/smurfing
