That’s the kind of thing that prompts players to create new accounts.

This is out of control now.......smurfs over a span of an HOUR that I came across tonite (Gold I).....not to mention 2 obvious ESP/aimboters besides (a whole different discussion).

One account, that's it.....it's ridiculous now.  I quit Apex for over a year and came back.....and considering another break...

The sad fact is that Apex does not define smurfs as smurfs, they have their own definition of smurfing that enables you to make traditional smurfs to ravaging newbies so they quit the game at your own leisure, in pubs you get tossed up into high lobbies fast but doing ranked you can safely play bronze to gold and have simple lobbies without getting handled by the SBMM. I just watched a stream from hideouts to get a proper view on what is referred to as a smurf and he was playing a lvl 20 farming silver lobbies in ranked at the time, and clearly said that that was fully legal. I am still not fully sure what an Apex smuft is to be honest.

The high levels that dont want to play at the level they belong, I understand the fun in utterly ruining the day of 57 other players for your own fun but if you turn that around, do you think its fun to get farmed by the top preds - I just think EA and Respawn need to clean up and redefine smurfing, All my old Apex friends stopped playing because of this so I had to find new Apex buddies to keep playing.
