I am interested if smurfing is bannable since in other games like Lol it is. I was thinking about helping a friend by making a smurf so i can play with him in ranked since my accout is a much higer rank than his. I wold love some feedback on this

It's extremely easy to spot by seeing placement choices rotations and movement used, as well as weapon control - they similar but not the same and it really takes time getting this adjusted. Also I played a lot of Titanfall 2 and it's not much there that is transferable without a lot of practice outside of playing a shadow at halloween event 😉
On top of that if you report them they can check how many accounts there are on that hwid, then they can try evaluate if it's the same user or different users playing. They have a lot of tool at respawns side, and being a vivid fps player myself I remember starting apex, it's s steep hill. You will see a typical skilled fps player have excellent aiming mechanics but lacking in the other Ares, but when you check all the boxes chance is extremely high that is a smurf

I have zero problem with this. The question would then be "why are they in my lobby?"
Ban everyone after season splits. Because they are smurfing.
SMURF NEVER BANNED
report is useless, I've never get feedback from it
Feedback from report is need
Smurfing should never be banned because there's nothing technically illegal. It should be prevented and avoided, of course.

Smurfing been ruining games and made people shun the game since sbmm was made, games died from it so yes it should be bannable, not only the smurf account but the main account should get a smack. But I think the smurf term should be defined much better because not all smurfing is bad, the smurfing that pray on "the weak" should be smacked hard. I know its hard to differ but in general statistics wise it should be extremely easy to track. A hwid repeating account creation and has myriads of smurf accounts made specifically to ruin ranked low level or exploit the grace period/games you get in the start. I seen plenty of people do this, and I seen people making content making new accounts all the time. This is what is hurting the game and should be handled as its turning new players away from the game and the steady recruitment slows down fast and people give up before they actually can progress and get into the game properly.
