PC Ranked filled with smurfs
I just made the switch from console to PC. So this is my first time playing on PC in about 20 years. I've been playing a few ranked games today and every game is just filled with smurfs. I haven't d...

@HappyHourSumwur Bronze lobbies are not bronze lobbies. I wouldn't feel bad. Just push through those and you will get regular people.
@hayhor So is it all smurfs then? I just have to suck it up and take my beatings to get to matches that feel more appropriate for my skill level (i.e.-I am below average)?
When does it get better? If I have to get to gold, I'll just stick to the occasional pub match and go find another game to play. I don't want put up with that much BS. Getting your @$$ handed to you repeatedly is a horrible experience.

- @HappyHourSumwur Bronze lobbies are harder than silver lobbies since there are smurfs accounts. There’s less in the silver and gold. When you play in bronze 60-70% of it are real bronze players but the rest are high ranked players that got demoted and some are smurf accounts.
If you’re having a difficult time going through bronze, I suggest sticking with pubs since smurfs are immediately placed into sweaty lobbies after a few games and you won’t get preds (most of the time lol). - @HappyHourSumwur Not all smurfs. Some higher level players don't play ranked much so their account derank all the way back. It is one of the biggest flaws in the ranked system that I've complained about often in here. Once you get to silver it will likely get better.
@hayhor@Cheese9Man Thanks you two. Not sure I want to take that much abuse just to get to silver.
I'll just go back to the "decent game 1 in 5, good game 1 in 20" experience of pubs.
It seriously shook my confidence and pissed me off. I know it is just a video game, but I can't just turn off my competitiveness that easily.
