- @Cheese9Man I guess I won't bother then LOL
- @Daze623 As far as I know only verbal abuse in chat can get you banned easily. As for cheating/teaming etc, it would take much more time.
Had to report 2 teams teaming back in season 8 with loads of evidence (videos) but none of the 6 cheaters were banned. Checked their names for 2 months. Sad part is, had they of used the work "dumb" or "dumb*ss" or had a username such as, (Jew-jitsu), they would have been banned instantly.
@Daze623 Smurfing hasn't been a concern of any game developer I've ever known. They just do not care about it. The benefit of the old Ranking systems tier protection made it less, even though anyone could have multiple accounts. Now it is full on smurf mode everywhere you go.
I have to say it never bothered me personally. Plus, if you let your rank drop, with the splits, everybody started the new season/split as a smurf until they ranked up. Now, though, with the way ranked is a grind, no tier protection, there's 'smurfing' in ranked AND pubs and it's here to stay unless that tier protection comes back.
Respawn is catering to their pro players and streamers, even if it hurts others in their player base right now. That's on them. Maybe they'll change it, maybe they won't but I doubt they will if they like the way things seem to them.
