Re: Smurfs are a big problem.

@DaAceXD It isn't necessarily smurfing. Everyone starts in bronze at first regardless of how good they are. It is entirely possible that these people just started playing ranked recently and are just still moving up the ranks.

    @SixthOTD 

    i forgot to mention they are around level 14.

    not talking about lvl 100 accounts starting the season now.

    thats obviously not a smurf.

    since they definition of smurfing is to create a new account to kill newer and bad players.

    so when you see a lvl 14 with all the best badges  destroying every player in the game.

    Its not assuming its a smurf anymore.

    smurfs are rather easy to spot.

    @SixthOTD It is smurfing, if I wanted to i could compile hundreds fo screen shots of smurf accounts. It's a huge problem in Apex right now.

    Some of them are smurf accounts to try and circumvent SBMM. Some of them are new accounts from cheaters. I recently saw something like a 26 or 34 with 388 kills. The only way that can happen is 1. cheating or 2. a highly skilled smurf account.

    I called one out the other night, his response was classic.. "I got a new xbox. and a bunch of cursing.."

    I responded Oh ya? new xbox and you deleted all the content you had on your old one? I'm sure you did.. My 5 year old nephew can tell a better lie.
  • It is smurfing if you’re level 10 and you’re getting 20 kills and 4K. It needs sorted because everyone I use to play this game with have gone. Don’t play it anymore, I’ve got to the point I’ll play a couple games a week because of smurfs. The games gone and apex are losing players fast.. RIP APEX
