RESPAWN, STOP these Streamers from using SMURF accounts.

This NEEDS to be addressed, having these popular streamers using SMURF accounts to, “create content” needs to STOP. It’s encouraging & validating people to create more SMURF accounts, thereby render...

@Cheese9Man Oh okay because its a “challenge” it’s acceptable.

“Okay then im going to start a new challenge, its called the HAVOC only challenge, but I can use strike packs to give it NO Recoil.”

@SILVERisSORRY LOL I understand your frustration when it comes to smurfs. I hate them too but if it's like the bronze-pred challenge like itzTimmy I wouldn't mind. What was the smurf streamer doing?

      @SILVERisSORRYI agree with smurfs. What stinks more than smurfs is how they handle them now. Basically the sbmm ramps ultra fast after having a few decent games. So an actual new player who is naturally good gets punished really quick, which is wrong too. This probably hurts new players more than the actual smurfs.

      If it is the timmy account he used to get to pred that account will already be in advanced lobbies. But I agree it shouldnt be allowed.

      @SILVERisSORRY I can definitely see both sides when it comes to this issue but yeah that's respawn's current take on the subject. Had a friend who was late to the apex party and was quickly discouraged because of the smurfs. We can't invite him because he's just gonna get rolled in our lobbies but if we make smurf accounts ourselves then we'll become what we hate.

      @SILVERisSORRYHideouts said this, if he finds that you consistently make multiple accounts to stomp on lower lobbies he will take action against you. So basically, anyone can use a smurf account

      I was playing in(stomping) some Bronze/Silver lobbies a few days ago. Also, played against lvl 30 enemies in Arena ranked. No smurf account needed(tier demotion stacked) , Apex ranked system is not the pinnacle of competitive matchmaking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        It’s a little contradicting considering you can literally report for ‘smurfing’.

        It sets a precedent, which anyone can now debate by saying ‘I was just trying to do the Bronze to Pred challenge’.

        It also downplays wtv EA user agreement methods players utilize to report, cause we all know reporting them won’t do anything.

        But hey, don’t you dare slip a little curse word, cause you’ll catch that ban in a heart beat.
