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.
On the other hand, a player who has 10+ smurf accounts obviously knows what they're trying to do, so it's easier to ban them justifiably.

@LaughingSharkoSo what the report option should say is 'I suspect he has 10+ smurf accounts' lol
He didn’t ruin only but a few games, he ruined all the games from Bronze to Masters.
Why? Simple explanation, there’s no rank demotion, so anything below Pred, where he belongs, has been smurfed.
When I see the uproar as to implementing demotion, because players will intentionally derank to farm/stomp…..yet we give a pass to streamers smurfing for ‘challenges’? - 4 years ago@Gabrielmojo26 A lot of people, just regular players, use smurfs to play ranked with friends. I don't see Respawn taking any hard stance against that. And I see the same stuff in other shooters, so doubt anything concrete will be done
One solution would be 'rank calibration'- oh, look this guy just dropped 20 kills, 5k dmg in Bronze. Straight to Plat IV(preds get demoted to Plat II after reset)
But, would that really solve that big chunk of the problem? Imo the number of people who get demoted to lower tiers just cause they took ranked break for a split(like me) or even a season outweighs the number of smurfs. I was Diamond first split S9, currently I am in silver. Most of the silvers can't shoot straight, it's like playing pubs.
My teammate was a Lvl 15 with 4k badge, I flew him off the map. But I am in silver doing the same thing that he is trying to, only difference is I am on my main. My 3rd is an idiot who rezzed him, so here we go.... - Gabrielmojo264 years agoSeasoned Ace
@BaldWraithSimpHere’s another unpopular opinion, I am one to praise a rank re-structure, and not only because the pros are asking for it.
I do have a buddy that just started playing Apex, he was asking why is it he's playing against really good players with "the pile of skulls badge" every other game....lol
