RESPAWN, STOP these Streamers from using SMURF accounts.

@Gabrielmojo26 You're not wrong.

@SILVERisSORRY It's free publicity ( read money ) for the game. No way the company would turn that down. Most of these "Bronze to X" challenges have a ton of feeders making sure the streamer gets to X faster then would normally be possible, so only a few games get totally ruined ( per streamer. ) The precedent was set when other games allowed people to do this in mass and it will never stop until a game company stops it. Besides, when is the last time you saw a streamer give a F about anyone other than themselves?

@Cheese9Man they don't it but their community will do it. It is bad influence lol

@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....

@SILVERisSORRY Just report every smurf?
