@jumanjaydazed Well lets look at tonight, I've had over a dozen rounds in which I went up against teams that looked like this.. 1 smurf account below level 50, 2 high skill accounts with 20 bombs and 3000+ Kills.

Most of the games tonight has been some degree of that or another. Smurfing to circumvent SBMM will stand out like a sore thumb in numerous ways. I guess they could entirely avoid the banning by just fixing their queue system.. That would go a long ways towards dealing with it.

@DarthValtrex I'm not so sure it's smurf accounts. I thought so before also, but I been noticing a lot of cheating recently. I have no doubt a lot of the cheaters are caught and spoof the hardware, then reroll. My gut tells me we are seeing a lot of low level reroll cheaters.
