"Smurf" redefined (Pros should be banned?)
Tyler Owens, a build engineer at Respawn, made a twitter thread about the report feature and a person asked if the rookie to masters/pred challenges these streamers/pros do count as a smurf. This is ...

@swift07 I agree, also - shouldn't a pro streamer be held to a higher standard than the regular player base because he holds influence and leads followers.
I am a peace officer by trade, and if I break rules, my punishment is likely to be more severe due to that very fact.
I don't see how the two are much different. Pro streamers endorse the game, influence the player base, have direct influence on the direction of the game and so on and so on. So how is a Pro streamer able to break rules without repercussions, while the average Joe player on his first offence, is held to the letter.
Just seems, well......

@NickBeam27 yes, exactly! haha. But CC's and pros do it for views on their content. I honestly don't even find that type of content to be interesting after ItzTimmy did the solo to pred in one stream. Who's going to top that? Maybe they should think of new content to do. I watched one of Verhulst's solo to masters and I thought it was boring. He was just demolishing people from rookie to gold. I felt bad for those people because they're genuinely trying and they probably lost points.
- @swift07 I have only watched a couple streamers once....and honestly I felt bad also lol. Watching those poor slubbs getting demolished was not satisfying in anyway for me. I'm one of the slubbs : (
- @NickBeam27 lol. Yeah, I felt bad watching it happen. Pretty much letting them know how bad of a player they are.
- @swift07 Cant make it easy to want to jump back in with confidence after those kinds of whooping's.
But at the same time, I gotta appreciate the skills they have to whoop * like that.
Its a conflicting feeling inside for sure lol. - @NickBeam27 that is why it's up to Respawn to enforce these rules.
- @swift07 Agreed!
