Smurfing and SBMM are beyond a joke

Adding the option to report smurfing is a step in the right direction but it’s not enough, and half the time it doesn’t let you anyway! I’m not sure if this is because people just set themselves to o...

I'm of the opinion that adding a higher level requirement for ranked would help reduce the issue with smurfing.

the higher the better, but it is up to the devs to find the correct number.

@Vdstrk Very few make up into Master/Pred and lots of people don’t play ranked because they are not interested in the rewards.

What would a rank above Predator be? The top 100? They already offer that, your pred badge will display your rank number.

I don’t think a new rank would do much. If you’re suggesting a new rank for pubs, it will send even more of the top 2% running. Some of my Stats put me in the top .3% but overall I’m probably top 5% or so. I bounce in and out of try hard lobbies. Are they hard? Yes, but they are not impossible.

  Oh. I think I may have given you the wrong idea.
  What I mean, in order to start playing ranked, instead of being level 10, let's make it to be lvl 100 (or more depending on what devs think to be better?).

    @Vdstrk Sure I get what you’re saying, but I know some really good low level players who are not smurfs.
    
    Most top rank players I know Diamond-pred have to grind most of the season to reach and maintain their rank.

@Vdstrk I agree, yet there is still the issue of Masters and even Preds in Bronze lobbies which is crazy. I always quit ranked once I reach gold (because I like the gold charms) and Last season they didn't even let me play in Bronze. I started at the end of silver. So there are many issues with Ranked at this point in time.
