Smurfing is a Reportable Offense, So Why Are Streamers Allowed to do it?

Ranked BR is in a terrible state, possibly the worst yet, and Respawn refuses to utilize it's own reporting/suspension/banning system.... THEN WHY HAVE IT???? Just remove any and all ability to repo...

That's why.

Unfortunately I think the smurfing situation will only get worse as the game generally gets harder since the players get better as well.

The requirement of a phone number to make an account is not 100% smurf proof but it will lessen the number of smurfs for sure. It’s so easy to make another account in consoles.

Smurfing has excellent business side effect - Respawn can show their stakeholders that the game is growing in account number.

  @PsyhiX69 Then remove it from being a reportable offense. Period.

    Just don't play ranked. I quit for this reason. It was ridiculous.
