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

@E9ine_AC
Smurfing is literally creating an alt acount to play on. And that definition of smurfing makes no sense since everyone is mostly complaing bout new highly skilled accounts in lower lobies.

@Nandor78Hey there, Hideouts had made a clear definition of what that report feature is there for. He explains it is considered smurfing when you purposely tank your stats to stay in low end lobbies for easy kills and wins. This does not apply to owning an alt account which for most quickly moves out of easy lobbies.

This is wrong, if youre taking 20-30 losses to get a botish lobby, first of all its not gona be bottom matchamking its going to be medium matchmaking, and one good game and youre out (and if you managed to get some sort of badge out of it, youre above your normal lobby). This is * your stats beyond recognition to get 1 good game.

The smurfs create accounts, and youre in protection mode for the first 10 levels atleast where you drop sbmm real fast even if you do a 40 bomb. Same you can cleanly just level to 10 and join ranked to circumvent sbmm and play bronze to gold and restart all over again, this is smurfing. In my experience you have special care under lvl 10 for matchmaking, and from 10-100 you are gradualy put into the full sbmm, after 100 you get stiffed every game outside if you have multiple character doing ranked from 0-gold every season then you got permanent lower matchmaking)

@TheGhostOfKievfunny how smurfing is a reportable offense but at the same time your rank gets reset to Bronze 4 regardless of your rank

THIS is why bronze have no entry cost, and you get reset to bronze 4 only start of season, split you dont. So in the start of ranked, even if the advanced players tool you you can still get points and climb, but they climb extremely fast out of bronze, and quickly they are out of your segment so you can just enjoy ranked on your level to work to improve. But when people start reaching their limits (and ofc some content creators) they start making smurf accounts to mess with people learning so they can feel like gods, that is the problem, not start season. 

@ZkepzI get that but you understand that,

"eeeh just climb to high rank if you are a good player"

you realise how different people are? people can be same rank, people can be diamond but some might take double the amount of time to actually climb there,

I want to hear devs's excuse on why people get reset to Bronze, "you don't lose RP when you lose" "if you are good you will get to high rank"

There are people who turn the game on mid season, that are in skill level a plat or a diamond,

where are they? in bronze

and why? because a short period of time elapsed and ranks gotta be reset for some reason

because people need to engage with the game that's why they only give you the dive trails for a limited time

how about you get a job, a high qualified CEO job, you earn it with your effort, and we just for fun downgrade you to a janitor because "a new season has come out"

oh if you made it to CEO you just gonna get there again bro don't worry

that's just my point of view

@damsonwhufndthis I was think that if ur account has ever gone above Gold you should reset to Gold minimum. As far as multiple accounts, they should be allowed, but it should be like max 4-5 accounts with one phone #. No new accounts every season. No making new accounts when ur account gets to Plat and u can't get 4K dmg.
