ItzTimmy and BUrntpeanut were on a smurf, I was solo q in Silver 3, so I get killed by a Pro Player!!!! How is that acceptable but 3 stack pred against Diamonds is the biggest problem?? I cannot go play as a Master player to destroy rank integrity of Master... but ANY Diamond, Master, Pred can go on a smurf account and play in Silver, Gold and Platinum... without ever be banned... how is that serious for rank? Other solution would be to face verify every D3 and over players so they can't play on smurfs in rank, if they want to play with friends let them play in pubs. If their friends want to grind then let them do it without that Master player.
"face verify every D3 and over player"
Smurfing isn't just a cancer from platinum on up. It's a cancer throughout the entire game all the way down to rookie, and laterally across every single mode in the game from pubs to ranked to wildcard to bots. Even bots, if you can believe it. But Respawn would rather drive away every last casual player in the game than upset the pro/streamer applecart. It's always been this way and it always will be.

Exactly! Which is why I say face verify D3 and higher... which means you can stop them from having smurfs then...

That says to me that it's okay for a plat one player to have a secondary - that smurfing isn't really smurfing unless you're a top 5% player.
Imo, having an army of hard stuck platinums rattling around in rookie and bronze lobbies whenever it is they feel they've earned the right to "relax" is no better than a predator doing the same. Maybe worse because they're more likely to linger in those lower-skill lobbies for longer.
Nope, if you're gonna verify identity then do it for everyone across the board. Although I can tell you right now that the military-industrial-cheat complex will find a workaround in less time than you can say, "Knucklecluster out." Just send them a jpeg of your face and they'll level up your account for you. Or kids taking pictures of everyone they ever met who doesn't play the game just so they can start new accounts that way. I guarantee you that inside the first week Ronald McDonald would be a "verified" Apex player. And so would Freddie Mercury. And the President. And all the old Presidents. And all the dead Presidents. The opportunities for dip**bleep**tery are pretty much limitless.
