@AllSquadsOn1Spot I don't think they can ban smurfs just because it's a new account doing well... That would be kind of ridiculous. What if someone played on a different system such as PS4 and then got an Xbox? They would have to create a new account and they would destroy the people they're up against.
Similar to my return to PC. My PC stats were garbage back on release day so I stayed on PS4. I recently returned to PC and I'm dropping people all over the server.
Everyone is ready for bans to happen and I just don't understand it. If someone is using legitimate cheats (hacks) to ruin the game for others then banning is good for the community. But banning people who are just playing the game legitimately is bad for business. If enough people get banned queue times increase and the higher the queue times the more likely impatient players will leave to play a different game. Banning people for no real reason will kill the game. Take a look at Fallout 76. Small player base and even those that do play have caught bans. It's widely known as a flop and a game where its player base is consistently beaten down with bans.
Respawn and Apex are heading down a similar path.

Oke but let's be real tho, Fallout 76's spectacular failure was not the direct result of people receiving banns.
The game was god awful, often literally unplayable from the bugs, the massive embarrassment from the supposed "canvas" duffle bags and nuka dark rum bottles further drove it into the ground.
The issue of players sneaking into the developers debug room, stealing the best items, and duplicating those and the very very poor handling of this affair was only one of many footnotes in that disaster of a game lmao.
The video's about F76 are pretty hilarious 🙂
I don't think I ever laughed harder than when I saw Internet Historian's video
