smurfing accounts

I'm currently hardstuck in gold. The last several days after my squad has been wiped, I check to see who I died to. Its rarely anyone above level 150, and today several times they've been less than level 25...

I have no problem with people creating new accounts to play with low level friends, but these are 2 and 3 packs of players all at the same skill level. They've been bronze 4 the season before so it's not a main account. You will never have MMR unless you crack down on these accounts, its insanely unfair for your casual player base. Why don't you implement minimum levels for ranked so that people can't just create a new smurf account and drop into a ranked match and wipe the whole lobby with their smurf friends? Why make this the easiest game to smurf in, there's literally nothing holding anyone back. Speaking of the ease to create a new smurf account with no repercussions, you should at least crack down for the sake of the number of cheaters that use these accounts for their hacks. I've never seen anyone hack or cheat on an account they've actually put time into, at least it's incredibly rare.

You need to fix this, it gets worse every season and it's sad that these cheat developers and smurfs are miles ahead of a billion dollar gaming company.

    I'd recommend moving this thread or posting a new thread in the General Discussions Subforum, that way more users will see your post.

    Adding in a limit can hurt the competitive playerbase of this game.

    If players are drawn by the competitive mode then this would hold them back.

    Now of course, that wouldn't hold up to the fact that it would help out the game on a long term basis.

    Though do note that adding in a minimum level can result in botted lobbies so those accounts can be leveled up.
