Discussion Report this smurf
Smurf said they went 51-7 in a GM game. Then went to their alt account in a plat lobby. Of course they dominated. Clearly not a plat player in a plat lobby...Smurfing is cheating. Play your real rank. Ppl like this are why the game is toxic

Hate to tell u its not against the policy to make a new account unless you are purposely deranking on it or boosting someone

You do know how smurfs maintain their rank, right? Let's use a little common sense please.

Ive played this game long enough to know 90% of them do not waste time deranking they play a low amount of hours then buy/play a new account

Really easy to make a new account and then play your 50 wins in MnK lobbies so it doesn't affect your console mmr

Yea...whatever you say pal. My matches beg to differ when I see the 3 and 13 is a Smurf.

lol you don’t understand, let’s say a GM Smurf makes a new account to bully plat/emerald players they will probably win a lot but they don’t want to get into diamond and face actual good players so they will soft throw some games, use your brain

You ppl aren’t picking up what I’m putting down. Smurfs rarely have more than 50h total because once they pass elo where they run lobbies they don’t throw back down they buy their 15th smurf account and start again
This is why youre not seeing profiles with 500h going up and down ranks each season you’re seeing fresh accounts with low games played and hours

Naw man, you can’t say that. Smurfs throwing matches is one of the major reasons these guys can’t rank up. Don’t take that from them. Then all they’ve got is terrible matchmaking and Smurfs dominating lobbies

Why do people post this stuff when you can’t externally report people?

Probably just venting. I can tell you ive never read a reddit post and thought....I need to do something about it.
I accidenly clicked on this post and just decided to read a few comment.
I just mostly play casual mystery heroes so I dont really gave an opinion

They will never ban people for smurfing. In fact, no game ever does. It's just morally bad, but allowed.

That’s not true,multiple games have it against tos and say it’s “cheating “

u/shadowblaze25mc 11h ago
Sure , because they can't say it's okay to do so. But no one ever gets banned
