Game suffers smurf syndrome

[Onimaho]

Hanging out in D- league cause brand new to a game like this.

Matches end with one team having 20x the points.

Can't really do anything half the time since most fights involve 3 players cycling garaunteed knockdown weapons with one player who for whatever reason is invulnerable 80% of a fight and never misses a melee hit even when you dodge them.

Its not smurf when everyone is forced to start D- bro.
The matchmaking still sometime crash/boot you mid game,peeps don't wanna risk playing rated and get a 30h ban.
You gonna have to wait at least 5 days/however long it take for them to fully fix it before people go rated and get their true level back on pc

In theory this imbalance will get better. But it can be really rough/imbalanced right now.

everyone is d- and the learning curve is deceptive despite appearances

That is the definition of a smurf, having a new account getting placed against low ranked players.

I understand that it is the case because of being ported to PC with no account crossover so everyone has new account.

Still same effect.

Smurfs purposely create new accounts to fight lower ranks,again,thats the difference,here everyone is forced,like I precised.

You wanna talk definition,all the ones I see explaining smurfing involve doing a new account to deceive/do easy beat down on new players.Its not hard to get,here its forced.

Its literally not the same,by definition.This is just a forced restart.
