Smurfs problem

[Papermoon_]

This game is ridiculously full of smurfs, and the devs don't care. In one game I was matched against 2 guys, both mid-plat with 98% win rate but with a level 5 account. At this rate the game will never attract new players, and new accounts will just be another smurf account of some bored high-level player. There would be solutions to lower the number of smurf accounts, for example by giving access to comps to accounts from level 15 or 20 onwards. Losing points couse of smurfs is not fun.

Some people also suggested higher point reward when having a winstrike
This would make smurf get back at their normal level way way faster and it could reward normal players for getting good results lately
Saw some other suggestions that thè first few ranked match you do determine the rank you will start at, which for smurf would reduce the amount of people they would stomp on

how do you get a98% win rate in PLATINUM And ONLY be level 5?
you're lying dude.

I do however agree that new acocunts shouldnbt be able to partiicpate in ranked.
KO city did it that way, to ensure no smurfs or ppl cheating gummed up the circuits with fake numbers.

I'm not lying at all! This is the guy: https://strikr.gg/pilot/father%20of%208
Now is lvl7 and 93% win rate. 3 days ago was 5 and 98% win rate.

it only takes around 50 games to hit diamond if you have 100% winrate so its entirely possible

Yeah, Competitive is practically unplayable with the amount of smurfs there are.

That's disgusting.
After League, Dota, etc, the devs pretty much do nothing against smurfs in every game out there, so i'm not expecting anything here either.

Smurfs are such a problem, I just started a few days ago but I feel 0 fun when playing comp, every game is against smurfs. Probably the reason why the game has low population and losing players

[toasted]

how would you fix a smurf problem it feels like every competitive game in existence has this issue

It would be a reduced issue by adding stuff like "first few branked determines in which rank you will start between rookie and gold"(like i heard some games has this system)
And having a point gain boost on win strike, which would make smurf gain points faster assuming they are more likely going to win they would gain more point and make them get to their correct level faster, at the same time of rewarding normal players for doing great lately if they manage to have a winstrike

not every game has this issue. most good games will sneakily offer somethign to legacy players amd then require you nweed an axccount to play, as to keep your special goodies.
braggin rights / drip is stuff that makes smurfs less tneitcing, unless theyre doing it to manipulate the rnaked. which is probably the case

Again guys, another guy lvl8 on high platinum. I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tired of this ♥♥♥♥. This game deserve to die.
