Why does Psyonix promote cheating and smurfing behavior?

[Soulless]

That is my question.

This has happened countless times, and the recent changes screwed normal players even more. 2v2 is already garbage, since solo players have to play against teams, and A LOT of them are smurfers.

One player, who is Diamond 1, is clearly a smurfer (has 100 hours played in RL), and WASD (totally legit name, indicates something), who has a private profile, is the one trying to boost his rank.

Up until "recent" changes, whenever this would happen, they would play against a Diamond 1 team, because they would be both considered Diamond 1 players. But since that would lower their chances to win, because two Diamond 1 players would wipe them 5-0 and they would ragequit, Psyonix decided to remove this.

So now, even more people are smurfing, since Psyonix made it easier for them to smurf. Well done Psyonix, not only can't you finally make a difference between teams and solo 2v2, but you actively promote smurfing behavior. Can't wait for the next case, developer of the year 2017 award must go to you.

Why you always cryin about smurfing??????there is no smurfing...

Yeah dude, totally no smurfing in the game :) You must have been playing SARPBC then.

Are you kidding? So just because they don't have perfect protection against smurfing, which is impossible, you think they promote it? Do you think they have a giant sign saying "Hey come over here and smurf"?

Did you read what i wrote???this guy will not play against gold players where he could win easyly..that would be smurfing....but he will be stucked in the same rank as before..for me smurfing would be i lose all the ten placement matches and being placed in bronze and than i smurf till i reach my rank where i belong..and im also thinkin about to create a new account...the mmr system is broken as.........

His logic is the equivalent of the United States promoting illegal entry into the country just because they don't have a 20ft wall around the entire country.

Genius!

How is it Psyonix' fault? Because when I play a regular match, against 2 randoms, not a team, and none of the players are smurfing, I tend to be the best player in that game and win. That's the problem. Then, next game, I play against a smurfing team and what am I supposed to do.

I highlighted your problem. If you're not the "best player in that game", then, obviously, the other players are smurfs. You're going to have to come to grips with the fact that no matter how good you are at something, there will always be someone better. If they've tricked you with their "Rookie, Pro, Expert" tags, that is your fault. Those are measurements of time, not skill. Let's say for argument's sake, they are a Champ II player shading as a "Rookie". Who cares? Its one game. You're not the best in the lobby and, unfortunately, that is going to happen to you sometimes. Have fun, do the best you can and learn from the one's that beat you.

Psyonix don't care, simple as that. Smurf account=$$$.

As long as the pros are happy and the crate money is rolling in, then nothing will change. Don't even fix bugs until the pro complain about it.

Proton boost bug. Players complaining about it since it was added, nothing from Psyonix. Pro player complains about it on twitter. Suddenly Psyonix care and fix it.

Demos, broken for ages (still broken). Psyonix do nothing until it happens at RLCS on lan and then suddenly "we have a fix", fix didn't work, but psyonix had no interest in fixing until it affected pro games. Won't be shocked if the current "fix" doesn't get changed until pros complain.

Whine, Complain, etc

If you know these things to be true, why come on here and take the time to post? If they don't care aren't you just making a display to draw attention to yourself? When you bring a complaint without a solution, what have you added to the constructive path of resolution? Have you created support tickets so that the developers see your issue?

Answering the question that was posted.

I could ask why the usual suspects come on here to shill for psyonix. Every complaint thread the same posters are there to downplay any problems with the game and tell you everything is fine.

The way i see it, it doesn't matter if they are both real life friends, if they are a whole tier or more apart in rank, they should NOT be queueing ranked together, if i see any, i report them.

It should be punishable with a perm-ban.

I appreciate the compliment. It means you recognize me. Now, stick with me here, why not learn something from what the "Usual Suspects" post? Personally, I see a major gap between the normal way the world works and the incessant ignorance that is poured out on Psyonix every day in this discussion forum (highlighted for emphasis). It has me worried in the future of our planet. I do my very best, within the confines of cordiality, to insert some logic into this vacuum. The "usual suspects" are commonly confused with trolls because logic is so foreign to many here in this medium.

The question remains...Have you created support tickets so that the developers see your issue? Or are you just typing to hear yourself type?

Why?

I routinely play with real-life friends. Should I be punished for having fun with my friends? What about split screen? Am I not permitted by you, the RL King, to play with my kids?

well you are in the wrong place to find a solution for this issue.
