Smurfing, regardless of skill level, is cheating of matchmaking system. Its like cheating your age when applying to minor leagues, while your age would force to play in adult leagues instead.

Why would it ever be a problem to admit I'm less skilled than someone else? That's just reality a lot of the time and it's not a good character trait to delude yourself otherwise.

The only issue is that you can never know if someone is a smurf unless it's somebody giving it away on a stream or just telling it themselves in the chat. Otherwise, there's no game metric that can conclusively show someone is a smurf. A fresh account with high win-rate could just be someone coming from a game like OW - and being high-rank there, finds it easy to climb.

So if you report someone as a "smurf" without them telling that they are - it's very likely you're trying to ruin a legitimate account.

Blame the ranked system not the players ^^

Whats the point of smurfing? playing against lower skilled people for easy wins so yes if they aint better the point of smurfing aint there, doesnt change the fact that theyre scared to play against people on their own skill level which makes them mentally weak and have skill issue as well.

Most who cry "smurf" do so as way to discredit the accused as a way to avoid admitting that..

The funny thing is a 90% or more of smurf claims aren't actually smurfs, but the result of the matchmaking system working as intended atrempting to force a loss/win onto someone.

This isn't to say smurfs don't exist, because they certainly do, but they aren't nearly as prevalent as players would like to belive. They blame smurfing because from their perspective and limited understanding that's what it looks like.. when in reality its just the terrible matchmaking working as intended..

It's super easy for any player to end up looking like a smurf with this matchmaking system..

You can have hundreds of hours on an account and all you gotta do is artificially deflate your total average win rate low enough and the system will start trying to force wins on you, resulting in matches where you and/or your teammates look like smurfs to the other side, due to matchmaking making a grossly uneven match in an attempt to force wins/losses on a player..

I've gotten my win rate so low, where I can literally contribute nothing and my team still wins, just because the matchmaking is trying to keep my win rate from getting to low

If you're young, and you report a p3d0file for going after kids your age, arent you just admiting they are less skill issued than u?
