How to ban smurfs?
Smurfs are bannable according to ToS but how do we report them? Do we just report them as cheating/hacking or what? Because there is no specific button for it.

It’s not rly bannable.
The thing is, we cant prove someone is smurfing. Smurfs are pretty much just another thing to pin the blame on if you lose. They exist, but they aren't common in game

There are a few problems with this

1. You can't ban someone because you suspect he/she is a smurf, many players are very experienced from other games and may have looked up many of the mechancis prior to playing the game

2. The ToS only states that you can't have multiple accounts, outside of the fact that it's really hard to prove whether 2 accounts are linked together you also run into a problem of a person just deleting the other account and starting out fresh, why would that person be banned for buying the game again?

3. Why would you ban someone for being good? After a few games the "smurf" will reach the rank that they are supposed to play on...

Just play the game and get better, just because someone is a smurf does not mean that you can't beat them. Playing with a 5 stack guarantess you a good fighting chance.

The hard part about smurfs is first tracking them down and proving they're the same person. In all technicality, they purchased the game on a new account as a "New Player" thus making them legally own the game as a different person.

If a person is champion on their main account and is smurfing in copper, it will not be "just a few games" for them to get back to the rank they are suppose to be in. Depending on how much MMR they are gaining it will take them a while no matter how good they are, they could carry and still lose. It's not banning someone for being good, it's banning someone for purposely playing in a rank they are not supposed to, and by doing that they are abusing the system. Beating a smurf isn't impossible but telling someone to "get better" or to play with a 5 stack doesn't fix the problem or guarantee anything. Smurfing is smurfing and it ruins the game, this is literally indisputable.

Are you talking about smurfing or dropping ranks on purpose? Those are 2 different things and dropping ranks on purpose can actually get you banned as far as I'm aware. Your starting MMR is(last time I checked) 2500. That means you will be starting in silver 1/gold 3. After that, assuming someone is champion (which I don't think I have to tell you that it's unlikely) it will take around 25 games to get back there, after that they will start playing at their rank and next season they will be placed higher up.

Remember when you asked your teacher what you do with the math you learn at school?

Smurfing should be relatively easy to spot from the statistics. Since your skill is so much further than the level you're at, you'll see streaks of games with massive frags followed by a streak of quits/afk/Tk and what not. It's an unavoidable consequence of the pattern of keeping your rank artificially low.

In short, you'll see an un-usually high range of highs/low's without any real middle ground in the stats. If you know a player from that IP is also an active player on another account, you can do a fairly easy comparison to what you'd expect from those stats at the lower tiers. Followed by if you see the active account log out, followed by the suspected smurf log in or vice versa.. you've tagged yourself a very probable smurf.

Pretty much cant enforce it. Even if they check IP's theres no way to prove it isnt someone else playing.
I can't even blame day 1 Apex Legends 1.0 lobby as smurf/veteran infested matchmaking.

I'm just wondering because they enforced this problem in the new ToS and they haven't said how they are going to ban smurfs.
