Reliable way to report smurfs

[♱ Nazzuki ♱]

It's against your TOS already, give us an option to manually or in-game report smurfing specifically and not go via cheating or toxic behavior category

Didn't they remove the ability to see people's levels and ranks so you can't even tell now if you're against a smurf or a really seasoned veteran.

I doubt it would change anything because you cant ban someone just beceause you think he might be a smurf, there is too much risk in banning innocent person.

But how do you know someone's smurfing? Just because they do good in a game and are a relatively low level?

People can come from console, people can be a seasoned fps player and just be half decent at siege. There's a list of things that could explain a low level player doing well, hence why they don't have a "report smurf" button, cause we don't know what's a smurf and what isn't. Like Ubi doesn't want to ban random players for what could be nothing.

This came from the AMA:

"We have already committed ourselves and are currently working on this topic within our team and with our partners to get an accurate understanding of the smurfing ecosystem via data collection and analysis. Currently what we want to do is:
We are looking at account rules modification to establish stronger controls at the account level.
Also, on the game side we will explore various possibilities including the identification of the main account (in terms of performance) to automatically adjust certain values so that alt accounts meet this rank/performance."

It sounds like they are looking at making the main account's mmr apply to all related accounts. The real question is how long would it take to implement this. This sounds completely in the idea phase, which means it could be at least a year or two before it becomes reality.

I love how Ubisoft is trying to cover up that their matchmaking is so bad, you can have a full team of beginners that are only playing this game for less than 6 days come across full team of sweaty tryhards that play this game since 2015 and have 5 accounts with 300 lvl diamond.

at least you can still check players' levels with R6Tracker, but guessing, once Ubi realizes R6Tracker exists, they will make Battleye detect it as a cheat, meanwhile cheaters are using 28 different versions of cheat engine with Battleye not detecting it at all.

I think the best way is to always have your video recording on and when there's an obvious smurt, post it on youtube and send the link to ubi customer service.

They can't even catch the cheaters in this game, what makes you think they can stop the smurfs?
