TIP for Valve: How to get rid of smurf.

[Road to 44% winrate!!!]

Usually, Smurfs will not play unranked match, this is where raw-data that Valve can collect to dedect who is smurf and who is not. by using this ways. many trash Immortal player won't spend time in unranked match because they were paid to boost mmr. As a result data collected. we can use the "type 4(variety data and large quantity data)" AI training to create an AI that can detect smurf very high accuracy. anyone have the same though like me?

make the game more enjoyable for newbie and lower rank, which will help increase new player and the game will live for really long time. I not good at playing dota 2. but I am mastered AI training all 4 types. I am sure I can do that.

Where is this new player pool coming from? Dota 2 is a game people learn about through hear-say and show and tell. Dota 2 does not have adds, commercials or promotions outside their first party posts or 3rd party social media accounts. The game stands on its own feet. I imagine the "New" players are alt account and smurf, as I have not seen a genuine new player in a very long time.

I guess you wanted to answer that question with "I want the smurfs to be detected to ban them from my matches". Ok, than Valve should take the demands and needs of leveled-out, mature players equally serious than those of newbies that still climb the ladder. Because it doesn't make much sense to gain more new players just to lose the old ones. A broader focus on all player groups may be helpful. Banning smurfs is more a measure to combat the symptoms of a deficiency disease than to eliminate the deficiency itself.

The problem is many other dota players don't play unranked either.

If u think carefully, U can ezly realize that 95% smurf wont play unranked match under low-mmr account. Which is mean we have clean data who is not smurf. we track that 5% left. we can ban a bunch of them already.

Its not hard to detect most smurfs. cause they dont care and they stomp people since first match.
I reported a guy for smurfing about 1 month ago for stomping enemy team in offlane with terrorblade and being mvp in 2nd match in their account. it was his second match.
and guess what?! 150 game played - legend - last game 10h ago :))
They dont need ai for this. i literally show them smurf, and they dont do anything :))
So forget about your whole topic.

The topic is ok, but the usual solutions are narrow minded. Why ban players in a game that already suffers from a low player count, split on too many lobbies, modes and options? Decrease the attraction of low level gaming and increase the attraction of high-level gaming. That‘s the way to go.

Smurfs don't increase player count + I quit dota and havent spent any $$$ on it for 4 months because fake accounts are always the most toxic and gaming ruining while Valve refuses to keep their promises to ban them. So, they actually just lost players due to it because I know others have quit for same reasons.

"Increase attraction of high-level gaming" is lolz....aka lets make account buying and smurfing even more enticing. With ideas like that, I must imagine you would similarly recommend to solve shoplifting by leaving all the product by the front door and moving all the security to the back. Not good ideas. Not good.
