Dota 2
smurfs every game
I have 12k conduct and at 5.9k mmr ish and Ive lost 7 games in a row getting smurfs, especially in party games where people get boosted, whether a smurf boosts a mate that is uncalibrated to get as much wins as possible but it's really getting out of hands. At first it looked pretty solid without smurfs but now I keep getting them either on my team or the enemy, lot's of acc buyers as well. Today I encountered a smurf that has 62% overall winrate on the account. How is this kind of an account not getting shadow banned? When is it time when Valve really does something about it?

As long as they can keep creating new steam accounts that are allowed to start from scratch this will keep happening. Ban waves don't do much.
I get at least 1 smurf out of 2/3 games, that's the current state of Dota.
I think they are testing stuff out and I think the staff reads these posts they just dont reply to them. I was getting even behavior score matches before but that system is broken its not skill based so its often very 1 sided and the system itself almost forces you to report people every game because they will report you over every little thing they don't agree with even if you do well and win. I brought that up in some comments and now my matches have "heavily varied behavior scores" or something along those lines. It is still often 1 sided matches where 1 team is good and other team is new. One game enemy team had 10k wins 10k hours on some players my side had ppl with like 2k or less. Some accounts were new so could be smurfs. Either way I think they are trying to come up with a solution to a broken system or lose players to other mobas. They need to remove behavior score system add mute icons in game for each player so people dont get salty. Then they need to adjust the matching system no game should have fresh installs and 1-2 hours vs teams with 10k hours makes zero sense. My experience is with ability draft fyi.

My experience with AD is a queue time of 30 minutes only to get people who abandon because they didn't get Essence Shift, Burrowstrike and Shukuchi.

Games are still one sided no matter which mode you play, behaviour score doesn't change that either

I lost 9 games after they banned 1/4 of player base
Valve allow boosters and smurfs and account buyers but sometimes they are getting out of control so they ban them. However, boosters thrive again because now they get more businesses and valve doesn't care.

Funny how ban waves are followed by even worse quality games.
I experience the exact same and it's obvious why

Is there anything better to do in Dota2 for leveled out players besides smurfing? Nobody wants to get stuck in stagnation in a video game. In particular, if being stuck at Immortal with hard fought 50% win rate matches gives you much less than an easy living with a 60% win rate at Herald. E.g. more Dota+ shards in less time and with less effort.

How about not ruining other people's games?

Smurfing is going to continue as long as dota continues. Unless they introduce full blown personal id identification, that you would have to scan at each steam login attempt. Otherwise you will never get rid of this situation. You can complain about rain jn London, but unless you move you will experience such weather from time to time. The same way you will experience smurfs in dota as long as you are playing that game

Yes, but that should come naturally by the game design and not by player’s personal altruism in acting against their own interests. With the actual game design the game punishes high level gamers for their skills. Although playing hard fought matches on Immortal level they gain less rewards in 60 min gaming than lucky winners in 20 min stomps at Herald level.

It's a free game so there will always be smurfs
Sometimes, when you put $200 down on a $15 blackjack game, you'll lost upwards of 10 hands in a row, to the most ridiculous card runouts possible. It's called variance, and it exists in games such as blackjack or dota.

Is the game rigged? Maybe. Do the casinos rig the cards and the dispensers? Maybe. But that's just one of many possibilities you're choosing to focus on without any, hate to say it, actual empirical evidence/experiment.
