Suggestion: Low Trust Factor for Smurfs should be handled

[fbfhgghfghffghfhg]

Hello.
I am posting this from my smurf account. I made it because I wanted to play with lower level friends of mine, while teaching Silvers, Gold Novas and AK's new ways to play the game.
The problem is that I got a very low Trust Factor within 1 week.
I have a suggestion on how this could be fixed: I think players with a Low Trust Factor (such as mine) should be seen in Overwatch. If they pass on the Overwatch "test", they should be given a normal trust factor again and make it harder for them to ever get a low trust factor again.
Tell me what you think about it, maybe VALVE will take it in consideration, who knows?

Disclaimer: Before you offend me for smurfing, I don't even try to play well to give others a chance and I really just want to make new friends and play with the friends I already have, I have the right to play with my real life friends who also have the right to not be able to achieve my rank.

this is a horrible idea what about the poor guys tryna get gn1 but other team keeps gettin carried heavy by smurfs ruins the fun for everyone

So imagine that I just got a new Steam account, because it got hacked or what ever reason. Then I would be forced to have a low trust factor and playing against cheaters simply because I was better... doesn't seem very fair to treat better players as cheaters. Specially because some players report and hackusate everyone that plays better than them.

The thing is that I play the way I want. Trust Factor was implemented by Valve to fight cheaters, there was never anything against smurfing and that's only a problem for low rank players.
Any legit player with a lower Trust Factor should have a chance to make it normal once again without having to play months/years with cheaters (I have seen people who said it only got back to normal after years).

Read the room. You're either a bad troll or dumb yourself. It's obvious that most people have a similar opinion regardless of rank. I'm not silver and I think smurfing is utter B.S- to go and wreck people lower than yourself is kind of low IMO and are just as bad as said hackers due to the fact you're still cheating essentially because you're purposely going against people who you're obviously going to beat and trash their ranks. I remember my silver days of coming up against blatant smurfs and when I eventually got out of Silver Hell my ranks flew up because most the smurfs were gone, it's kind of low and pathetic and this is why the community isn't going to grow.

Trust factor working as intended :)

Trust Factor wasn't implemented to combat cheaters. It was implemented to provide a better and more enjoyable experience to those who not only play fair and avoid toxic behaviour, but those that continue to be an upstanding member of the Steam community.

Smurfing may not be seen as cheating, but it is behaviour that is deemed unfair. A smurf is generally someone who is far better than the rank they are now playing at, and because of this, they are essentially ruining the enjoyment of said lower ranks through an unfair skill advantage.

I would put far more stock into the fact that Trust was designed to combat smurfs, than it was to combat cheaters. Either way, both parties are quickly bundled into the same cesspool thereafter
