Smurfing in Cs2?

[Brakiu]

Smurfing
Not many people talks about this subject but, smurfing is bad in the same way hacking is.

Both ruin the game, and valve, like other companies, need to look at this with a more serious way.

In other games, smurfing gives a ban to players.

Do you agree with this?
Does valve needs to make this kind off approach?

Smurfing is bad because its breaking the rules breaking the rules it's bad o.k?

Yes and No,

1) Yes smurfing is bad, but sometime you want to play a game with 0 consequences and having a smurf, close to your main account where you play for fun is relaxing.

2) And if you have friends who are lower rank, you have to use a smurf, Valve give you no other choice.

I have a friend, who should be under 5k my smurf is 10-12k, i boosted him to 11k, wich is way under my main, he is boosted but i'm a smurf, our rank is 10-12k when whe play together. That doesn't mean we win every game, quite the opposite, it's balanced. I can't 1v5 in 12-13k rank, yes i can end up with 30+ kills, that doesn't mean we win.

3) My main started 3,5k rank where all my smurf started over 10k... ask Valve how the ♥♥♥♥ is that possible.. i sometime don't play for a month on my main and lose 5 to 10k rank .. and yes then i have to rank it up again.. wich look like smurfing.. i don't understand why valve keep doing this and i'm not the only one in this situation.

4) The game punish you when you are good, win streak make you play against ppl 3-5k rank above you, so you are stuck at your rank..

the win streak means you aren't playing against strong enough opponents to learn and grow
so beat them and rank up, or lose to them and learn so you get better and rank up later

this is basic stuff - when you "boost" your friends you're depriving them of opportunities to get better, and ruining games (where people have to play against you + a bunch of people who suck and are being carried)

your friends will just go on a losing streak and drop back down to where they belong as soon as you stop carrying them

yes, it's extremely obvious to me that the ranking system is working very poorly
the mix of players i get in every game basically feels random

smurfing/boosting is a big part of that

maybe rankings should only be earned by solo queueing? that way, you know how good each player is (instead of knowing their group of 5 friends has 1 guy who's actually good enough to solo carry through silver)

Valve is the one matching you up against smurfs. Blame them.

Look at my match last night, their elos(combined) are significantly higher than ours, but not only that, they are all on win streaks, my team including me are all on losing streaks.

Where is the outrage over valve rigging matches?
