Smurfs in csgo are a serious problem

[Exruxx]

Seriously, why the ♥♥♥♥ is smurfing in csgo allowed ? It is DESTROYING THE GAME ! It is extremly frustrating to play against someone who is just so much better than you, is carrying the other team to unfair victory and you cant do anything about that... Yes, it happened to me today, and it pissed me off. And the same goes for boosting... it is just unfair...

Valve plz! Do something, cant stand all the smurfs in ths game!!!

valve will never do anything against cheater and smurfs ... NEVER

Well, Valve did something.
They introduced Prime-Accounts where you can add you mobile number to your account.
When it starts, Prime-Account users will only get matched to Prime-Account users.
Smurfs will not be a problem any longer from then on.

They will still be a problem, but Prime does help stem the problem.

there's nothing wrong with smurfs, they're not breaking any rules.

So cheat your wife is right because you are not "breaking any rules/law"? Same for jump the queue?

Learn from them rather than complaining.

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥ "learning excuse" again. Dude, nobody is supposed to learn ♥♥♥♥ while playing, we learn and evolve in the game only if WE WANT TO. Every Silver 1 has the right to stay a Silver 1 and don't be molested by ♥♥♥♥♥♥ smurfs (the CS:GO version of bullies). The integrity, honesty and fairness of the system are much more relevant, valuable than smurfs and their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ excuses.

smurf is basically a player from a higher tier than you lets say legendary eagle(E.x) who buys a silver account so he can play with lower players and destroy them

No it hasn't. This topic is still able to be talked about even today.

The worst is the guys who claim their "smurfing" but they are really hacking.

[delux]

Exactly, smurfing is just ruining the game for others

This post has at times been inactive for weeks and months, that's what I'm talking about. And when it seems like it's finally dead, someone comes over and posts again. lol. Not sure what else you wanna talk about here really. All of the points you could think of have already been said. And there's unfortunately nothing we players can do. I don't play much cs:go that much anymore, but I've heard of Prime matchmaking, that should solve it a bit shouldn't it?

IMO I think Volvo should increase the price of cs so that smurfs and cheaters will have a harder time buying it in their alt accounts.

you do know there are more reasons for someone being a smurf? so at this point you are just assuming which in turn makes you look more butthurt

OK let's see, perhaps you can shed light on why. I am open minded enough to listen to your reason. So let me make a list.

Reasons why to smurf
1. So they can play with "friends"
It's kind of hypocritical for them to tell other players to git gud, yet won't tell their friends the same thing so those "friends" can play with them on the smurfs level. So this leads the smurf to number 2.

2. Boosting player
Hmm all that boosting turns boosted players into players who want to derank later cause they can't handle their new rank. This creates greifing and not fair for the other players who do want to git gud, but can't cause they got derankers on their team playing agains a smurf on the other... Yes it can happen.

3. Just want to have fun.
There is another mode in CS... It's called CASUAL.... go have fun there. But it takes a person who most likely has some kind of social issues to want to ruin the fun for everyone else because "THEY" want to have fun. Out of 10 players in Comp, the only person having fun is the smurf. Their teammates may like the easy win, but won't get much elo if the smurd is stacking all the kills for himself. I imagine that would be boring to play if you never get to see action as a non smurf on a team with a smurf.

4. I am warming up before I play on my main.
Again... Casual Mode... If you have so many "friends" too, you can start a private match. I don't know, maybe you don't want to kill their elo? (I actually don't know if a private match counts as a real match with elo.)

5. Got a cooldown?
Though this may be rare, but it is a possiblity.

6. Have another account and are trying to rank up to regular rank.
OK this one, I can see as legit perhaps. You got a back up account but you are actually trying to rank up as best you can but got stuck in Siver, so you have to go through all the BS, but are being called on as a smurf, but it's not really your intention to dominate, you really do want to rank up past the lower ranks.

7. You got deranked since the update.
Lots of poeple got deranked BIG TIME. So this created smurfs in Silvers for former Gold Novas. This is not the fault of the player who is accused of being a smurf. Being deranked (not intentionally) sucks to begin with and those players are trying to rank back up. So the new update created new smurfs, the ones who didn't ask to be one.

8. Everyone gets salty.
Well perhaps the smurfs got butthurt on their own rank and got salty about it. Went to lower ranks to make himself feel better by trolling on lower ranks. Seriously, a good player with a good attitude does not need to smurf if he has enough confidence in himself and his playing. Who in their right mind would want to lower themselves to a level where they are literally shooting fish in a barrel.

9. They want to teach lower ranks
Sorry, can't learn much except to see how you destroyed the players. It doesn't matter your technique, skill and gameplay. If the person watches your video and doesnt' understand what you did still, it is pointless. I would say, learning from a smurf is very limited. If people want to learn, let them do it on their own accord. Let them watch globals vs global.

When kids learn to play hockey, they can learn from their coaches and their game a bit. But like my father who coached by brothers team in hockey, he would have him watch the NHL on Saturday night and show him what the pros do and don't do.


But it just shows that smurfs are also narcisstic. When they are called on about their smurfing, they will defend it to what ever ends with lame excuses and try to flip the accusation. They will try their damndest to make it seem like it is the other players fault, and not theirs.


I can't think of any more points at the moment. But feel free to add why people may smurf. As I said, I am open minded enough to listen to reason.

Totally agree.

The only thing IU really have to add is with regards to the "Got a COoldown - there's nothing wrong with playing on another account when one is on a cooldown, since this should result in aeither the account being grouped with the same or at least very close skill group - or, if too long betyween uses of the account, will not disaplay a skill group. (But the sstatistics so far acquired will still be used to place in approximate matchmaking, just not as accurately)
So this will not impact in any way as those who purposefully maintain a LOWER skill group than they are usually and consistently fully capable of.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For some reason, the SMurfs that play intentionally at lower skill groups neglect to consider that the matchymaking system (i.e. the skill groups) are there for a reason in macthing players at those groups. They are exploiting and abusing that system for their own personal benefit. Whatever they may try to excuse this with, does not justify it.

I have yet to hear of one excuse for these 'smurfs' that is truly justified.
