It is very difficult to actually win a game in blind if you are actually a new player like me. It does make me almost want to quit this game because the current learning curve is so bad. There are so many smurfs on new accounts that they are leveling or something. Why are there so many smurfs?
everyone had the same experience as you. you're not the only "victim". The rest of us actually played until we could play against them
What I did for the biggest phase of leveling up was teaming with my high-ranking friends as much as possible. Assuming you can do that, it's difficult but builds your skill so well to the point that I was accused of being a smurf on countless occasions due to how experienced at the game I had become in such a short amount of time. Actual smurfs didn't bother me because they were degrading their skill by playing in games below their level or didn't show up in the Gold+ games I was playing.
I am learning and leveling and only one player so far said they were a smurf. I guess you must have a unique problem.
