Banning All Smurf Accounts
Because frankly I'm getting sick and tired of encountering them. But there's more here. I'll leave the griping to the end.
There is no logical reason for a smurf account in this game, especially in ranked or especially for ranked. This isn't an MMO like WoW or SWToR where having multiple characters makes sense. Storyline, playstyle, items, different things like that.
However in a game like this there is no reason to have a smurf account. All people with smurfs end up doing is deliberately playing in bronze to "test out new things". Who cares? All they do is keep other players who are trying to get out of bronze there because people in bronze can't compete on that level. "But i'm trying something new." Yeah no you aren't. Because you are higher elo than bronze players, you will do better than them even if you are trying something new.
Especially duos. In my play today I've encountered no less than 5 people who say they were smurfs, and given how they played I really don't see a reason to doubt them.
If you want to try something new, then play normals don't play ranked. "But i have to do in a competitive area". Yeah then do it on your level with some practice first in normals. I also just call bs to that shit anyway. I don't even think that smurfs realize that they actually hurt people, nor do I think they care. "It's all about me. I don't care about other players, my time is more important than yours." Well if you are thinking like that, then you need to rethink why you are doing it. Your time isn't more valuable than someone else's. Not to mention that you are punishing the other team. Even if your team is a train wreck, your team will be the wreck that crashes into the other team and wreck them while you all somehow make it out alive.
Smurfs are just a thing that rito needs to make illegal or if they allow them, then normal games only. So do someone a favor if you want to try something new, play a normal game.
Edit: Since there is some confusion, let me make my point clear. NO ONE NO MATTER THE ELO should have a smurf. I used high level elo players having a low elo account because it does happen and happens often. It was an example, but some people cannot seem to grasp this concept.
