How is being placed on a rank which is the “HIGHEST POSSIBLE RANK” that can be acheived after your placement in a fresh new account, considered “SMURFING”.
The game has been out for almost 3 years and majority of the people here who are lacking even the simplest of Game Knowledge, complaining about this recent stream of DAFRAN is quite frankly depressing.
How is being placed on the 1st ranked game ever in the account with a silver player, smurfing??? whats next?? Dont buy new accounts if you are higher than silver?
And, then comes the people complaining about “DOUBLE STANDARD”, 100% of them will stop replying when asked to show one proof of people having double standard here on forum.
In the first half of the placements he was placed with silver and gold. This happens every single time if someone with 1000 hours of experience buys a new account.
Unpopular opinion but everyone who does this especially popular streamers like Dafran deserves to be permabanned ASAP.
Like, there’s multiple sides to smurfing right, and two of them are people that just bought an account and are looking for their own skill rating, and people who just smurf for smurfing playing games on a troll account. When people buy new accounts they have no choice but to play in the ranks blizzard gives them. But they often leave those ranks very quickly. (Jeff mentioned it, which is true, but he also said smurfing wasn’t an issue because of their fool proof system)
You actually can’t. Most top 500 players when tryharding every game on a new account can barely place in master. I had a friend a couple of seasons ago who is a genji/tracer player who’s maintained like 4550 for I think 4 or 5 seasons straight (he’s like 12 and he’s literally insane) and was only able to place his alt at 3800, after having hard carried EVERY quickplay game and EVERY placement game on that account. Master is around the limit for new accounts, and that too you need to convince the game you are literally Jesus Christ himself.
Well dafran didnt do that did he??? so why u bringing his name up?
And, i am pretty sure “EVERY” single streamer who ever did a ranking up series from “BRONZE” have had their account banned.
Honestly, when people flat out buy new accounts just to rank them up again, it’s… well, let’s say that I’m starting to wonder why there’s even a ranking system in the first place.
Banned for what? Making a new account and being better than you? You do realize even the nicest guys who have never thrown a single match (Emongg) have 5+ accounts in GM, right? There’s only one legal way to do that.
Then he deserves a ban as well. We are talking about the pro gamers and popular streamers. The role models of the community. Is this a good example for the community to buy your 5th account and do bronze to GM on all of them purposely ruining the other ranks for cheap entertainment?
Again, there is no rule against buying a new account and trying your hardest, so no, they shouldn’t be banned. If everyone got banned for being better than you, then you would spend all of your time fighting the AI.
Someone is buying OW for the first time and after a month of training and practice hes doing the placements. Hes being placed against someone who is a GM on his main account. Has at least 2000 hours in the game and 5 other alt accounts. The new gamers team gets steamrolled by the alt account.
Its not about being better. Its about caring the community you are a part of.
That’s no different than running into someone with FPS experience who’s naturally good at the game. I placed Plat and finished Diamond within 3 weeks of starting the game. My friends who brought me in were Silver every season. When we queued together, I dominated their games. I still had less playtime than them. Should I be banned for “ruining games” because I want to play with my friends?
Lmfao from what? Playing the game or beeing better than you?
Why you hate Dafran dude… He havent done nothing wrong that you could possible hate him this much…
Also asking you a question so if I/everyone else who does it too should they get permabanned too after some random nobody cries about it?
And random question for fun, how you think youre gonna get better or rank up if you cant win games where players are better than you or go top500 with your attitude?
