How is Smurfing not a bannable offense?

LMAO “opinion”.
whats next? earth is round is just opinion? samuel jackson is black, another opinion?

Jeff says it’s “not a problem” because smurfs “quick get to their real elo” except when they don’t.

I have several GM friends and they have DOZENS of decayed diamond, plat, and gold smurfs that they play because their high elo gets stressful and they enjoy stomping pubbies. Leave a few games for your friends you’re queueing with to dodge bad maps and ez done. Throw games because you’re playing Torb with only his right click. Wee! Smurfs!

It’s such a bad argument to say smurfs don’t really matter.

Smurfing should be bannable because this is competitive. The very nature of competition is meant to be honorable. Two sides, both granted the same opportunity. You don’t put the minor league against the major league. You don’t put NBA players against college players. You don’t put heavyweights against featherweights. To do so in an actual competitive environment would be seen as petty. It would be booed. People would rally against it. It breaks the entire nature of human competition and all that it entails.

Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves for not ruling this kind of thing with an absolute iron fist. Players who behave in such a way should be banned not only on that account, but on all of their accounts. Blizzard should pull bureau data about these individuals and should ban that data from creating a new account in the future so that these people can never play Overwatch again, and if they get around it by using another individual’s data, then they run the risk of getting that person banned for life.

There should be a zero tolerance stance on this. There is no excuse. Anything less than this is cowardly, weak, and pathetic.

Bad people should be punished, severely. There is no alternative. To not do so is weakness. It’s apathy. It’s unjust, and it’s sinister.

Not one bit. One holds M1 and presses a button every few seconds, the other is beyond that
