Is Smurfing a violation/reportable?

[Kaedi-11739]

Hey everyone, Jeff Kaplan has just responded to this question in the general discussion forums:

@JeffreyKaplan

Starting a new account is not against the rules. Boosting or throwing is against the rules.

If you start a new account and play normally, the matchmaker determines your skill level very quickly and matches you with similar players.

@Kaedi-11739

A great update to this thanks. Can you please provide any tips or advice on how players should recognize and report players they believe to be boosting?

@JeffreyKaplan

We don’t actually need this behavior reported. We have a whole crew here doing some pretty significant analysis to determine this behavior.
