“I never make mistakes. I always play perfectly. I would be top500 if it weren’t for x, y and z.”
Said by all delusional players who won’t improve themselves.
Yeah it can’t be these reasons at all that I keep getting:
-
Leavers. I get wayyy more leavers than leavers on the other team. I am talking a lot which results all in SR loss.
-
2 dive tanks (especially on maps like Hanamura and Temple of Anubis where you really could use a shield tank. I rarely get a Rein or other actual shield tank.
-
DPS heals. Many times I will sit there in front of Ana with low health and she ignores me and seems to be focusing on attacking the enemy and even chasing them.
But yeah. All my fault I keep getting teams like this and carry.
I love when people make threads like this. Must be nice to not really get things like a lot of us get quite often.
If you offer to pocket me as Mercy, I’ll also lie and tell you I’m a smurf. They’re not a big problem.
But you don’t. You get the things you complain about LESS OFTEN on your team than the other team. Why? Because there are 5 people who can do those things on your team, and 6 who can do them on the other team (because I assume you don’t do them yourself). You just don’t NOTICE when they happen on the other team. But you BENEFIT from everything you’re complaining about, and you are at a HIGHER rank because of them.

I don’t think anyone truly at their rank would want a pocket Mercy unless they’re a Pharah. I mean, I’d love to have heals and damage boost when appropriate, but I know that it’s be more beneficial if Mercy tried helping everyone rather than just one person.
The self-proclaimed smurfs I’ve pocketed seem to have been genuine. Their aim and sense is definitely at a higher level than the rank they’re at from what I’ve seen in the replay system from their perspective.
I strongly disagree. I’ve played thousands of competitive games and very rarely see someone obviously smurfing. I have accounts from low gold to high plat, so I see about 60% of the player base.
Latency is an excuse
Well start a thread or two! Maybe it’ll start #TRENDING!
Hell, I’ll back you up with posts on a few alt accounts to try to overtake these pathetic “matchmaking is rigged” lunacy threads.

Well…I know it’s your opinion and all, but I do see a parallel between the perception of smurf populations and cheaters. Most players whom I’ve accused of hacking write off their performance as smurfing, and other players in the match (including team mates) are far more likely to say I’m just being salty for getting outplayed. I’ve not only submitted ingame reports for cheating, but also replay video footage to hacks@blizzard.com and got email confirmations that action has been taken against someone I reported for cheating. One time, I even got two of those new green “Thank you for your report” ingame messages at login meant to confirm that a player was actioned for cheating.
My point is, I think there are more smurfs out there than you may realize just as there are more cheaters in OW than what most players may believe. It’s pretty common to go through the “Looking for group” list and find group titles mentioning rank boosting, smurfs looking to further derank in comp, and pocket Mercy services for a smurf. I get that there are genuinely new bronze border players coming from console, but I do believe that many of the high performing bronze border accounts are smurfs that got tired of having to play good in top ranks so they bought alt-accounts in bulk just to stomp on lesser skilled players for thrills.
If there are 1,000,000 players, you are claiming to see 600,000 players. That is quite a lot of games to play, like around 50,000 games roughly. When do you find the time?
Just some light-hearted fun here. Here’s to winning your next match.
Really gotta remind me about the zen lore 
Rigged doesn’t necessarily mean the outcome is guaranteed. Maybe YOU should look up the definition.
