Completely coincidental, but feel free to let your imagination run wild.

Fresh Accounts aka Smurfs/Griefers (derankers, and try hards), Hard Throwers, OneTrick Alt Accounts “Insert Name Only” character, and other new accounts that don’t care to win in comp or play in a low rank to have “less stressful games”: Fair you say?? HahA!!

That’s less to do with them not caring about racism, and more to do with them not caring about consoles.

please blizzard dev, admins, powers that be or whatever you are go do a permanent mac address ban for all folks running smurf accounts…force them to purchase a whole new system if they wanna keep playing to grief other players who are trying to have a fun, fair match.

This made 20k “smurfs”.
Also, smurfs are often just cheaters. They look natural if you don’t know.

can u guys stop the rigging while ur at it? no more patents just let us play
reset it all, ship us randomly, and let 1-off per-match merit decide who goes up
cheeres btw u guys r doing rlygudjob
That doesn’t really solve much, if anything, mac addresses can be spoofed and faked, much like IP/DNS, it would just be delaying the inevitable.

Good but how many matches have been already ruined by those accounts?
Not to mention those accounts have already served their purpose anyway due to new accounts being used only for smurfing and then thrown away.

Keep in mind that cheats for Valorant still exist. Rootkit anticheat is intrusive, prone to causing stability issues for the underlying OS and/or other applications and still is not guarranteed to stop cheating. It’s not a good solution.

ah god damn it, nevermind. I thought this post was about finally making a HWID bans or some other system that can track people who just buy a new 5 dollar account after every next ban wave, but seems this day will never come.
Nothing’s gonna change then.

I love how the numbers are so, specific.
24000, and 3. 18000 and 3.
Glad they are gone.

What in the world makes you think any system that relies on the client identifying itself accurately would even work?
A good portion of these hacks even included HWID spoofers.
There is no system that can ban individuals. Only accounts can be banned.
What about smurfs and handicapping matchmaking? Any comment?
