I can’t be bothered to click on your profile, but I’m assuming you’ve never played on console before.
I had 17 alt accounts/smurfs/throwing accounts in my DPS placements alone at the end of last season. It ruins the game. The only reason I made so many alts is because I was sick of my time being wasted and matched being ruined so I just figured I’d practice a hero for each thing, sure I maybe a bronze genji that gets auto placed into gold/plat, but they don’t care about the 100s of players matches I’ll ruin by being trash at genji as I drop down to bronze lol.
