Rename the game to Smurf Topia

Give smurfs their own low lvl area to play. I don’t want to fight them in QP or ranked.
I know it is the only source of money atm for overwatch (new accounts) but you are pushing away your player base.

Why are there 89 quadrillion Widow/Hanzo pro level 14s in every game in history ruining the match for everyone

I mean he is kinda right tho. Nowdays theres only been smurfs/people playing on their main accs cause ow doesnt get so many new players anymore.

As an example, I tried to play ranked last night & there was 2-3 smurfs per game with their low level accs & they were clearly better than what new players are.
Also nowdays players always are making new alts/smurfs that you barely see any new players. I can quarantee that almost every old player has about 2-4/5 smurfs/alts by now.

And I didnt saw, that he said ‘‘everyone’’ is better than him btw. Its just how smurfs are annoying & unfun to play with/against on this game.

Has a ring to it though i swear?

“Smurftopia”

Agreed, Smurfs are a scapegoat excuse

i have 4 accounts because i got them for cheap. The guy is not joking with how many smurfs there is in the game. i once got queued in a game of levels 25s to level 30s in 2800 in a comp game xDDDD.

Alts =/= Smurfs

2 of the accounts are in silver or really low gold and i play around 3400 games. the other 2 gave for friends who couldnt buy the game it is fully their account. the 2 accounts i mentioned are smurfs basically btw.

Why are they there, lend me some context

Smurfing is intentionally putting yourself in a low rank like bronze or silver just so you can trounce on them with your far superior skills

Just playing against someone better than you in a middleish rank on an alt account isn’t smurfing

played heroes i wanted to learn ( basically at my rank i cant play) and i dont really play on them much. I get on occasionally and ummmm lets just say the enemy team hates me.

this did not happen on an alt account this was on my main.

i disagree smurfing is when u are in a rank you dont belong in that is way too bad for ur game rank standards like being a high diamond in low gold or silver

So you don’t have an advantage as you’re intentionally handicapping your own performance by picking heroes you wanted to learn and the system placing you accordingly.

That’s still not smurfing, even if the enemy team hates a low level performing at their rank tier. You are playing at their rank fairly.

If you belong in diamond then just playing will normally get you to diamond

If you’re intentionally throwing or whatever to stay in silver then you’re smurfing and that’s bad

If you’re playing in gold on an alt account and still in gold that just means you’re a gold player on that hero

i am bad at tracer on 3200+ games. on the 2 accounts i play on i m not even handicapped at all.

That title belongs to Dota.

i came into the game and i could wreck some people…the game isnt rocket science,anyone can play this arcade style shooter.

That’s the point, you’re a Silver/Gold tracer, therefore you’re getting matched up with Silver/Gold players. If you decided to run your main at that rank and throw in order to stay at that rank to stomp with your main, that would be smurfing.

You don’t get to just make up your own definitions because it helps make your case, it doesn’t work that way.

Can i point out you guys are trying to explain to me what a smurf is. and not trying to tell me why you think smurfs is a scape goat excuse. My first post was to say the game is usually cheap and smurfs are there like alot of them. (i myself dont care anymore about smurfs i just try my hardest, we won gg we beat a smurf. we lost gg they had smurf we tried our best)
