And you can’t expect to deserve to win games if you can’t beat one character who has a slightly lower skill floor than yours.

Gorl, you should be back in masters. Someone needs to re-enroll in the Stevoo Sym university.
I had a very unlucky streak and in all my losses there was an enemy Widow / McCree smurf abusing us, so I’m justifiably salty. IDC

Sounds like literally every single Masters/GM game since Mccree’s last buff.

Wrong but okay.
Get ready for a bunch of dudebros to come out of the woodwork and insist that there’s absolutely nothing to be done about smurfs, it isn’t even a problem ~ because heaven forbid you want to just… Play the game with people at your own skill level. That’s asking far too much!
You know what baffles me is that I can’t tell if the dudebros just like stirring the pot, or if they genuinely just don’t understand that their ignoring this problem will be one of the nails in the game’s coffin. Maybe they don’t care much about the game, I guess, but - I like it, I wish it was better.

Deep down inside they know what they’re doing is wrong but they won’t verbalize it because then it makes it real.
Anytime I ask a streamer why they smurf they kind of go blank and don’t have a good reason.

Blizzard likes short-term gains. Meanwhile, in reality, that can lead to long-term downtrends in player activity retention. Too bad they can’t see that.

Fine, fine. I’ll admit the like 19 exceptions out of tens of thousands of matches.
McCree’s winrate is still meh. The one week without him (and 5 other hitscan heroes) really makes the pickrate stats look funny, but his winrate stats are still on point. He’s still not a “dominating force” in GM on average.
Does it really give them an advantage though? And is it unfair? Is being a better player unfair? No. Is being at a lower rank than your main account an advantage? Not really, because you will still plateau at your main account’s peak eventually. You can call smurfing immoral if you want, but it definitely isn’t cheating.
edit: grammar
This weekend for me has been an absolutely massive swarm of smurf accounts. Every game today has had at least 1, and up to 4 accounts below level 50. It makes game just so horrendously unbalanced and most games have just been completely one sided stomps because of it. Not much fun no matter which side of the stomp I’m on.

Read the reply. The next sentence recognizes that. “You can call smurfing immoral if you want, but it definitely isn’t cheating.”
