Basically overarching is an exceptionally easy game to throw in and make your teammates lose.
The performance bonus doesn’t stop people from dropping much so people constantly move down to ranks way beneath them entirely due to throwing and afking.
Lost like 4 in a row due to afks one day last week.
Mm then placed me in games 300+down because it is confused as to why i am losing.
Stomped my way back up.
Afterwards i see one player ina game like 50 percent better than the rest of us and wonder did he also fall easy below where he belongs because people threw games he could have carried just because they were mad.
The highest I’ve ever placed a new account is low diamond. I physically cannot place the account at an appropriate rank. To blame the player in that situation is stupid at best.
There are nothing but smurf accounts in bronze anymore. Nobody’s bought a brand new account for the first time on this game in YEARS.

I think MM has issues. I think a lot of issues would go away if everybody only ever played on one total account. Every time a player starts a new account and climbs up, they upset the balance. If they are really good and carrying a team then that team is possibly winning games that they maybe shouldn’t be winning, and vice versa a team could possibly be losing games that they should be actually winning.
MM has issues, and multiple accounts smurfs or not and MM thinking everyone should start out in gold/plat is a big part of ruining comp to me.
Because climbing is hard and time consuming so it takes time, weeks if you dont play enough. But i was talking about smurfs who went to gold on purpose or people who werent higher before. If your peak is masters and you are stuck in gold after you dropped there (not on purpose) you were clearly boosted. Can you screenshot your master peak?

Or someone’s having a good day and there isn’t any conspiracy.
Matchmaking finds your average skill level. If you’re inconsistent, then your highs are going to seem out of place in your rank. Not to mention, your lows are going to be absolute trash, which is also why people think “how can this person be the same rank as me? Matchmaker has to be rigged.”

Most of the time in my experiences these smurfs either use the games to warm up or are there for more relaxed games by comparison and don’t play their mains. You don’t need to be top 500 to smurf, you just need to intentionally put yourself in a lower rank from where your normally are.
Golds can smurf in Bronze even Silver. It doesn’t really matter where they come from but they are in 1/5 games guarnteed. The concept of them having to be below lvl 30 and 1V6 a team to be a smurf is entirely invalid and often what the hidden smurfs use to make the claim that the issue isn’t as large as it really is.
In addition not every smurf is on DPS either. They also go to support and play DPS ana. Or tank and troll around on ball/hog.

That’s also another issue, even pro players cannot seem to take a fresh account and place Masters+. They will get the account to GM swiftly sure, but the placements barricade them below Masters constantly.

They ain’t diamond or master unless u talkin bout te smurfs, there are a lot of ppl with gr8 aim in gold and Plat(dat may actually belong there) but lack positioning, game sense, cool head, ability management to provide enough value through the course of many games to rank up
