I am not a smurf, but I am called one and reported sometimes

Maybe less people than you think are smurfs, but actually trapped players?

This is what you’ll face in Silver

According to MMR, I am a certified Silver Widow of over half a dozen comp seasons. My original S1 placement is my highest rank, I’ve never been back to Gold since the beginning of OW.

I am, by every definition, a Silver ranked Widowmaker. I’ve bounced between 1500-1990 more times than I can count. I am a wonderful representation of the sniper skill naturally found in this rank.

My question is: how does this actually compare to Gold, Plat, Dia, etc Widowmakers?

(note: i dont clip comp as im trying to win and not making my shots hard on purpose or high as fk like I am in every one of those clips)

edit tho: can I get these posted in thread <3 cause people are less likely to just put the URL together repeatedly…

I call someone a smurf when they have an account level of a new account, but are playing like they’ve been playing for months or even years. With an account level of 300+ I’d not call you a smurf, unless I saw you hitting all your shots and playing well above the skill level. Which it doesn’t look like you are.
