What it's like smurfing

So I never intentionally smurf I just had like an old ancient account from ow1 that I didn’t touch until recently im a console player so we just have a bunch of random accounts like around sometimes Family members and this and that.

So you might have expected my thought process to be something like this is impossible, or X player on my team is bad and etc… the only thing I could think was

“Why do all of yall move so damn slow”

Best advice I could give for climbing out the lower ranks? Tbh act like you know what the hell your doing.

You know what your damn buttons do stop “acting” like you don’t.

Yeah there’s stuff like reading cool downs and positioning and etc etc.

Stop hesitating, stop twinkle footing around, you’re in a “Comp” game okay move it.

That’s the best advice I can give for a low rank just from like my experince temporarily being there by accident.

Like when im low ranks as Lifeweaver my first reaction is to just kill everyone in sight tbh, but yeah know obviously its more complicated then that and I don’t wanna give anyone super bad advice.

But if you “Act” like you know what you’re doing bare minimum no one will be aware that you don’t.

Now yes sometimes teammates are just absolutely umbarable but it shouldn’t be THAT often to where there movement and gameplay is the equivalent of throwing themselves off the map all game.

It’s true; I’ve been playing a lot more confidently since that time I was given all the advice, and my WR on Weaver is now 60% (it even went up to 61% for a second). I’m slowly, steadily on my way up. Hoping to reach gold before the season ends, just to say I did it

No more wasting my tree towards the end of the map, no more “I’d better be careful or else I might die”. I’ve blocked the spawn door at the end of King’s Row in comp like twice now, including once today. Just flew in and went for it. Boom. That will be all. Round over :clap:

What like part of silver are you at exactly anyways? Like silver 2?

I play qp and blizzard gives me official smurfing games

I was teetering between Silver 3 and 2 (mostly 2) when I was seeking help, but now I’m back to Silver 1, which is where I had originally placed. There really isn’t too far to go at this rate, thankfully

If I wanted to smurf in QP I just turn my coms on… games become 1 sided real quick with a shot caller.

I ranked my pc account for dps right when I switched from xbox. Got placed s5 I think. Played again s9 after playing endless qp for like 6 seasons. Ended up hitting a high of 80% winrate, not a single calibration. Don’t play comp dps, because I loathe smurfs.
