You are litteraly driving your own game into the ground with all these smurf accounts

Seriously, do something with all these fake, secondary accounts.
i’m getting tired of never having a balanced round in both qp & comp, as there’s always at least one smurf on either team that’s making such a massive difference in skill.
It’s been over a year now and it’s getting worse on a monthly basis.

I understand you like to poach about your inflated playerbase considering 50% of the playerbase is just a second account, but it’s sucking the fun out of everything.
Hell even top streamers make it a weekly thing to ‘climb from bronze/placements to top500’, obviously at the expense of normal players who just want to play some enjoyable rounds.
I just don’t get it, we know you like the money, but is it really worth making your game appear completely out of balance to anyone trying to get into it, and to people who aren’t total douchebags needing to make a second account to play different characters at the expense of others?
Ugh, getting so tired of this, i love this game, i truelly do, but you are making it extremely hard to stick around.

Is it really that difficult to implement an algorithm into the game that detects another account on the same ip (yes, i know you can change ip’s, but it should stop the majority) and have them play against eachother rather than smack the living daylight out of players who are ranked far lower?

I have noticed a recent surge in smurfs. Not sure if it’s because of a * cough * certain * cough * * STUNNED * Her- * STUNNED * * WHIPPED WITH POOL NOODLE * hero.
I think it’s because of Brigitte being so easy to play in the higher ranks compared to other heroes.

Smurf are a huge source of money, and I doubt blizzard will give that up. Also, I’m not seeing too many smurfs this season, and I’m silver.
