This is getting old, either queuing up for a game just to have it end instantly or getting smash and someone BMing the entire time just look in their match history and they are 6 times masters and 0:00 game time for their last 8 games. This is out of hand and at the point that this is Blizzards fault. Do something about it or just shut the damn game down.
All they have to do is implement a check into the game that checks for queue dodging, which they have in heros of the storm, so they know how to do it.
The game will sooner shut down than fix that problem. In fact, smurfing has always been encouraged, even during the peak of this game.
Easy fix for Blizz, just allow only one account on ladder per person. I’m sure they could do this.
the more you face smurfs the better you get.
Oh yeah? How do you figure they can enforce that?
How do you figure they enforce anyone not getting years worth of free trials?
your really dumb so just shut up already.
The answer is credit card info.
wow, that really shows how dumb you are, like really dude, did you stop to think about how many people can buy gift cards and all that crap to make as many accounts as they want. Like wow dude really you need to stop posting, everytime you do we see how much dumber you really are.
Lmao speak for yourself.
How do you propose people verse each other? Through cans and string? Lmao
It’s so embarrassing that I even have to explain this. Education isn’t free.
So if I buy a friend a copy of Starcraft, theyre reliant entirely on me not getting banned, or playing at the same time as they are, unless I happen to have the foresight to use a visa, in which case the security measures are entirely defeated?
Maybe think that one through a little more mate.
Not really, considering sc is free, the ranked online portion could be gated to allow only specific accounts in.
I think that linking your credit card to your account is only one step, there are others, like facial recognition.
Nobody is buying a webcam specifically to log into Starcraft.
We are living in a modern age. Everyone has a phone they could use for verification, at least.
Thats not actually true, and its an incredibly unreasonable burden to require people to have a completely disconnected device to play a free to play game just to restrict smurfing.
Who cares? If it’s only for ranked ladder, it really isn’t a big deal.
You mean the main draw for half or more of the playerbase? Sure, not a big deal at all, its only the point of the game.
Get real dude, the only people complaining would be smurfers.
Right, because making it more annoying to play a game has never, ever, bothered anybody ever.
You can literally be done in a few clicks.
