Ok, Blizzard you nned to fix this right now, your game is unplayable in the mid gold to mid plat range. I know what the problem is and that is the fact you only care about making money just like epic games when it comes to fortnite. If you would accualy care about overwatch then you would have made smurfing in comp bannabable. I have now officially lost 100 games (almost in a row) just to smurfs thank you blizzard for caring so much about this and not just make money. I hope you accualy listen to this and will do your best to fix it. I am so tired of meeting smurfs in every match and losing so much sr, please fix this or i will do play some games that the devs accualy care about.
Not allowing players to have more then 1 account isnt the problem.
Even with only one account i could derank myself over and over again just to be able to make lots of kills.
Problem is it is a group based game with hard counters. It should be easy to kill a solo very good player who tries to do 1 vs 6 even for low rank players. Problem is in low ranks everyone tries to do 1vs6 (even when they aren’t that skill) and play it like QP. So for a good player the low ranks can be easily farmed.
So the problem is that players aren’t learned to play as a team. The whole QP mode is a mode players are learned to play it like a solo based game. With no team play. Most players in low rank don’t even know how to play with/around a main tank. And never do team fights (in low rank it is a constant battle of 1vsX fights with no regrouping etc…)
In a team based game in overwatch there shouldn’t be even a rank restriction.
A gold should be able to play with his master ranked friend. As long the team rating is the same, it shouldn’t matter. Low rank and new players would learn the game from higher ranks.
so pros:
- No more 30 minutes queue times for top 500 players.
- players will learn to game from better players
- Smurfing/boosting/Deranking will be useless
- players dont have to buy another account (and on purpose keep it low) just to play with friends.
- even low rank players can be grouped with or against famous top 500 ranked players. (never wanted to play a game with or against someone like Valkia or Kephrii ?)
- More low rank/ new players will want to try to master a tank or support role instead of dps: lots of players mostly only see gameplay of a 6th kill of a good dps. If you are grouped with a very good tank/healer players would see more the value of these rolls. And at the moment in the lower ranks playing a tank or healer is kind of useless(no fun) because there are no team fights.
cons:
- you maybe sometimes get grouped against a good widow/genji main while your good player(s) cant play the heroes to counter him. And dont communicate so your team can adjust the setup to counter it.
I mean that if someone is smurfing i can report them so their account get banned.
And also if let’s say the enemy has a gm smurf that is playing with 5 gold players in a gold game, they will have the advantage due to the fact that they technically have more total skill on their team since my team is only gold ranked.
Why would anyone de-rank on purpose, if the level of opponents is always different. And there isn’t a rank restriction anymore. So you can play with all your friends even the low level ones. And queue times are low even for the higher ranks? The chance that you only play against all low ranks who don’t know how to play as a team is very low. And even the low ranks will start to learn how to play as a team, because they will become tutored by higher ranks (also running in 1vs 6 vs a team where most are playing together(and some higher ranks) will just get them killed instantly, over and over again without they get a chance to do damage)
Especially if they introduce a system like: the highest SR can determine team comp and chose first slot. 2nd highest second slot etc… in solo queue (next to a new 6 stack only comp system)
And how would you know if someone is smurfing? I am only high gold/plat but on my main
(pharah) i got very good stats that is more high plat/diamond. But i cant play my main often. But when i play it, i most of the time carry the game. And are often accused of smurfing or cheating.
Players cant see if you are smurfing or cheating(most of the time -> some lucky flick shots in a death cam could just be luck)
So you try to ban people who will be mostly innocent, just because they played good or got lucky?
Everyone thinks that smurfs they counter and destroyed their whole teams are from GM LOL dkm a proper diamond or master are more than good enough to make your game like hell, the problem with smurfing will never be fixed and the whole point of this is to make more money. Why would they do instant ban and burn their money LOL
Oh yay… another ‘fix competitive mode’ thread.
Great

I assume you are smurfin lol
You assume dead wrong, my friend
We just need separate queues for comp, solo and groups.
Since Blizzard won’t lose any money from banning smurfs (if they are reported) they will probably just earn a little less tbh. And that’s what they need to do to fix comp.
And Applepip are you going to tell me your opinion or are you just here to camplain about this post
Well you’ll get smurfs on your team?
Just here to complain about the post! I was feeling grouchy and a bit sick of seeing the same topics appear over and over again and nothing gets done.
I hope Blizzard see you and take notice, but I doubt it. Hasn’t Jeff made a statement on smurfing saying it isn’t a problem in Overwatch? I am not saying it’s not a problem, I think it is and it has had an impact on my decision NOT to play competitive
Then state it, dont just tell everyone you know it.
Lets see. 100 games eh? Lets say your exaggerating and you only lost 50 in a row. That means you were a masters before? I highly doubt so. And to speak of the 100 you would had been the highest rated player in the game 
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yet another gold player who “lost 100 games in a row due to Smurfs”
they can’t do anything about smurfs.
There is technically no way for blizzard to know who is who behind an account.
Boosted by the system goes to actual rank * must be smurfs in 100 games ayyyy
