I am going to throw this out here - people who have only one account will naturally be more careful how they play so they don’t accumulate suspensions/warnings. A suspension means you are barred from the entire game and this suspension can increase up to a permanent ban.
A smurf doesn’t care about this and why should they? Multiple accounts give them the freedom to do whatever they want and even the most severe punishment will do nothing to stop them from playing the game.
If more people are afraid of the system that means a general decrease of throwing, leaving and other negative behavior.
This is something that cant be argued unless you want to present all smurfs as angels who try their best to play at their ELO and never do anything to ruin games.
So does this mean your a smurf because you pretty much one trick hog and dont care about your team?
Also according to your posts you have really negative behavior in game.
Also can you like stop making one anti smurf topic each day? Would be really nice.
Well i have more than 2 accounts. And on all my accounts, i have a total of 0 reports, 0 actions against my accounts, never had any bans or else.
I play since alpha and i don’t know why it is so hard to not be a complete rude person and be nice to your team. Its not hard. It’s harder to tell them he sucks than just stay silent.
Also on each account I always give my best. I just wanted clean stats. So i have 2 accounts in mid gold and one in mid plat. And i can’t be as the game puts my main account in bronze, later silver, back bronze, silver, gold, gold, silver. And each time i can play myself easily out into high gold. Idk why blizzard keeps putting me into bronze. Now at least they realize i’m maybe better than that and put me into plat. What can UI do when i give 100% and thex put me bronze where I destroy them… Its not my fault. And just to be said: i want alway to reach dia or higher. So don’t tell me I’m playing bad on purpose. I dont even play ranked when I ‘m not feeling like : i’ m hitting each shot (e.g. As widow mccree)

Less smurfs= less money, so they will never fix it

Because you can’t fix it. Even less on console, they don’t have any control over that system.
I know they’ll never fix it, I am simply pointing this little fact to the smurf defenders.
But it really isn’t the smurfs, yeah sometimes it is frustrating and shouldn’t be, but throwing is much worse, bc you destroy the only options for your team to win. A smurf could be dealt with by the team. Harder if you have a thrower. You can’t really stop them from throwing. But you could stop a smurf from killing everyone. Especially with brig. Released, theres no tracer free-win-window if you know she’s smurfing, hard counter her.
Bad behaviour ingame is a problem of its own,
Smurfs are not, if a diamond player wants to come down play in silver with me and the other beerleagers down here that is just lovely I’ ll probably learn from them.
If he plays right he ll reach diamond before I even make my way to gold.
If he plays like a plough he’s not worse than half the player base in silver so what, he belongs here as much as scrubs like me… only for different reasons.
If he throws or afk or whatever else infringing with the ROCs then report him smurf or not
It is that simple.
As for smurfs in platinum and above just LOL there is little ground calling anyone playing in a game above 2500 SR a smurf they are not really breaking the game balance. Everyone here is supposed to be able to play properly or very close to properly.
I personally only got a smurf to see if I could get a better rank, because I felt I was stuck and didn’t deserved it (funny enough I actually got 2 ranks above xD).
While a part of the smurfs are like you said, even maybe the majority. They will be punished anyways if they behave bad.
With the 2 New Features on the PTR we don’t need to worry about those problems nearly has much. I also hope we get more often matched with people with similar endorsement level. So if you are a nice person in Overwatch you will be rewarded with other nice teammates.
Smurfs pay money to get a copy so blizzard oversees this issue. gg
I have 2 accounts. So I can understand that. I also wanna play with my girl.
But why more?
Other names, clean stats. And as I started in bronze, now platinum, i wanted again to check if I can go higher than gold. And as I don’t play comp if I don’t feel like I’m in god mode, i have so many bad/fake qp stats, that i wanted a new update.
Main tracer accuracy: 21%
2. Acc tracer accuracy: 38%
Its just the first acc was my first pc fps game so Learning from scratch.
To be fair, i just like the idea of having a account with a funny name. Ane I only purchased during anniversary so i payed always only 20$
