Ok I'm not trying to make excuses and im still bad, but I decided to go back to comp. Played five games and 3 out of that 5 there was a smurf. One of them was "I miss her" another "SuicideAwareness" and then this other one called "she was mine". Those three dropped about 40 to 30 frags and about 9 deaths on each game.

You learn by beating someone maybe 1 division or one rank above you but nothing against someone who is far higher than you.

[@khangtran1401]

If the case is csgo then yes you can learn even from high elo smurf. Because cs has replay demo and you can check the smurf's pov

[@awakenedcodex3766]

@@khangtran1401 No you still don't learn a thing from it. Because that smurf won't play the same he would in his own elo, because he doesn't have to, he can do reckless decisions that are unforgivable at their original elo and still win. So if anything, you open yourself up to risking developing bad habits.

Eventually you learn. I've played against many many smurfs and it has improved me. 1 thing I learnt is "if you can't out-aim them, outsmart them". Pick up on their patterns and punish them with a weird play, use a weird gun or use util to punish someone who repeats the same plays with flashes, sniper, bucky corner camping or even ares wallbang. You may not get a positive k/d against them but it helps a lot to do something weird. As a current gold player who has played against immortal smurfs when I was in iron/bronze and got frags against them, I can guarrantee you that it broadens your horizon on techniques that you otherwise wouldn't even consider!

Working around phone verification is extremely easy in my country. I have seven accounts that I play for ranked (all of which are at or very near my level), and I just switch between them. There are several people like myself, not to mention pros and streamers as well. Its just nice to mental reset when swapping to another account.

You do need to play against different levels of player to improve. Better players show you what mistakes you are making that can be exploited, but bad players also show you the same thing from a different perspective. (and playing against same level players helps you learn what decisions you make impact your winrate) But if someone is significantly better than you, yeah, you will learn absolutely nothing, it'll happen too fast.

[@kurtcb8200]

it s not about being better, but buying accounts to smurf in a low elo for him (ours) to boost his ego nd have fun knowing it destroys other players ranks nd fun, but dont care coz he looses nothing but a dollar or two for cheap accounts. being better is not a thing here, otherwise he can get better with his account in his own elo, why "smurfing"? why should ppl queue up against these ?

there should be a sistem that if you lose too many times the game will make you redo the 25 wins on normal to be able to play ranked again so like this afk bots will be much of a pain to make it work since you can't just let the bot lose too much or you will get the bot out of ranked games, also this can make trolls, throwers and leavers to not do that if they do they will get out of the ranked sistem

@@CJ-be2cu you can't actually get placed any higher than plat , in the placement games

I think he gets a pass since his whole thing is learning a new agent so he makes a lot of dumb mistakes while learning that agent

I’ve played against so many smurfs that when someone drop 40 kills I’m not sure if they’re smurfing

[@Spoonenheimer]

You gotta understand that all of them arent smurfs and some people just have a good game. Im a low elo bronze 2 and just had a game today where i went 47/15/4 and that is by far the best game ive had and was being yelled at for being a smurf when im clearly not if you check my tracker

[@savitar5445]

The devs have actually validated smurfing in valorant. If you watch the dev diaries they said in one of them that they are removing restrictions for smurfs but at the same time making match placements and mmr improvements to help push players to their designated ranks easier. I think the problem we all are facing is the rank reset and the system failing to recognise player ranks. This happens every first act of an episode and will pass as players push their ranks. I think valorant has a much efficient system to stop mismatches than other multiplayers like apex. As for buying and selling accounts, that’s something to be acknowledged by the community and systems should be put in place as to isolate accounts to their regions. I think that’s all that can be done

This is a genuine problem......I have been hard stuck bronze 2/3 for more than a year......just because my entire opponent team is filled with gold and platinum platinum 😭😭😭😭even sometimes diamonds 😭

i went from bronze to ascendant the smurfs never stopped it never got better

[@Vzax]

You certainly do learn by playing against better players, but their skill has to be within the scope of what you understand about the game. You have to be able to recongnize what was done wrong in order to improve upon the mistake.

[@klippeisnothere]

Yeah because the smurf that puts themselves in a terrible spot but outaiming your entire team anyway is completely reasonable. Just get good, amirite?

[@Vzax]

@@klippeisnothere I mean in the end with games like this it's aiming that is the most important skill. If you can click on heads faster, you're gonna win. Util helps to fix the issues with aiming and makes kills easier, but with a certain skill dif you're just gonna win almost every engagement

[@klippeisnothere]

@@Vzax Bruh if your argument against a Bronze-Gold player is "just click their head faster" then that wouldn't be a player of that elo anymore, wouldn't it? Point is there is nothing to learn against a smurf, if they're better than you in every single way they're gonna beat you regardless of what you do. Smurfing is completely pointless and is just harmful to the overall purpose of having a ranked system in the first place.

I get this a lot, ive been solo grinding my cheeks off, i started playing when fade came out so im still relatively new, as soon as i hit level 20 i went into ranked so i could get the most fair opponent’s and learn and adapted as i went, im now all the way in gold for the first time. Only to be blatantly smurfed on by someone with a “i miss her” or “his mommy” or “her daddy” when i call them out in all chat they just say yeah im better than you just learn from this game and all i can think is how can i learn when i physically can’t comprehend you insta dinking me before i can even respond to anything.

I started ep3 act 3 and in my first 2 weeks on pc went from bronze to plat and in the first full episode p2 to immo2, but people are calling themselves hard stuck and still don’t aimtrain or have the brain capacity to know what they did wrong. the one thing everyone does is find a way to blame it on everyone else but themselves.
