I literally just downloaded this game.
Probably exactly a week ago, downloaded this to play with my partner who is BARELY able to keep their place in plat rank.
Leveled up to 15, did my rank placements, I get placed in silver III.
Every. Single. Game. Someone from the opposing team admits to smurfing, the most honest of all being a celestial champion lord daredevil. I had such a miserable run that when that daredevil was placed in the opposing team for the SECOND match in a row with me, I had to pass my controller to my partner.
The daredevil admitted to smurfing on a alt so they could play with their friend thats new to the game which is understandable to an extent, but 7/10 of the time someone admits they’re in a much higher rank and the reasoning being so they can play with a newbie can’t hold up as a reasonable excuse anymore.
This is my first time playing a shooter game on a console, so I’m quite obviously not good at this game, but at this rate I can’t even progress to get any better if I’m just facing people that have HUNDREDS of hours on ONE dps.
I hear smurfing is bannable but is NetEase even CONSIDERING any of the reports about the smurfers? 😭
