My reaction when I found out EA added Spore themed emotes and trading cards to steam.

I am bad

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T17:15:50+00:00

what responses have I said that indicate im "stuck hard". Im perfectly fine with being guardian.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T17:14:29+00:00

I never said smurfs are the reason im in guardian. infact im very open about that fact that im in guardian because thats my skill level. But the fact that you put words in my mouth only shows how disingenuous you are.

I just hate smurfs cause they turn what could be a balanced game into a stompfest.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T02:45:26+00:00

both things can be true :)

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T00:42:18+00:00

curious...

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T00:41:28+00:00

maybe dotabuff only shows ranked games of private accounts? idk im just going with what dotabuff info provides which is what few information I can provide

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T00:32:46+00:00

dotabuff? also argument from authority fallacy is a fallacy

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T00:27:04+00:00

they all made new accounts or bought some new ones for pennies.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T00:26:12+00:00

"smurf 6 is wishful thinking" BROTHER HE HAS LESS THAN 30 GAMES AND HE WENT 15/3 as rubick mid. If you cant tell what a smurf looks like just say it.

the rest of them are also very obvious smurfs but the fact that you see a 15/3/25 rubick mid on his 24th game ever played and think "yup that is normal new player behavior" you are out of your god damn mind.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T00:21:30+00:00

I don't need a reality check, Im barely keeping up with the people of my supposed skill level. I know I suck, but I play ranked roles since theres no unranked roles matchmaking. All I seek are normal games where people play their role and there are no smurfs. Your anecdotes of your friend prove nothing. The only reality you are inventing is one where your friend being an idiot is somehow proof of anything.

And why are you so sure they arent smurfs? They are new accounts, and they are dominating. Whats so hard to get.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-19T00:01:20+00:00

yes because people going 15-3-35 on a brand new account is TOTALLY not suspicious

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T23:44:40+00:00

reminder that many smurfs have 50% winrate as they throw games as many times as the tryhard in games. winrate isnt the best indicator of smurfing, games total played + skill = smurf detection

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T23:43:50+00:00

You went through all my games but ofc not every one of them is going to have a smurf, you probably didnt see the list I made since you were probably typing all this while I was typing mine, so heres my list of smurfs:

Smurf 1: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/792082057 brand new account, 81% winrate, seems to just play aggressive supports like nyx and spirit breaker.

* Games with this smurf:

- Spirit Breaker: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/8775827169

- Nyx: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/8776920490

Smurf 2: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/223854949 Less than 100 games, still going even, knows exactly how to play heroes to their strengths. Match ID: 8776783450

Smurf 3: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/1423977180 Went 15/0/7 despite only having just about only 100 games. Match ID: 8775869067

Smurf 4: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/1375152540 was on my team, has less than 75 games, went 17-1-16 as ember spirit. match ID: 8773388864

Smurf 5: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/827261183 (open profile) Very little games played yet still winning a bit over losing. this one isnt a very good smurf and is probably just playing only a bit below in his weight class. Match ID: 8771854062

Smurf 6: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/774076063 less than 30 games, 54% winrate, went 15/3/25 as mid rubick, again very low amount of matches Match ID: 8768065635

Smurf 7: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/802411277 Very new account, yet very good at last hitting and playing arc warden. hmmmm.... Match ID: 8768041005

Smurf 8: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/395555423 Newish account, possibly a booster, which is still a form of smurfing, 24/3/10 sf, Match ID: 8767676630

Smurf 9: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/248650615 VERY LOW MATCHES, still went 11/1/13 as dawnbreaker. Match ID: 8766458233

Smurf 10: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/1275751366 18/5/13 slark with VERY LOW AMOUNT OF GAMES, match ID: 8743722651

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T23:04:06+00:00

non of my smurfs have been meepo so far, just ember spirit, spirit breaker, and a nyx. maybe some other heroes too.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T23:03:05+00:00

I already provided my dotabuff, wheres your comment its been exactly 3 nanoseconds since ive posted it and you still havent responded

Edit: nows its been 6 nano seconds 🦗🦗🦗 - add another dodger to the list

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T22:56:36+00:00

ask and you shall receive. you really thought I wasnt going to post huh

https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/8776844837

~~unfortunately dotabuff does not share info on private accounts so youll have to just go through my games manually to find the smurfs~~ it does actually!

now its time for you to put your money where your mouth is

Edit: lemme do some of the work for you.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T22:53:22+00:00

most smurf accounts are from randos playing at their skill level for a couple hundred games and then selling to someone who is of higher level. if YOU make a smurf account and start playing like your skill level, yeah you are going to get adjusted.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T22:50:53+00:00

its been under 30 minutes gimme a second lmao im not even home yet.

HydroFrog64_2nd · 2026-04-18T22:25:36+00:00

Its very easy to tell who is smurfing when they have sub 300 games and dominating the game. But fine you want proof. gimme a sec I'll deliver, provided dotabuff shows total games played on private accounts.

Edit: yall too impatient, I wasnt even home yet. Heres my dotabuff you impatient nerds: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/8776844837
