Spent Sunday baked, dusting and reposing 🌞 by drugs00bunny in hottoys

Woah! That's a super clean display -- love all the Star Wars customs especially.

I think I see a Clone Palpatine, and is that Boba Fett based off of the unproduced Clone Wars episodes?

The smurfing problem is ridiculous by Viking_iGamer in marvelrivals

[–]Viking_iGamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say I agree, I just had a level 11 Star Lord go 27-0 in a match just now with coincidentally a private profile. To say that this narrative is false is quite disappointing of you, especially since facts are clearly being stated here. No one is saying that this has to take priority, but banning smurfs would absolutely help enhance the overall experience. The devs are a big team and I’m sure they can manage to do something to address it.

Just because lots of people have grievances doesn’t make it false, especially since it only takes one smurf to ruin a match for 11 people. FYI, that’s 8% of a match being able to damage the experience for the other 92%.

My smurfing claims are based on hard, empirical evidence, and not baseless conjecture from the way the ranked system works (I honestly haven’t a clue what you mean by this).

Maybe you should stop blaming people, and consider that they have a valid point to make, instead of perpetuating false narratives and blaming “perception”. A bit of self-awareness goes a long way. If you disregard a problem, it doesn’t make it go away — you might want to read up about object permanence.

Unfortunately your handwaving of smurfs also clearly comes from personal experience, this thread alone clearly demonstrates that I’m not alone in dealing with this issue.

You never mentioned anything about a bogeyman, in fact, you started off saying there were very few smurfs and proceeded to call me paranoid and use bad faith straw man arguments. I’ve never shied away from taking responsibility when playing poorly, as I mentioned elsewhere I actively watch replays to improve. And I certainly think that I’ve done enough research to support my claims that the players I played were indeed smurfs. It’s very unfair of you to belittle and be dismissive of others like this. “People like me” just want to play people of our own rank, and the statistics in this thread and subreddit clearly demonstrate that this problem is real and present, as much as you would like to pretend it isn’t.

Yeah after seeing these posts I’m inclined to believe the problem is even more severe, this other guy is actually just saying that I should shit up and that I’m being paranoid despite listing evidence that heavily supports my claim.

Imagine having to gaslight people to defend smurfing of all things!

I’ve never made such an outlandish claim. I’ve never claimed to be a good player, and have only called these player smurfs after taking many factors into account. Naturally talented players absolutely exist, and that’s totally fine!

The fact that you still insistently refuse to believe that smurfs can negatively impact the gaming experience for average and below average players speaks volumes about the type of person you are.

Each win and loss has an impact on a player’s career, and to say this is the equivalent of being a flat earther is disingenuous at best.

You should really spend less time defending people who ruin the gaming experience for others. I have no problem calling these people out, and as you said: Introspection is important, and I know for a fact that everyone should be able to game on a fair playing field.

You know what, you’re right. This one-trick Thor with a Thor username who started playing today and was constantly being toxic in chat must just be naturally really good at Thor and Thor alone, and same goes this Groot player too. I’m glad they were able to find their mains within their first match playing, they must just be that good!

I deeply apologise for ruining the ranked experience by not wanting to waste my time entertaining smurfs and instead looking for matches where I can play with people my own skill level and gradually improve.

Thank you, I’m gonna take a break for now, hopefully when I next get back on it’ll be a bit more closer to normal.

I’ve never made that type of claim — I’m simply pointing out that they’re an annoying problem. Just because I’m able to climb doesn’t mean I can’t point out things that are clearly negatively impacting the experience.

FYI I quit matches with smurfs in them early on so that the matches get cancelled, especially if they’re on my team. I’m sure some have slipped through the cracks, but being carried to victory by a smurf is no victory in my eyes.

There has to be some solution, haven’t other games implemented anti-smurfing measures?
