This game is frustrating enough trying to play pubs with SBMM, and the one safe haven for mid level players should be ranked. Season after season, more and more pros or content creators do a series on a brand new account. Smurfing blatantly for all of there viewers to see and nothing is done about it but it doesnt just bring these players into the lobbies. They also bring with them the people who create brand new accounts just to stream snipe them. Other games have already told pros/content creators they are not allowed to intentionally drop ranks to play low level lobbies or both their alt and main accounts will be banned ie. Rocket League for road to SSL series. You are allowing influencers on this game get away with ruining the experience for other players.

@Simp_for_Lulu18First I'm not saying that this practice is morally correct but Respawn's (Hideouts) statement on this is that it's okay to make a single smurf account for the challenge but making multiple ones in a season can/will get you banned. I guess it's a gray area thing and yes, streamers/pros get the special treatment unfortunately. It does create lots of traffic and views for the game hence the reason they probably allow it. It was awesome when Timmy did it first but when almost every single streamer copied him, it became a problem. In my opinion, Respawn should decide either smurfing is allowed or bannable with no gray area in between.
