[2020] Do something about smurfing

Originally posted by Juicy Meats: Whether you want to admit it or not, Smurfing is really hurting this game. When I'm typically around a gold 1-Plat 3 every season and going against rank 60s who are dropping 15 kills a game(Who are not hacking, it's fairly obvious to tell whose hacking in this day and age) you have a problem, I see this at least 2-3 times a DAY currently. Figure this out ubisoft.

We're looking into it. Tracking smurfs has been hard, and we're looking for some way to track the data on them.

That's already implemented for ranked so it's not a simple.fix with that, sadly no matter what you do some people will still find a way to smurf, it's a problem that's even harder to fix than cheating imo
Although in my experience smurfs are also really toxic a lot of the times so the reputation system that's coming could very well also tackle smurfing

Yeah, anything more on the technical side is what we're looking at. I saw some say "why not track stats" and who knows, maybe that could be a solution. However, how do you differentiate from someone coming from another comp FPS playing Siege and being really good, and a smurf?

A friend of mine recently switched from CSGO to Siege and he's an absolute gunner, so, we'll see what the team comes up with.
