I used to regularly play with my group of friends and we were within 6 ranks so we just played on our main accounts. Now we all have alt (smurf) accounts because were almost never within 3 ranks.

External link →They need to change the rank queue requirement from 10 games to 10 wins, this will demphasize throwing matches to keep rank low and have people starting out closer to their true skill, because smurfs want to play ranked ASAP. I feel bad for my iron wife, almost every game has smurfs dropping 40 bombs.
We’ll be doing this in the next patch :)
Don’t suppose you’d be willing to hint at any upcoming balances changes? Loveeeeee youuuu
I don’t work on the balance team sorry 😅
The current rank queue requirement is 20 games based off of my second account, so will you be changing it to 20 wins or changing it to 10 wins? Essentially making it easier for high level players to ease their way through the unrated games?
We’re changing it from 20 games played -> 10 wins :) Patch notes should be going out about it soon tm We’re hoping this also helps with AFKs a bit
Wouldn't this essentially just be reducing the amount of games for a smurf to 10 games instead of 20? A smurf on a fresh account could easily win their first 10 unrated games with low effort.
I get that a new smurf accounts may be griefing or AFKing or whatever they do to get their games done quickly. The change sounds like it will reduce that problem, but this change won't reduce the amount of new smurf accounts being made.
Previous requirement was to play 20 games, win or lose. Forcing someone into 20 wins is a steep barrier of entry, so we settled on 10 wins as opposed to the old requirement. It can be revisited and potentially changed to 15, or some other number that makes sense after we take a look at the stats! So if a smurf wins 10 games in a row, then I guess it only takes 10 games, but I doubt that’ll be happening :)
Thanks for the response!
It's nice to hear y'all are addressing the smurfing issues and are open to tweaking things.
Always a WIP :) keep the feedback coming! We’ll improve the game together.
