Smurfing

I wish there was a way to report someone as a smurf, then have valorant match all the reported smurfs together in ranked, thus making it impossible for them to rank up and preventing them from smurfing again

it will never happen. it is uncontrollable

report "cheating" then say "smurfing" in the comments. i have gotten many people permanently banned that way.

i get the email and /or in game notificatiom

what if someone was just having a good game? like you could match a person who had a good game and dropped 30 in lobbies with actual higher ranked players

well riot also has access to their other games in the said persons career tab so they probably wouldn't just base it all off a lobby reporting someone for smurfing

agreed but if anything just place the player at a higher rank

that would make sense in theory, but if it's a smurf account, the player probably doesn't care about their elo, and might just throw ranked games to get into easier lobbies for fun. thats why it's probably best to ban the account, at least imo.

well if that person is thorwing the account should be banned, if they are better than the people in their skill group they should be put in a higher rank. which i think be can agree on

No free2play game can counter smurfing. embrace the smurfs and carry on

+1 you really can't ever know if someone is smurfing (especially not off reporting them in one match lol), like imagine some top csgo pro moves over and just get banned because they have good aim
