There isn’t a whole lot of options on banning people on free to play games…unless you want them to start charging a subscription?
Subscription, no . . . having a minimal amount of paid game on the steam account to access some of DB’s features, including of course ranked, maybe . . .
This certainly will ensure a large player base for ranked… :*

I DON’T CARE THE PLAYERBASE IS ABYSSIMAL AND COBALT/ELITE OPRATIVE TAKE 30+ MINS TO FIND A MATCH,I think you mean 4+ hours.
4+ hours is technically included in 30**+** mins

Trouble is…banning a smurf would be just as effective as banning a hacker…all they need to do is roll a new account.It’s up to SD to come with a sensible but efficient solution ffs²
If you’re such a genius then share how to do it?
You ban accounts…they can make a new one…they ban IP addys…they can fake a different one.

How does decide how much that is then? What is to stop someone from buying some stuff on a secondary account if they enjoy smurfing that much?
Incentives, incentives, incentives.
So you’l say… Muh, compotative Dirty Bomb is not possible cause da smalplayarbaz. And I’ll say ney. Competitive is not a gamemode like ranked, it’s a culture.
But yeah, before that, SD, ban the smurfs or block their rank to lead.

player287 is not a smurf
would be good to just introduce pure soloqueue mode ontop of whatever the abomination we have currently
Would using a 2nd act be considered smurfing if u wanted it as a bacl> @Dieu-Sama said:

player287 is not a smurf
A top skill player with a mere 321 hours in the game according to his (almost empty) steam account (which even means less effective time play than 321 hours), but ok, he’s not a smurf

Yeah you could be right, someone just told me it’s not a smurf. I have no idea who the player is in this case 
i guess Solo Q only would be the best thing at the moment with balance being broken like shit.

He is not a smurf, but that wasn’t always his main account.

so he’s an ex high level who was already banned at least once before ?

“In 1972, a crack commando player was sent to prison by a military court for a smurfing crime he didn’t commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum security spawn to the Ranked underground. Today, still wanted by butt-hurt players he survives as soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him…maybe you can hire player287.”

Discussion Completely derailed
Smurfing is fine, imo. It’s just difficult to tell legitimate skill from automated ones.
