The games I played didn’t have ranking. It was better.
It’s been that way for a long time. The term smurfing, I think, originated with Warcraft II.

It was an a****** dude that no one wanted to play against in high-ranking ladders because everyone knew his name because he was a f****** a******.
So he made two accounts. One called Papa Smurf and the other smurfette. Then proceeded to s*** on low-ranking. Players made fun of them and was he general a****** till everyone learned those names and started avoiding him as well.
Smurfing since its inception has been fundamentally something only assholes do where this whole purpose of being an a******.
Ranked systems only work if everybody only has one account. It’s also why most games restrict you to only one account for ranked purposes.

If you can’t be assed to cuss, stop using the words. All you are doing is making it harder to read what you are saying, and making yourself look like a child who will get in trouble for cussing. We aren’t on YouTube or whatever, you won’t have your content surpressed because you offended the advertisers delicate sensabilities.
