Riot Games Has A Plan To Overcome VALORANT Smurfs
Riot Games Has a Plan to Overcome Smurfs in VALORANT!
In any competitive game, one of the most annoying things players have to deal with is playing against smurf accounts, and this is the case in Valorant too.
Where experienced players will deliberately lose the game to enter a lower rank where they can dominate the game.
Smurfing cases have occurred since the first Valorant was released and because the game is free, players can easily create new accounts just by having a new email address.
Players have filed their grievances with Riot Games complaining that smurfs spoil their gaming experience as smurfs can easily dominate matches if their skill difference is large enough.
Riot Games plans to face the smurfs in Valorant
In this week’s Ask Valorant blog post, Riot describes their plans to stop smurfs, and provides a sneak peek of the new system they are developing to deal with this problem.
“Smurfs are always annoying, especially when you’re risking your rank,” wrote Valorant Senior Producer Ian Fielding.
“While it is difficult to stop smurfing completely in free games, we are taking action against it.” He continued.
On his blog, Ian continues to explain the system that the Riot Games development team is developing to stop smurfs.
“We currently have a behind the scenes system for Unrated as well as a system that applies to players ranked Iron to Diamond.”

“For the smurf ranked system, this system will track individual performance and know when players are making a very disproportionate impact in the game.
“We then quickly upgraded them to more difficult matches and ranked higher in Competitive.”
“We stopped using this system for Immortal + players because there wasn’t much room to smurf or play around when you got near the top of the rankings.”

Riot is well-known for having a good relationship with the game community, and their response to the smurfs at Valorant is proof of that.
We hope that with the system Riot is developing, the smurf cases in this one FPS game can decrease a lot and players can have a fairer and more exciting matchmaking session!
