Playing against an experienced player while you are still fresh or new to a game is frustrating and often unfair. There are typically systems in place like ranked modes or skill-based matchmaking to prevent experienced players from dominating new players, but sometimes there are ways around these preventive measures.<\/p>
One way players can face less-experienced players is with a smurf account, which allows them to “smurf” against easier opponents.<\/p>
Smurfing is when a high-level player creates a new account to play against lower-ranked players. There are several reasons players might create a smurf account, like playing with lower-ranked friends and for a new experience. But many players smurf to play easier opponents, which allows them to dominate their matches.<\/p>
