Idk about smurfing in cs, i casually play once a month, and i went from nova to supreme, all i can detect, are cheaters, with higher reaction time than any human can be. like they shoot you 0.1s after 5% of them is visible. There is no pro even close on that reaction speed. And my best reaction speed is 0.128ms.

Only place i could probably spot smurfs is in silver rank-nova, same with overwatch, overwatch actual bronze are the biggest bot players you’ve seen in any game, it feels like playing vs toddlers. Difference between bronze and silver is galactic(atleat when comp ffa was a released, and i got magically bronze).

In league, i can’t tell smurf apart from normal player, since i play casually comp, all i really see, is bunch of overextension,blaming jungler while sitting under enemy turret,spawn dying nonstop, and while i might be iron, i can stomp my lane as a support,i am deffinetly around plat skill wise, as long as adc knows even little how to properly play.

Then again, me not sensing smurfs is probably handicapped by my own skill level. I could deffo get stomped in dota 2, apex legends,smite and whatnot.

Then again, skill cap on csgo is probably low(in normal comp), since i vaguely know recoil pattern of some guns(almost don’t know sht about recoil control vs moving target), don’t have great long range aim without a scope. Sure i got bunch of aces, but that’s thanks to sound and position, and most of the aces are from shotguns.

I mostly only play csgo as a competitive natured game, because that’s balance peak performance. Hero shooters are just pain, meta this, meta that, new champ usually=broken as hell to sell skins, looking at you riot. Mobas are the worst, since single player can ruin your teams whole game, if you don’t have better mid-endgame champions to have chance for comeback. Or the enemy makes many dumb greedy mistakes.



P.S sorry for the wall of text, i get like that past 2am or so. And it’s almost 5am.
