I'm an Immortal player with 5k games and for some reason I am paired with lvl 2 accounts in Turbo/All pick. Sure, some of them are smurfs, but there are so many that are literally first time players who will get stomped by more experienced ones. I mean, what's the point of that?
You either play with new players and lose/get stomped or you play against new players and win/stomp. And noone benefits from that experience. New players will only get frustrated by the skill gap, while players like me who want some practice on new heroes won't get that at all because they don't pose a realistic challenge.
And it's not like that every 5th game or so, but literally every single one! What the hell happened, where did all those numerous fresh accounts come from? Didn't Valve addressed the smurf issue with shadow pool?
Is anyone else experiencing this or I'm trippin' so hard?
