    A week and a half ago, Wardell got called out by Tarik for queuing with a known stream sniper. And now Tarik is also getting called out for occasionally smurfing while playing with some of his friends.
    But is smurfing as bad as stream sniping and will either problem ever really go away?

      The problem you get with phone number verification to ensure competitive integrity is the fact that you have some cellphone contracts that supply multiple phone numbers, or are ridiculously cheap. You want to disallow these contracts, but some players (mostly poor) are left out then.
      Overwatch 2 had the luck of having data on these players from before, so also allowed OW1 accounts to play without phone number, which in turn compromised competitive integrity.
      I also want to note that in OW2 you can juggle your phone number between multiple accounts

      I think you underestimate how much better Tarik is than a platinum or ascendant player. In terms of the advantage he has, even if he's "not trying" I think it is SIGNIFICANTLY higher. The guy is a fucking ex-pro major winning MVP, and I know that's a different game and while he's technically not professional in Valorant, he is still unfathomably better than a platinum player. He may not know where they are because of a stream but he knows where they are in his brain, his aim, movement, and decision making are better, and even if he makes bad choices in a plat lobby, he will STILL win because of his aim and experience. Not only that but if he's "not trying", what about his teammates as well? I think both of these cases are really scummy, and Wardell is the worst of them all as he had absolutely no remorse and seemingly no self awareness. But smurfing SUCKS for everyone except the people doing it and queuing with it, it ruins the game just as much as stream snipping.

    • @Katniss0000
      @Katniss0000 6 месяцев назад

      Stream sniping just affect the entitled rich guys. That is why RIot don't care and never bans them. The solution is so simple and just add DELAY. Before you get hyped up and defend that "I want to interact with chat". Big streamers rarely interact with chat and they can still do that with DELAY. It is not like they reply every to 5000 viewers. They just answer questions and it is done most of the time.
      They are not doing a JUST CHATTING. They literally PLAYING. and a 30 secs delay will not that hurt that much. People watch them to play and not just talk to chat.

    I feel like both situations are not quite the same. Wardell is queuing with the guy and benefitting off an unfair advantage and lied about it to another member of the valorant community, twice. Tarik seems like he's just trying to play with his friends but they are not good enough to play in his rank and he's too good for theirs. The intentions and consequence just seem so different. Wardell can no longer cheat through proxy and Tarik cant hang with Ludwig and play their favorite game.

At the same time tho, I’m intentionally limiting my contact with my close friends because of a random thing I care about in video game. I know I can just play swift or something with them, but there’s no feeling of progression or like we’re actually doing anything when we do swift/unrated. It’s like we might as well be sitting in front of a tv watching a sitcom, not talking, and call it “hanging out.” I hate smurfs but I also want to feel like I’m actually doing something with my friends. I could just play another game but that feels like it’s just dodging the question.

The thing is smurfing isn't same as stream sniping, you will always have atleast one or more players in the enemy team better than you even if you are in the same rank.

    While smurfing does negatively impact the competitive integrity of the game, it is not the same as stream sniping. Smurfs don't get any unfair advantage in the game aside from a skill advantage, and it doesn't change the game that's being played. Stream sniping and knowing the precise position of the enemies fundamentally breaks a tactical fps in which info is the biggest part of the game.

    Smurfing is bad yes but it's not as bad as a streamsniper where every move/strats your team makes are known to the enemy. It's like playing against a wallhacker whereas against a smurf you're just fighting against a really good opponent and not all the time smurfs actually win because if someone in your team is having a very good game or your team is a five stack and well coordinated even a smurf can't carry that game.

    smurfing is smth even if we try, it's very hard to get around with multiple phone numbers and emails. but no matter what rank you are, streamers still get stream sniped. the same friends tarik smurfs with aka the otv and friends group, they get stream sniped even tho some of them are just gold or even bronze.
    if riot puts a hard ban on smurfs, the content made on the game will go down by a lot and that isn't really good for the game. they should instead allow players to report try hard smurfs and ban those try hard smurfs after review.
    banning stream sniping is good because some content creators have openly said the games are getting annoying to play because of stream snipers, and some of them don't open their game for a long time because of frustration. taking up and fixing the issue of stream sniping, will just benefit the game more with more streamers and more creators.

Sure you can play unrated, so they negative effect of smurfing is lowered but it still can have an effect on the opponents regardless. Its makes the game unfun for them still. Like I've had unrated games against diamonds.. I'm silver so the unrated match finder is broken aswell imo.

    Woohoojin isn’t directly defending Wardell, but whenever the response to someone’s wrongdoings is to point out another person’s instead of addressing the initial issue, that’s just a weak argument and just deflecting the issue at hand.
    And just saying “well they’re both cringe” isn’t doing much of anything either. It’s as if you’re treating the first problem (stream sniping) as an afterthought, now that you’ve brought up the second (smurfing) and decided to shine the light on THAT instead of addressing both issues independently.
    Pretty disappointing behavior on Woohoojin’s part too imo

    imo stream sniping is worse. This is just from my perspective obviously but when I first started playing val and encountered a Smurf it’s possible to work around them (eliminating everyone else and then overwhelming the Smurf for example) it’s hard but doable. But now that I’ve gotten to an elo where there’s pros and streamers fairly consistently, playing against a stream sniper feels impossible. Essentially playing a hacker that doesn’t get banned, they know where you are/how you’re setup. A lot of the time unless the other team is just horrible it feels impossible to win. They’re both scummy no doubt but imo stream sniping completely ruins a match (not to say an imm Smurf in gold isn’t going to completely ruin the match, just you can occasionally work around a Smurf)

  • @primal9238
    @primal9238 8 месяцев назад

    I feel like smurfing isn't a big deal tbh. I know many will get upset at this but hear me out. What I'm saying is that smurfing is pretty much unavoidable. In most games you don't even notice it. The problem is that Valorant has a BIG smurfing problem. It's like an explosion of the crime rate. Crime still exists when it's at a lower %, but most people don't think about it. When that % gets high everyone starts to notice.
    Valorant just needs to tone down the smurfing issue. The easy answer it to try to get rid of the Valorant black market.

    @superhirni6816 8 месяцев назад +1

    I think smurfing is not nearly as bad as streamsniping. Smurfing is just one guy who is just better while not breaking the rules gaining an unfair adventage. Streamsniping however is straight cheating gaining an unfair adventage. You can eventually become a better player than a smurf if you keep grinding, you cant beat a streamsniper who can call out positions and has an adventage every round.

    • @doghat1619
      @doghat1619 5 месяцев назад

      Smurfing IS cheating though. If you're playing in lobbies that you wouldn't ever be in on your main, you're avoiding the system to gain an advantage.
      Yes, you CAN become better than smurfs, but at the time, you're going to lose a game because some higher ranked player wanted easy kills.

  • @CallMeFern
    @CallMeFern 8 месяцев назад

    In my biased opinion, (ascendant rank so smurfing isn't as big an issue) I still pick Tarik in this instance. Wardell is in a limbo zone, not on a team but not a huge creator, so he ought to focus on one of the two at least. However, by playing with a stream sniper, he puts off other creators and devalues his rank to orgs as well. Whereas Tarik smurfing with friends, while also bad, at least falls into his primary role as a content creator. His scores might be average in their games but even his lackluster play is definitively better than most golds. (Not considering the fact that he could pop off on accident or really whenever should he decide to so you can't fully condone it).
    On the other hand, as Devil's advocate, do you really think Riot games would ever tell him not to collab with other streamers and get more exposure for the game? Even if they found a way to 100% prevent smurfing he would still get that pass. In the end both players have a choice but one is definitely more career oriented and backed by the company themselves.

  • @ArvinDelRosario
    @ArvinDelRosario 5 месяцев назад

    Tarik admitted that him smurfing is wrong but he still won't stop because he is not doing it for the sake of ego boosting. He just wants to play with friends but does not want to play unrated. He is not even trying to win in low elo. He just let's his friends do the work. Wardell is just twisted. It was literally cheating and he justifies it. Glad he got own by Giansanity. He didn't even stand a chance.
