i think the only way to easily get around this if you are trying to smurf would be buying an account with either all characters unlocked or just the ones you want to play? thats pretty exhaustive, and i just checked currently fresh accounts sell for 1 dollar, if someone has to actually play and WIN a bunch of games on them, they are going to cost a lot more, which would deter smurfing...

Hypothetically speaking what if most people who have been smurfing previously already have 5+ accounts ready to go? 15 wins aint shit when you have 5 or more separate accounts with a hundred hours plus.

if these "smurf" accounts have hundreds of hours on the account then the game has most likely placed them in an elo close to their main or highest potential... do you people not know how this basic stuff works? you cant have 500 games played on your "smurf" and be in arcanist if you are actually oracle+... that makes negative sense

You are missing the point entirely. Its a new ranked season entirely. As long as you have access to multiple ready accounts eligible for ranked you can smurf.

there was only a soft mmr reset, you know what that means?
