Smurfing is a disgusting practice where players in a game make new alternate accounts to play in a newer lobby filled with more inexperienced players. This is primarily done by the game’s more high-level individuals who probably cannot play in their own ranked lobbies and as a coping method tend to dominate over unseasoned gamers.

Smurfing has been a problem in all genres of multiplayer games where there is a competitive setting. The rampant custom of smurfing is a huge problem for newcomers who want to enjoy the game on their own level but are constantly being wrecked by smurfs who are much more experienced. This has created a bad taste in a lot of new players who are playing a game for the first time and are still new to the mechanics.

Smurfing in Marvel Rivals has been a glaring issue since the day it was released and although NetEase has not taken any steps for this, they can take inspiration from Blizzard Entertainment who are taking rigorous steps in their new season update to overcome the problem of smurfing in their game.

blog, Blizzard has openly talked about how they want to keep the playing field fair and even for all the players. The blog mentions how Blizzard has been working on a new mechanism in the game where if an experienced player is trying to play in lower-ranked lobbies, the system will recognize that and increase their MMR (Match Making Rating) exponentially.

Blizzard has also made sure that new accounts will play against AI bots during the first five matches, ensuring that newcomers will get a chance to become familiar with the game, before heading on to actual matches. While these new mechanics are still now and have been tested in limited capacity, this will ensure that the widespread occurrence of smurfing decreases a bit.

The escalating issue of Smurfing has plagued all multiplayer genres equally and the frustration from it is at an all-time high. While games like Overwatch 2 are taking measures to reduce the damage, to fully overcome the problem developers have to take extreme steps to ensure an even playing field.

Although NetEase Games have tackled the Blitz rife in Marvel Rivals, they have yet to announce concrete measures against the smurfing problem. We as a community are all eager to see how the developers will tackle this issue to ensure fair matchmaking and a balanced playing field for newer players in the game.
