    Using an alternate accounts so you can play with lower ranks and easily win them. It’s a form of griefing in video games and against the rules.

      I know why I quit competitive multiplayer & open pvp games a long time ago. It’s just too toxic and people are more into griefing weaker players than actually testing themselves against equal or even stronger foes who also want to fight.

        I very much agree with you. I cannot dedicate the time to playing a game that an 18 year old can dedicate. Even if I could, I’m not going to have the same speed. It’s back to single player games, Civilization and Cities Skylines for me

      It’s not always against the rules. I believe that LoL, for example, allows it.

        I played LoL back in the early 2010’s, and I had to smurf to even enjoy the game. Once I got out of the beginning levels the other players’ skill skyrocketed and I just couldn’t keep up. I needed to make a couple new accounts just to be among players of my own skill level.
