I'm an iron player, I'm new to FPS games and Valo has been a cool way for me to learn FPS games and just do something fun and different. I was playing a competitive match with some random people, and soon discovered that our Jett was a MAJOR smurf. They claimed to be Plat and were playing Iron so that they could play with their friend. Anyways, a few times during the game I would be the last person standing, and if I didn't manage to win the round, then my shooting was bad, or my aim was awful, or my crosshair wasn't set up properly, or I was using the wrong gun. The whole game they were on my butt for being "shit" and "purposefully throwing the game". I told them if they didn't like how Iron's played that they should just, stop playing with Iron's, their response was that I was wasn't Iron, I was an example of below Iron playing and needed to stop ruining other peoples games by queuing up. Ha, and their friend wasn't any better, they were an Iron player who made sure that I bought them every round they died so that I couldn't buy a decent gun. I'm aware I didn't need to buy them, but they were Sage, and my only opportunity at getting healed. Not to mention none of my team mates would give me callouts or information unless I bought a Phantom or Vandal for the Sage that round.

Anyways, I know this post is me complaining, and I know that I could have muted the individual. I would just like to ask that, for those of you who do smurf, please don't be a dick to other people who are in that rank because they're still learning.

Thank you for even taking a second to read my post. I put this up initially to just get myself over the whole situation. All of your suggestions for future in-game interactions are ones that I am going to take with me and apply when and where I see fit, so thank you for sharing them! I sincerely hope you are having a lovely day, and thank you for being you :D
