Valorant is supposedly very strict about smurfing and boosting etc.
While I have seen riot devs act against smurfing with various updates, I have noticed that a lot of streamers occasionally play ranked with a smurfing pro. Just yesterday Valkyrae played ranked in a five stack with both Tarik and yay on Smurf accounts. Yay then dropped 40 kills on killjoy in a plat lobby.
Since Valorant is starting to have a pretty big smurfing/boosting problem I don’t really get why they allow big streamers to do this? The Smurf accounts will probably get banned, but Valkyrae who played on her main will still keep the gained rr.
Do you think there should be bigger repercussions for these kind of things? Like a temp ban on tariks main or maybe even bigger repercussions for yay since he’s a pro player acting against riots terms of service? Thoughts on this?
Edit: A lot of people have pointed out that smurfing isn’t actually against riots tos. Boosting on the other hand is against the rules and will often result in a ban. Both yay and tarik were technically boosting Valkyrae and the others. Thus breaking the riot tos.
