Just had a game where the enemy SAGE (yes sage) went 42/15 (the lowest death count in the lobby) while jumping around and head shotting our whole team. They let us get to overtime then the Sage just starts unleashing onto us to win overtime. I just wanted to have fun and chill with my friends but this smurfing is getting so old I regret buying skins. What's the point of playing a game when the result has been decided before it even starts? Their sage was literally playing by herself as her whole team was getting 5-20 kills. I checked her rank and it said bronze 3. How is this even allowed? I'm not even mad at losing I'm just mad at how smurfs like this that are so obvious haven't been detected or at least put into a smurf queue. For reference our top fragger only got 25 kills (and most of them were pity feeds from the enemy team). Our bottom fragger is literally equivalent to their third fragger. Our whole team was balanced and we were the better team on average. But that didn't mean anything. We were trying our hardest and poured in all this work for nothing. For a predetermined game.

She also had a revive like every second round because she was just farming kills and ult points.

All throughout the enemy team was just being toxic and uncompetitive telling us we were trash, walking in mid with knife out taunting us (not trying because they were getting carried), calling us iron.

You could tell one of them wasn't even trying and just sat in mid and told us all to come and kill him. It was very demotivating seeing that they weren't trying because all I wanted was a fun game for all teams where we all tried our best. Regardless of the result I would be happy because I wouldn't feel inferior because I would know everyone's trying their best. This just isn't fun anymore.

One of my friends started crying/getting very upset. She didn't want to play anymore after that game. We all lost a lot of elo.

Because we know the next game is going to be another stomp from the enemy team (or from our team). And nothing we do will affect the outcome of the game because how is a 10/24 going to do anything to a 24/10?
