Only people who says that smurfing doesn't affect gameplay of other player are noobs who doesn't think strategy and do 22pop all game regardless of map and don't know how strategies are made in,higher levels of game. I am a noob but,I still,get that smurfing gives you disadvantage cuz in one of the games the enemy was very far from me but I still forward him cuz his rate,15xx but he was 17+ and I died much badly than I should have if I would have played my usual.
