What's the difference between smurfing and deranking on purpose tho?
I mean you are playing in a lower elo in both cases, so why would it matter?
And I don't think that people smurf just to win easily. It's just about having a more relaxed game, like Deagle or Scout only, without caring about losing or about your mates shouting: "Stop playing SSG only, you have 14k$"
And casual is just not the same.
when your smurfing usually you are trying to win to carry a friend ect. When your deranking your just intentionally throwing.
when i smurf or derank i just play for fun
if you meet me on vertigo im usually trying to drop into the enemy spawn or get into a place you cant get out of
usually i do it as a 5 man though so noone is really bothered
Well when I'm smurfing I'm playing with people who I couldn't play with otherwise.
Sure I wont take it as seriously as I would in my own rank.
But there are simply so few people who can play with me on the same rank when it comes to places like Toribash.
So thats pretty much my only option.
