General DiscussionNew accounts ban?!

u use new email?, what u choosen i am beginner, played dota 2 or played similar game?

I hope every smurf acc gets banned for the better community. I have to say there's like 80-90% less smurfs now in my games.

you need to load at least 50

@Some Be wdym load 50?

@Lex It's already impossible for a smurf to be matched with regular players. Smurf matches are found in a completely different pool of matchmaking (smurf pool) which only consists of other smurf players. This carries on atleast until they have 800+ games on their account.

what???

What happened to your old account?

Short answer is "no, you can no longer easily create a new account that won't be identified as a smurf and banned"

If you have completely lost access to your main account and also the email address associated to it, then you can try contacting valve and explaining the situation to them, no idea if it will help though... sadly due to over a DECADE of abuse by assholes who just want to stomp lower skill players, valve FINALLY fucking tightened up their smurf restrictions and if you're genuinely an innocent victim of this, I'm sorry for your pain bro, but it's worth it to have a better player experience for 99.999% of players.

I suggest you shouldn't pin your MMR to another acc (idk how i can explain, but in ru-speaking community it called "привязка")

You already started playing with Divines and Ancients. The way to not ban your acc - clean your pc like that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcaTlvpuLnc

But you might be playing first matches with Heralds-Guardians, but after ~10 games you will play with nearly same bracket, just have good winrate and stat.
