Smurfing

Also said as Smurf, Alt account, Boosting (its cousin)

A skilled player on a new account, so they get matched with beginners. The system is doing exactly what it should, and it takes many one-sided games to find out.

New players meet the worst opponent possible at the worst time, and many of them leave. Punishing it is hard, because a new account with good results could just as well be a talented newcomer.

“Give new accounts a high K so a good player climbs in 10 games, not 60. Weigh performance as well as wins for the first 20 games, and do not rate accounts that have no verified phone number.”

A smurf is a good player on a low account, for their own sake. Boosting is a good player on somebody else's account, to raise that person's rank.
