What does making a smurf mean?

This is the fediverse, so I can't completely rule out the possibility that you casually use the word smurf like they do in the show, and I'm supposed to fill in the meaning from context.

    A smurf is an account you create to pretend to be a low level noob, when you're actually an experienced player. The goal is to deceive the matchmaking algorithm into putting you with newer players so you can stomp them.

    And by doing so making the experience worse for new players. Its not the end of the world but its basically cheating. And cheaters are losers.

  • I used to do this except see how high I could get ranked with some arbitrary restrictions, like only allowed to use knife and grenades in csgo.

    I got to distinguished master guardian with pistols only.

    Knife and grenades was tough to get into gold.
