Someone who actively and habitually uses smurf accounts to dominate lower-skill lobbies in competitive games — not just someone who happened to make an alt, but someone who does it regularly, often to stomp beginners, boost friends, or dodge rank penalties. A smurfer is generally looked down on in gaming communities: the wins mean nothing, the damage to matchmaking is real, and the behaviour signals deep insecurity about competing at your actual level.
Ranked has been unplayable this week — every other lobby has a smurfer who's clearly a Diamond player pretending to be Gold.
