Why are some people complaining it makes the new people get challenged early on to get better faster
It’s still bad. It’s basically cheating,
IMO new accounts are fine as long as you aren’t getting placed super low on purpose.
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball?
Not really. While being challenged is the best way to get better, there is a certain threshold where no being left with a chance to do anything leaves no impression on the person, and can even get frustrating and make them not even bother.
More accurate title would be “Smurf accounts make new player drop Halo, faster”.
A different perspective and I see your point towards it, but it “can” backfire when you clearly have smurfs taking advantage of the newer players.

Totally. It really helps me get better when I’m alive for a total of 45 seconds in a 10 minute game.

You dont run before you walk and you dont walk before you crawl.
Without a build up new players learn nothing. There are no short cuts to learning abilities, weapons and maps. Without knowledge of these things or time and space to learn them, new players will never learn them. Getting killed constantly by a high skill player does not give room to learn and master these.
Smurfs give low level players a challenge they aren’t ready for.

Which leads to annoyance, and then frustration, and then, often, simply quitting the game. Which means fewer new people, lower population.

Ridiculous.
If as a player you are awesome then why does one need a smurf account? Afraid that playing a similar class of player will cause someone to lose that coveted onyx or champion rank? That’s cowardice. I really can’t think of another reason unless you enjoy beating up kids and new players which makes one a bully.
The only way one gets better is to challenge yourself. This applies to pretty much every aspect of life, including H5.

I’m sorry this is not how it works. Smurfs are people that cant face people their rank so they create another account so they feel better about themselves…
sorry but its the truth

Studies show that you only learn through how much you train. Not the intensity.
While it does “challenge” new players early, how many of those new “challenged” players who find themselves getting run over with 1-15, 2-12… etc. K/Ds are going to stick around?
It allows makes new players quit matches and trade in the game faster.
Just like farming, there’s nothing you can say that defends this. You’re taking advantage of a broken system just so that you can look like a god with that precious K/D of yours being oh so high. You’re cheating and deserve to be banned from Halo and from Xbox Live.

Does that mean schools should start trying to teach algebra to 2nd graders?
No it doesn’t. All it does is discourage new players from playing at all.
Nah that’s a cheap excuse used by those who want to smurf. I can guarantee someone in gold or silver is not going to learn anything from getting pooped on by someone in onyx or champ who’s on a smurf. That’s not a challenge, that’s an impossibility for someone at that rank.
It’s all about being courteous. Yes, you can’t be forced to be considerate of others, but it would be a good thing to do. In reality, you’re just running someone else’s experience when you smurf.

I don’t support smurfing for the sake of plowing fields of new players before they can grow. Please elaborate on how it ruins their experience though. Getting beaten badly qualifies as a ruined experience? If you end up 80 points ahead in Strongholds do you spot the other team 50 points? Before you answer chew on a neat fact for a few seconds. Once upon a time online FPS games didn’t have ranks, divisions and mechanisms to put players against similar quality opponents. Guess what new players did? They got smoked until finding a way to improve.
Numbered ranks… it was the way to go… or starting everyone at Bronze 1 and letting everyone work their way up from the bottom, like the 1-50 system… It would’ve worked just as well.
If they wanted seasons, make them 6 months to give people time to grind out high ranks… Idk… They should be looking at how to effectively encourage longevity, even/skilled matchmaking, reduce derankers, and reduce smurfs… The current system obviously still needs work.
