SMURFS.
Big bold -Yoinking!- letters for everyone to read. If you can’t handle your own account, do us all a favour, return your game and with the return money buy some rope. There should be an in game report system where you can expose players who do this kind of thing, and the same for a group of onyx travelling with a gold or silver. This games mechanics takes the piss out of legit players who get shafted, this goes solo cue and team. There’s no point to it. Ranked is impossible to play, social has become just as bad as ranked. I’m personally -Yoinking!- over it. I don’t know how you all feel but holy -Yoink- guys god forbid our community grew a little and people actually came back to this game they’d leave after the first game. Why? Because a real rank 1 would be secretly vs a -Yoinking!- champion disguised as a new player.
gotta say it’s a good thing you can’t jump through TVs cause I’d’ve caused more atrocities to this world than -Yoink!-.

There’s really no way to stop new accounts from existing because it’s a function of the Xbox, by Microsoft. Whatever 343i does, new accounts circumvent it. You can ban the account, but they’ll just create another different account and repeat the cycle.
Unless you simply prevent new accounts for playing ranked for a certain amount of time, but not only is that not guaranteed to work, you’re pushing away newer players from a section of the game.
As for “a group of onyx travelling with a gold or silver”, how do you know thats always a smurf? That could just as well be a group of people with widely different skill levels.

Ay I feel you brother, I’ve come across teams in SWAT with two silvers and two onyxes, and that’s just not normal. I solo for the most part and I’ve seen a lot of -Yoink- but I’m only Gold 5, I’m not that great. What’s the point of giving people competitive ranks if you’re just going to turn around and put the, against someone way better just because they’re in a party with a lower rank?
There is a population thread available that can be used, but this conversation is better suited for the matchmaking feedback forums. Have a read over Dr. Menke’s archived feedback threads as he has discussed 343’s plans for dealing with this issue in future updates.
Best to read over the old posts first as any questions you may have are probably already answered there.
