Valorant: Upgrade the system to punish the behavior of experts pretending to be newcomers to bully weak players

In the real world, not everyone lives the life they like. Day after day, talents are buried, there is no mentor, no promotion, no opportunities, and it is very stressful to support oneself. In order to relieve stress, games are undoubtedly the best way. In the virtual world, you can customize and design the character that suits your heart the most, the perfect body that another admires, fit in with the style, walk with the wind, pick up a weapon, and feel the ultimate sense of superiority. If you can perform extraordinary operations, the proud feeling is beyond words and can only be performed on the battlefield.

It's always a competitive game. Your high-level skills will elevate you to a higher level, reaching a level where everyone's strength is equal. This inevitably increases the challenge, leading to frustration when you can't win, and growing angrier as you play, as if reflecting a sense of reality fatigue and the inability to rewrite your destiny. To continue seeking this sense of experience and entertainment, what do players do? They pretend to be new, bringing years of accumulated knowledge and skills, starting over, and beating others, severely affecting the experience.

This behavior is also known as smurfing. Whether it is a tower defense game or a shooting competition, it is difficult to stop. The masters come down to kill everyone and disrupt the proper order of the game. It is really unforgivable. Therefore, Riot Games officially announced that it will strengthen Valorant's smartphone authentication system to ensure that no one can enter the game with a fake identity to bully the weak.

The plan will start in North America, Brazil and other regions, and is expected to be gradually extended to global servers by 2026.
