Ever since the new elo update came out, pro players have been using smurf accounts to go up against lower rated teams and gain elo. The #1 rated player on the ladder has been banned for this. Today, I came across vivi, but noticed many others (e.g. Lyx) doing the same:

You'll notice two things going through these players' profiles:

• Having a teammate that is significantly lower elo in all TG games. These are usually fresh accounts, made days before, and sometimes have a low 1v1 rating to disguise the fact they are smurfs.

• Massive TG elo gain since new elo system update, with insane

Hi guys, switched from s8+ to s20+. I noticed in some Instagram photos the s8+ has a lot more vibrant and saturated (more typical Samsung) images. I tested it out side by side, and the s8+ has a much whiter white color. Also tested side by side with a friend's iPhone. S20+ has a greyish blue tint to it. Same color temperature settings as s8+. Is this normal? Or do I have a defective screen?

Every time I say something with a swear word in it it is censored after the new update. Any way to turn it off?

These past two days I've been crashing like crazy (solid 1 in 3 games, probably more). This is reminiscent of the crash issue we had before the last hotfix where the screen freezes and you get the 'not responding' message. It's been driving me nuts! Mostly happens around 30-45min in-game time. Anyone had similar experiences recently? Anyone managed to reduce the frequency

I don't see the point in the lobby filters, they're close to useless! Why not at the very least have a 'password' filter as in HD? Why can't I filter by map? Seems almost useless at this stage to be honest, and I'm sure its only a few lines of code to add.

3 times in a row now I've been disconnected randomly in first 10min of a game. Anyone else? Never happened before update

So every time I see an available lobby and I try to join it fills up almost instantly. Most of the time I get the 'error no slot available' message. I never see more than 10 lobbies and they all fill up within seconds of me seeing them. There is clearly a lot of demand. So I try to make my own lobby, and a solid 90% of the time I sit there alone indefinitely. Are people not able to see my lobby? And am I unable to see other's lobbies? Anyone have a similar issue?

Just wanted to get this off my chest as I've been thinking about it a lot. With all of Tarantino's best films, the common factor is the presence of violence throughout. I'm talking Pulp Fiction, Django, Inglourious Basterds. This is something he does best, yet has been reserving for the end in his past two films (Hateful Eight, OUATIH). Why?

At the end of OUATIH you get a glimpse into what this man can really do. I have a feeling that he's been trying to steer clear of it recently, but for the life of me I don't know why.

Hi guys, I've been looking into buying a set of ANC headphones, and even though I like the sound on the XM3s, the lack of multi-point BT is definitely a dealbreaker for me. I love the comfort of the QC35s but the sound is just not on par with the price imo. I liked the sound quality on the NC700s, but they were the most uncomfortable of the 3. I've heard that the clamping force reduces after a while, could anyone that has owned them for a month or more comment on this?
